About Kathleen Gramzay
Where Do Holistic Health, Self-Empowerment,
Neuroscience, and Conscious-Culture Intersect?
In Programs that Increase Human Resilience, Well-Being & Productivity
Some days being human can be tough. Physical, mental, and emotional pain are experiences that literally come with the package. My pain, coupled with holistic education and a passion for understanding how this body and mind work, channeled my attention to seek root-cause solutions within the body itself.
Contending first with chronic muscular pain and then riding the mental and emotional stress rollercoaster of entrepreneurial burnout, I needed effective solutions that improved my state of physical and mental well-being "now". I needed to sharpen my brain function. I needed to expand my capacity to productively meet life's challenges from a state of mental and physical vitality, not exhaustion and grind. Learning to reset my nervous system and physiology neurologically enhanced my mindset and ability to engage meaningfully with others. It also provided a more compassionate lens through which to view and understand human behavior that results from a chronically stressed nervous system.
With over two decades of living, studying, applying, teaching, and partnering with the body, I can affirm that we are designed for resilience. Thankfully, it also comes with the package. Science has proven that not only can the body reset itself, it can also be used to reset the mind. To acknowledge that innate power and the interrelatedness of body, mind, and emotions, I use the term "body/mind".
Right now, we all need our clearest minds, our kindest hearts, and our healthiest bodies to collectively solve the challenges we're facing. Applied resilience is the keystone of that power.
Learning how to work with and condition my nervous (operating) system expands my resilience capacity- physically, mentally, and emotionally to engage with life, and live and lead with energy and purpose. Supporting other mission-driven leaders to do the same is our WHY.
Whether you are a leader seeking personal and organizational sustainability, an individual wanting more peace and ease in your body/mind, Kinessage® programs give you the skillsets to consciously direct self-restoration for clearer-minded thinking and pain-free movement to focus on what's important in your life and business.
Kathleen Gramzay, Body/Mind Resilience Innovator, Speaker, Neurosomatic Intelligence Practitioner & Facilitator, Author, Developer of: Kinessage® Mindful Resilience, Kinessage® Release Your Pain Self-Care System, and Kinessage® Massage Through Movement
As a Board Certified Massage Therapist and Educator, Ms. Gramzay forged her own trail using the nervous system and movement to restore the body/mind.
In her 16-year clinical massage therapy practice, Knead for Balance, Inc., Kathleen proved her self-developed methods, first on herself and then with thousands of clients, including professional athletes. Concurrent with her practice, her passion expanded to teaching. Kathleen taught Anatomy and Kinesiology at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts before becoming certified as a National Continuing Education Provider. Over 8 years, she taught her innovative Kinessage® methods nationally to occupational, physical, and massage therapists at conferences, schools, and seminars.
Spurred by the raging opioid epidemic in 2015, Kathleen retired from her practice to convert her programs into a broader impact, non-drug, do-it-yourself solutions for chronic muscular pain and disorders for the public and business. Her personal experience of burnout during that business launch led her to a deeper study of healing the nervous system from chronic stress. She then integrated that knowledge into applied resilience programs to support other mission-driven leaders to live and lead from their best Selves.
Prior to holistic health, Kathleen's entrepreneurship included real estate development, writing, and an international distribution business.
