Meet Dr. Kat!

Meet Dr. Kat Sessler, Life Naturally’s Chiropractic's newest team doctor! She is 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 vet school hospital for a semester, but 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!

 

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 Clinic, she worked under a staff doctor whose primary focus was prenatal, infant, and pediatric chiropractic and it was then that she realized that taking care of kiddos, moms and babies was where her heart lay! 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. Right after grad school Dr. Kat became certified in neurodevelopment through the Focus Academy, obtained extensive training in craniosacral therapy (CST), and is also Webster Certified.  

​

We like to call Dr. Kat our "Toddler Whisperer" in the office as they flock to her, and you can often find her in the play area, either treating a little that wouldn't let anyone else touch them, or just playing with a kiddo who pulled her over.  

 

Dr. Kat is from the Chicago area and is thrilled to start giving back to the community that has had a meaningful impact on her life. When Dr. Kat is not in the office, she enjoys being active outside, pilates, watching college basketball and women’s soccer, and spending time with her family’s rescue dog, Rhino.
