Caitlin Rose Fears LMT, CST-D, Astrologer, Owner
Throughout the years I have discovered that diverse treatments create a sense of whole body wellness. In sessions I include both deep tissue, Myofascial release, cupping therapy, and CranioSacral therapy. The main focus being CranioSacral treatment and as I like to say, it is the lightest touch but also the deepest work I can provide for a client. When working with the nervous system we have the ability to quickly access many patterns of strain and trauma contained within the Soma. SomatoEmotional release can often become apart of a session in order to restore health. As a result we support optimal function on all levels of mind, body, soul; thus we must maintain health through integrated work.
My goal is to help each client be pain free, empowered, and find a sense of vitality and well being through massage, CranioSacral therapy, and Astrology.
Holistic therapies are meant to be preventive care and support a healthy lifestyle. I am passionate about my career and continually learning so I can provide the best treatment possible for my clients. As I continue to learn and teach I am humbled by the wealth of knowledge and information waiting to be discovered.
Through Integration
Caitlin Fears is a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT), CranioSacral Therapist (CST-D), and Astrologer with a prior background in chiropractic clinic and medical support services. A graduate of the Ashland Institute of Massage, she was raised in Southern Oregon and educated at South Medford High School. She also studied psychology and sociology at Rogue Community College for a short time.
Caitlin worked at orthopedic and oncology facilities in Southern Oregon. The pain and suffering she witnessed there inspired her to explore whether there might be an approach beyond traditional medication and targeted treatment that addressed the body and mind as a unified system.
The result was her decision to pursue a career in massage therapy and to align this with her perspectives on mind-body integration.
After graduating at the Ashland Institute, Caitlin honed her skills at the Steiner Leisure spa academy in London, going on to work, via Steiner, as a therapist for the Royal Caribbean cruise line.
Returning to Southern Oregon, she became a therapist for one of the valley’s chiropractors and began part-time private practice, eventually deciding to switch full-time to massage studio work specializing in traditional deep tissue, myofascial release, Swedish, cupping therapy, and CranioSacral therapy. In June, 2015 Caitlin decided to open Meridian Wellness to provide an atmosphere dedicated to healing for her clients and community. By bringing together some of the Rogue Valley’s most talented healers one can find high quality care within one facility.
Caitlin is currently immersed in the deep studies of CranioSacral therapy, Trauma, as well as the ancient science of Astrology. She travels frequently as a Teaching Assistant and Presenter with Upledger Institute. Continuing education for all forms of healing modalities is a regular pursuit. She teaches Prenatal Massage and Ethics out at the Ashland Institute of Massage and finds inspiring others as one of her many passions.
She is a dedicated mother and wife who continually strives to find the harmonious balance between studying her passions for body work, CranioSacral Therapy, Astrology, and child development.
“My belief is that massage plays an important part in the integration of body and mind to create balance and whole-body wellness,” she explains. “I always spend time discussing with my clients their needs and, from that, developing custom treatment and advising on routines they can follow at home.”
Caitlin holds her state license through the Oregon Board of Massage Therapists (OBMT). LMT # 15835
As an integrative medicine physician, I have experienced many massages and cranial sacral therapy sessions from a variety of practitioners. I can say without equivocation that Caitlin Fears is the best. She has helped me immensely.
I had been having nerve compression in my neck for months. One cranial sacral massage session with her and it was gone and has not returned. Her craniosacral sessions as well as her massage offer spiritual as well as physical healing.
I leave her sessions feeling wonderful, calm and at peace. I cannot explain what she does. All I can say is that she is one of the special people in my life. She works with love, compassion, no judgement and something magical!
I started my sessions with Caitlin during my radiation treatments for breast cancer. I call her “the energy mover” and my sessions on a weekly basis have been healing and have changed my experience with whole body health. Caitlin’s attention and intuition on working with what my body needs is amazing. I love my massage time. My mind can now be at peace and work with my body to create good health and freedom to enjoy life
Caitlin’s hands and wisdom has been such a unique and powerful guide in my personal embodiment and physical healing journey. Her ability to lead my nervous system into calm waters and assist in the release of years of shoulder pain has changed the way I move through this world. I have also had the pleasure of having me and my children birth charts read which has lead me into a deeper inner standing of who we are and how we can find balance within our home. She is a funny, smart, dynamic, caring, loving, wisdom holder. I’m honored to have her as part of my support system.
I started visiting Caitlin as a referral from my previous massage therapist who had retired. I am quite happy with her service. Her knowledge and expertise in her field are very apparent. Not only does she help me with my aches and pains, the massages feel great and her insight to the human body is a valuable tool for me to remain healthy. I appreciate her feedback and patience explaining things to me in terms that I can understand. I highly recommend Caitlin for massage therapy.
I am a 61 year old tax professional and have been in practice for over 38 years. I have been getting massages from New York to San Francisco for the last 35 years. Recently, I had the pleasure of working with Mrs. Caitlin Fears for a number of massages. I was most impressed with her knowledge and techniques despite her youth. She was most skilled at releasing tension without creating pain. I would highly recommend Caitlin for a stimulation (increase blood flow) and a specific ache type massage. I doubt you will be disappointed.
I’ve experienced many massage styles and therapists over the years and have found an immense gratitude and appreciation for the deep, conscious, powerful, sensitive and healing work that Caitlin provides. She’s well versed and skilled in numerous massage techniques, though I find her strength, patience and intuitive knowledge in myofascial release, as well as her energetic sensitivity in cranial sacral work, unparalleled.
Knowing Caitlin as a human being, as well as a massage therapist, I can testify that she’s the real deal—living a life that facilitates a propensity to heal others through exploring the deep study of the body, mind, heart and energetic systems therein. I’d highly recommend her to anyone seeking health and healing through massage.
I had the immense privilege to have Caitlin read my birth chart earlier this year, and the experience has had a lasting and profound affect on my healing and understanding of myself. Patterns in my relationships were illuminated in a way that has led me to a fuller acceptance of myself and my unique signature and vibration for this lifetime. I gained a better understanding of the meaning of the houses and the details and intricacies of their interactions with the planets.
Caitlin is a gifted healer with such an open heart of understanding and a humble sprit of love. The guides and messages of the universe reveal themselves through her. I felt very trusting of the messages she shared, and I am still experiencing benefit from the reading she gave me months ago.
I would recommend Caitlin to anyone who feels curious or called to have their chart read.
Thank you Caitlin!
“Before going to see Caitlin for a massage I had no idea of the healing properties of receiving body work of this type. I am a very active person skateboarding, snowboarding, and martial arts so injury and body pain have become a normal part of my life I used to rely on chiropractic remedies when I would let my body get so banged up I couldn’t hardly move. The first time I got some body and deep tissue work done I was amazed at the relief that I received almost instantaneously. I still go to a chiropractor from time to time but nothing like I once had too.
Regular massage has helped me to keep my muscles and spine in good working order which allows me to maintain my active lifestyle. I have suggested and referred many people to Caitlin for relief from their body pains and issues. If you are experiencing any problems I would suggest the same for you and then when your body is back in order as mine has been for quite some time now you can enjoy the full benefits of having body and deep tissue work done.”
