About Us

Massage Connection opened for business in 1990 after Kathryn Rose graduated from Blue Sky Educational Foundation School of Massage in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At the time Kathryn was one of a very small number of massage therapists working in the Fox Valley.  There are now 8 massage therapists/practitioners on her staff and a Healing Touch & Ayurvedia practitioner.

A resident of the Fox Valley for 38 years, Kathryn has continued to be active in promoting the health and wellness benefits of massage/bodywork in the Fox Valley for the past 20 years. Kathryn served on the Appleton Downtown, Inc. Board of Directors from 2005-2009 and is an active member of ABMP: Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals, Society of Ortho-Bionomy International Inc., Fox Cities Chamber of Commerce as well as a Reiki Master/Teacher.

"It's so rewarding to help people achieve a higher level of health and well being. It's not a job, it's my calling in life! My goal was to create a successful group practice with several practitioners offering a variety of massage/bodywork techniques, with an emphasis on wellness. We have achieved that and are seeing very positive results with our clients by combining complimentary approaches to healthcare. With over 50 years of combined experience our professional massage staff is what I hoped for Massage Connection. By taking an active role in our own health, well-being and professional development each of us has a very unique and individual massage/bodywork style to offer our clients." - Kathryn Rose
