She has further training with instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, pain science, evidence-based treatment of the knee, and comprehensive management of the lumbopelvic region.

Katherine grew up in the Pacific Northwest and loves to spend her time outdoors hiking, biking, long boarding, and playing tennis with her husband, John. Yoga is a passion in which she has attained a yoga teacher certification with additional training for chronic pelvic pain, pregnancy and postpartum. She also has organized several community events with an enthusiasm for bringing the community together. She is a foundational member of the Mendwell team and is passionate about growing pelvic health advocacy through her practice.
