Meet Dr. Kat!
Dr. Kat is Life Naturally’s newest associate doctor! She is in her first year of practice and thrilled to be part of the team.
Dr. Kat completed her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology (with a minor in Animal Science) at University of Illinois @ Urbana-Champaign in 2021. She initially planned on becoming a veterinarian and shadowed in the neurology department of the vet school hospital for a semester. She found herself taking more and more human health science classes as electives and ultimately decided to change her career plan due to a growing passion for human health and the nervous system! Her passion for animal welfare is still strong and worked at an animal shelter while she was in graduate school.
After undergrad, she attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, the first chiropractic college in the United States! During the clinical portion of her education at the Palmer Outpatient Clinic, she worked under a staff doctor whose primary focus was prenatal, infant, and pediatric chiropractic; Dr. Kat had a year’s worth of this kind of experience before graduating with her doctorate in 2025! Dr. Kat prides herself in being a lifelong student and is determined to provide the best care possible to her patients. She particularly enjoys studying infant and child development, pregnancy, and nutrition.
Dr. Kat is from the Chicago area and is thrilled to start giving back to the community that that has had a meaningful impact on her life. When Dr. Kat is not in the office, she enjoys being active outside, watching college basketball and women’s soccer, and spending time with her family’s rescue dog, Rhino.
