A native of North Platte, Dr. Katy played sports at a young age. She attended the University of Nebraska Kearney and played softball for the Lopers and transferred to Midland Lutheran College, where she continued to play and coach softball. After graduating with a Bachelor’s of Science in Respiratory Therapy, Dr. Katy completed her Doctorate of Chiropractic at Parker University College of Chiropractic. While at Parker, Dr. Katy also earned a Bachelors of Science in Health and Wellness.
The Importance of Preventative Care
While she didn’t always know she wanted to be a chiropractor, Dr. Katy had always gravitated to helping others and was interested in preventative health. She had considered attending medical school, but began to see that she wanted to help others live better from a more natural, holistic standpoint. “I knew there had to be a better way to help people without making drugs or surgery the first option of care,” she says.
As a respiratory student Dr. Katy spent a substantial amount of time participating in rotations in multiple hospital settings. In these settings, she witnessed devastation and illness and realized she wanted to help prevent disease and wanted to be in a profession that didn’t resort to drugs or surgery. “I fell in love with the art of healing that chiropractic endows and it is within chiropractic that I find my passion for life,” she says.
Once she embarked on her chiropractic journey, she has never looked back. “I just love giving the gift of preventative health,” she says. “I love seeing families get well, see kids thriving in school and being able to support parents as they welcome their new babies into this world. I love the communication and the relationships I have with my patients.”
Premier care for women and children
As Dr. Katy’s practice grew, she realized that she was passionate about caring for pregnant women and children. She is the only Webster certified provider in the area! This specialized technique supports pregnant women. As a mom of two, Dr. Katy is also passionate about offering gentle and loving care to children.
