All of this experience brought Dr. Kathy to establish Pura Vida Wellness Center in Western Pennsylvania. Patients traveled nationwide to receive her unique blend of care with specialties in Cranial/ Visceral Manipulation and personalized detoxification programs.
In June 2018, Dr. Kathy sold her practice to devote more time to learning about the relationship between chronic illnesses and environmental health. She spent extensive time with wildlife, learning from indigenous communities and permaculture farmers. She then focused her research in light, sound, water, and movement.
Dr. Kathy has collaborated with leaders in quantum biology, holistic health, and regenerative agriculture such as Dr. Vandana Shiva, Dr. Zach Bush, Dr. Gerald Pollack, and Dr. Nicole LePera. She is a frequent speaker at Cellcore Biosciences ECO conference. She is a member of Exxpedition, a UK based, all women scientists organization for ocean plastic pollution research.
Her diverse background and training in different worlds of medicine have given her the ability to provide personalized care to patients. Dr. Kathy is known for her originality, thoughtfully blending science and art, which she believes is imperative for healing. She is selective and discerning about medical claims and holds a high standard of critical thinking.
Outside of her clinical work, Dr. Kathy is a meditative artist, flamenco dancer, and a surf aficionado. She combines her personal and professional experience to encourage everyone to live a life of alignment.
