"First, I find out what a person would like to see as a result of their massage therapy.  Then comes the fun part...the process of finding out which modalities, pressures, etc. they will be comfortable with and that will work for their body on that day.  Everyone is so unique in their make up it's always a challenge, and one that I absolutely love.  It's important to me to treat clients as individuals.   I think that's what makes what I do so affective.  There is no one kind of massage that works for everyone.

When she's not at work, Kate enjoys hiking, running, reading, music, net surfing, movies and traveling to visit family in Florida and Michigan.
