Dr. Cate has been a PT since 2006. She earned her degrees from 1997 to 2005 and has served a diverse, integrated and holistic patient population, ranging from pediatric, adult to geriatric care & has seen clients across most settings of PT. With this, her perspective of client care goes beyond the snapshot moment in a patient's care & spans the fullness of what a rehab process looks like from hospital to fully recovered! Prior to becoming a PT, Dr. Cate was a certified Kickboxing Instructor at the University for 4 years. At that time, she also gained her Personal Training certificate. It was her love of physical development, precise athletic movement, the empowering & affiliative coaching styles she experienced as a young athlete, & the love of studying the human body that compelled her into the PT field. Ironically, she is now bringing these two full circle in her development of Recover With Intelligence (RWI) & Train With Intelligence (TWI).
