Understanding the high degree of connectivity within the body allows Osteopathic Manual Therapists to approach the patient as a whole rather than focusing only on the injured or painful area. This approach to the body is the reason Kate enrolled in the Canadian College of Osteopathy. Kate successfully defended her thesis and received her Osteopathic Manual Therapist designation October 31, 2021.
In her spare time Kate enjoys golfing, curling, and spending time with her husband, step-daughter, and dog.
