About Kathy: Kathy Ginn has been a dedicated practitioner and educator in massage therapy and bodywork since 1991. As the founder of 4 Rivers Center for Well Being in Oconomowoc, WI, she brings over 30 years of experience, blending her expertise with advanced training in the Hakomi method of Body-Centered Experiential Therapy.
A passionate ethics educator, grief companion, and end-of-life care doula, Kathy is also the author of The Soul of Ethical Service. She is deeply committed to transforming how ethics is understood in healing professions, guiding practitioners to see ethics as a path of self-discovery and healing rather than just a set of guidelines.

Through her heart-centered approach, she makes ethical education an engaging, dynamic, and deeply meaningful experience.
