The Trager® Approach

The Trager Difference

Hi, I'm Tiara Catey. As a licensed massage therapist, the Trager Approach has had the greatest influence on my practice. Why? I appreciate its unique and primary goal to reach the subconscious mind to positively affect the nervous system and let go of mental, physical and emotional tensions and stresses. This is achieved through movement, presence of attention, and attunement as a means to offer pain and stress relief, pleasurable feelings as well as profound relaxation.

As a Trager practitioner, I am enthusiastic to share this distinctive modality that helps people get in touch with themselves and feel sensational. Trager has enhanced my own ability to feel deeply, and be aware and present with my clients. Its playfulness and its inherent levity makes it a joy to practice!

The Trager Session

60-minute Trager Approach session - $200

The 60-minute session begins with a discussion about what has drawn you to seek a session and your intent for our time together. To get a baseline for a sense of your own bodily awareness, I will observe how you move and then offer some natural movements that may assist you in a greater sense of freedom and lightness. Once you are comfortably positioned on the massage table, the table work will begin. Some descriptive elements of the movements include shimmering, rocking, lulling, jostling, and stretching interspersed with pauses to allow you to integrate the sensations you are experiencing. Once the table work is finished we will check in to bring conscious awareness of what you have felt and recognize the difference in feeling on multiple levels.
