Kate has a degree in Music Education with endorsement in Elementary Education and is a certified Montessori Directress. Her 28 years of teaching covered everything from preschool to college. In 2002, she became a Licensed Massage Therapist and discovered Healing Touch.

 

She became a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist and an Advanced Practitioner of HTSM in 2007, and a Certified Healing Touch Spiritual Ministry Practitioner and Instructor in 2008. Kate has a great deal of knowledge of essential oils and their benefits from her previous experience as a Pharmacy Tech. This has enabled her to make the chemistry of the oils understandable to her students, and they are greatly appreciative of this.

 

She has a private practice in Knoxville and Oak Ridge. Kate blends massage, HTSM techniques, aromatherapy and music for the highest good of her clients.  Her memberships include National Association of Holistic Aromatherapy, Healing Touch Professional Association and Healing Touch East TN.

 

She is active in her church as a Pastoral Care Minister and has developed an HTSM outreach program there. Taking HTSM to other countries is her dream.
