I have been going to Kate for over a year and have been really impressed. I go to the gym a lot and Kate manages to help with the aches and pains and she changes the therapy based on you needs. She has always been flexible and accommodating even when I've been running late. I'd highly recommend Kate to anyone and have sent my parents for a massage and recommend her to others at my gym.
