Katie earned her Bachelor of Commerce Degree from Dalhousie University in 2009. After spending a year in Whistler for the 2010 Winter Olympics, she moved to Toronto and began her professional accounting career working as a corporate auditor for one of Canada’s leading professional services firms. Her time spent in Toronto’s financial district provided first-hand experience with the physical and mental stress that came standard working in such a fast-paced and demanding environment.

Katie was first exposed to Chinese Medicine during this time while trying to manage her own chronic neck tension. Not only did the treatments resolve her pain, but the simple principles of Chinese Medicine made sense in a way that always seemed lacking from her previous experience with many Western modalities.
