what to know

Structural Integration sessions cost $175.

Sessions are about 75 minutes.

Upright Being offers two sliding scale appointments per month from $80-$140. Please contact Kate directly to schedule these appointments.

Payment and any additional scheduling is completed at the beginning of the session so that we can spend the rest of the time focused on the work. Upright Being accepts all major credit cards, checks and cash.

Upright Being does not accept insurance, but can provide the client with a receipt to submit to their insurance company for reimbursement.

Payment of half the session fee will be charged if canceled with less than 48 hours notice. A charge of the full session fee will be applied to no-shows. Exceptions are if the client is feeling ill or exhibiting symptoms of illness. Please note that exposure to Covid via your child/spouse/neighbor/co-worker/friend etc etc does not excuse you from the cancelation policy.

Kate is a queer-aware and trans-aware practitioner and welcomes all people as clients.

Kate works from a weight-neutral perspective. Meaning, all bodies benefit from Structural Integration and attaining an arbitrary number on the scale is not necessary or related to the inherent organization of the system as a whole.

Masks are optional for the client. Kate will be masked during the treatment portion of the session. An air purifier is running as well as a window cracked for ventilation.

Clients will no longer receive a text with health screening questions one day prior to the session. It is up to the client to reach out to Kate to reschedule if they are symptomatic or have had a known exposure.

Since reopening in July of 2020, we have had 100% success keeping Covid out of my practice with ZERO cases due to mask wearing, good ventilation, air purifiers and health screening. I am confident in my protocols and in the mutual care and trust we have with each other.

Clients who have a known exposure - a family member, a co-worker, a friend, etc - but are symptom-free and testing negative will be charged the cancellation fee. Please feel free to call Kate to discuss, if you are unsure. Exceptions may be made on a case by case basis.

Upright Being is located in the heart of Columbia City, just off Rainier Avenue and South Edmunds Street. Clients enter through a shared courtyard with Empire Espresso and Columbia City Pilates. The office is on the second floor of a residential/commercial building. From the courtyard up to the second floor, there are exactly 18 steps. There is no elevator access.

All new clients will be emailed an entry code which allows you into the building and onto the second floor. This code is also sent in the email clients receive 48 hours prior to each session as well as in the appointment reminder sent out one hour beforehand.

Free, 2-hour parking is located on the surrounding streets. Please note that you cannot make a left-hand turn onto Edmunds if you are driving south on Rainier. Ferdinand Street has a left turn signal and is just one block past Edmunds. The Columbia City light rail station is located four blocks away (0.4 miles) on MLK, as well as bus #7 and #8 that run along Rainier.
