How it has been 1.5 years since I did an introduction, I do not know 😳

At any rate, hello! I’m Dr. Katie! I’ve been a practicing clinician since 2011. The PNW has always been home and I often think if I were to leave, “where would I go?”

I began my women’s health journey in PT school when I became enamored with helping women who struggled with basic functions (bowel, bladder, s3xual) and started my clinical education and post-doctoral studies in my third year of my graduate program. As the saying goes, the rest is history!

I became certified in dry needling in 2015 and use it as a main modality clinically. It has transformed both my life and the lives of many others physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Exercise and music have always been my medium. I grew up a competitive dancer and at 16, was accepted to attend Joffrey Ballet in Chicago (which I declined because I didn’t want to leave my boyfriend at the time 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🙄). As a senior in high school, I struggled to know if I should pursue collegiate studies or performing arts. After getting cut at my Juilliard audition in my first year of college, I reconciled it was the Lord’s plan for me to complete the former and I have no regrets!

I became a mama in my 30s and my son is my greatest joy and will always be my most prized calling. Walking life with him and having the chance to steward over such an incredible human is the coolest thing in the world.

I love coffee, sunshine and CrossFit. I am a water baby to my core; give me a paddle board and a body of water, and I am immeasurably happy! As I’ve said before, I love to hold stories and I cannot wait to hear yours! Thanks for stopping by!

Dr. Katie Goeckner, PT, DPT, RYT

Hi! I’m Katie and I am a physiotherapist. I have been practicing outpatient orthopedics with a specialization in women’s health care since 2011, and I...LOVE...IT!

A few fun facts about me: I daydream about having a cup of coffee with Jesus and asking Him all sorts of questions when I get to Heaven, my son’s scrunchy faces and giggles warm my heart like no ones business, being near or on the water nourishes my soul, my Bible is my most treasured and favorite book, I hope to qualify and run the Boston Marathon someday, I could not live without music, one day I’ll actually learn how to play my guitar, Floyd (yes, my guitar has a name), well. I’m a namer of things..obviously..my guitar has a name...and so do my plants...

I opened KBP in 2015 out of the frustration of growing demands placed on the profession as a whole, dictation from third party payors/medical insurance on visit approval, length, and duration of treatments, all of which compromised the care being provided to clients. I am beyond blessed to work directly with patients one-on-one comprehensive appointments, which enables clients to access myself directly without a referral, lower their overall out of pocket cost and ultimately help them heal faster.

I too have had my fair share of injuries and chronic pain growing up as competitive dancer for 17 years, turned Ironman athlete, turned yogini and stand-up-paddle board lover. It truly is a gift to be able to empathize and understand my clients presenting with a variety of ailments. My greatest adventure yet has been when my sweet little boy came into this world July 2018! Gives having empathy for my pregnant and postpartum clients a whole new meaning! Mamahood has been the most beautiful, most difficult thing I have every done. It’s also the greatest job I have and will ever have. What a privilege and an honor it is that God would gift me this role.
