Because of Kate’s incredible knowledge and sense of the way the body works, I know how all my organs, muscles and bones integrate. I know how to hold my body and keep myself centered. I know how to align my body to return to being balanced. My workouts with Kate have a major body strengthening and toning component. Having Kate in my life has been so enriching. I have never met a lovelier, more sincere, and caring person. She is very serious and focused about what she does. I believe that she is blessed with the gift of being a natural healer. (Teacher)
When I began Kate Ciannella’s system of bodywork, I was taken by Kate’s sincerity, spirituality, and love for what she teaches. I have tried many different bodywork programs but none has influenced me more than Ciannella Integrated System of Alignment and Conditioning. The visualization, breath work and creating internal space was so empowering. Instead of being worked on always, I learned to take myself out of pain, redirect my alignment, and focus my awareness. To meet Kate and work with her is to be nurtured and loved. (Nurse/Homemaker)

I have known Kate for over 15 years and cannot imagine what I would be like if I did not train with her for those years.

Kate’s unique energy installs in her students a powerful sense of their own potential by teaching how to really know the body. The benefits are physical (awareness of stature and posture, increased strength, overall sense of well-being), and mental (calmness, ability to handle stress). Anyone, from elementary school to senior citizens will flourish under Kate’s tutelage. The world would be a better place if more people could spend an hour a week with Kate. (Journalist)
After working with Kate, for the first time in my life I feel that I know what is happening inside my body, and why, and that it is within my body that I will find the healing I have craved for so long. We talk about finding ourselves spiritually, but it seems that part of that process involves finding our true physical selves. Because we can’t really separate our spirits and our bodies. It’s all part of the same thing. Kate Ciannella’s Integrated System of Alignment and Conditioning addresses the alignment of both the body and the spirit. (Episcopal Priest)
Kate Ciannella is a healing, non-judgemental teacher and practitioner. She helped me to overcome physical and emotional blocks in my life and set me on a continual path of healthy living. She was truly instrumental in helping me to achieve my present state of good health. I will always be grateful to her. I would highly recommend her to others who have found themselves in a place where traditional modalities offer little to no improvement in their lives. (Businessman)
I first went to Kate 15 years ago, when I was unable to walk faster than a crawl, or perform activities of daily living without assistance, and lived in constant pain. I needed to be driven to and from my appointments with her since I lost the ability to drive. Kate welcomed me with her open heart, intuition, giftedness, skill, knowledge, and spirit. With each visit, I felt an alignment and peace within my body and a sense of hope that I had thought was extinguished. As I progressed with her mentoring, I began to take some of Kate’s classes with her other students. Through my association with Kate, I became awakened to integration of body, mind, and spirit. She is a gift and an enlightened being/teacher/healer who is trustworthy, true, and pure love.
