Kate was born and raised in the USA. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from the University of Northern Iowa and her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Marietta, Georgia. She has extensive postgraduate studies in Childhood Neurological Behavioral Developmental Disorders, Lumbar Disc Derangements (such as Hernia’s, Disc Bulges, Stenosis, Sciatica, etc.), and is currently working towards her Masters in Functional Neurology with the Carrick Institute.
Kate was a member of the 2006 USA Rugby World Cup Team. To achieve such world-class physical performance, it takes more than just talent. To reach such heights, high performers need an expert team of trainers, chiropractors, physio’s, sports psychologists, nutritionists and coaches who program or influence our every waking hour (and even our non-waking hours).
With not only her educational background but also her high-level fitness science and training methodology she experienced as a professional athlete, Kate has an unparalleled advantage when working with patients. You simply won’t find this at your local 24-Hour Gym or nearest chiropractor. She understands that when you are exposed to a better support system (that includes your chiropractor, physio, trainer and coaches) and you are motivated to move forward with your corrective plan of attack, everything is possible.
Kate has lived in the Netherlands since 2009 and is married with three lovely children. When she is not in the office she can be spotted tackling playgrounds, working on her own physical training and exploring the Netherlands. Kate is a registered member of the NCA and SCN chiropractic associations.
