When she is not in the clinic Kate is enjoying the business of family life; she can be found at the coffee shop, enjoying her children’s sports and music, in the mountains for hiking and snowboarding, savoring culinary adventures, riding bikes with her husband, at the nursery indulging her plant addiction, or at the dog park.
“Love this place and these ladies! I was a patient of Kelcy and Shana’s back when they worked in Ballard, and they helped me tremendously with my low back issues.
Since then I’ve screwed up my knee (and it turns out my hip) and they are putting me back on the road to recovery. I will be running again soon! Pros: Parking lot, friendly sta, hour appointments.Cons: I have to drive here or ride my bike from Ballard.”
