Kate Anderson, NCTMB, is a nationally certified massage therapist with specialized training in Neuromuscular Therapy and Active Isolated Stretching. She is a faculty clinician at the Highland Natural Care Center and is a clinical supervisor and instructor for the School of Massage Therapy. Anderson received her training from the Cascade Institute of Massage Therapy in Eugene, Oregon, in 2000. She has recently returned to school seeking a degree in Exercise Science and Physical Therapy. "I have returned to school to gain a better understanding of the movement of the human body. I hope someday to use my massage therapy background in the world of conventional medicine to help individuals treat chronic pain with maintenance, rehabilitation, and preventive measures. I believe that massage therapy is effective for relieving and managing chronic pain and should be more readily available to the community."

She has backpacked through Thailand, learning about the different styles of bodywork and healing. She enjoys hiking, skiing, walking her dog, reading, working with stained-glass, traveling, and volunteering.
