She grew up in Eastern Nebraska on an acreage just south of Lincoln. Dr. Kate attended Norris High School and was active in volleyball, basketball, and track. She discovered the healing power of Chiropractic her junior year while playing volleyball. Lower back spasms prevented her from being able to practice. Her parents took her to see a Chiropractor and after the second treatment she was able to play without the use of pills or injections. She continued to be adjusted for two more weeks and never experienced low back spasms again.
