ABOUT
DR. KATIE Donovan
“What I love most about my job is connecting with people. You are a human being with a unique and important story. My care centers around getting to know you and your story, and then meeting you with compassion, empathy, and care. That is the best environment for working toward wholeness and health.”
Dr. Katie uses her skills in chiropractic, acupuncture, and various soft tissue and massage techniques to help her patients achieve their health goals.
Bio
Dr. Katie Donovan (formerly Dr. Katie Gooch) has been in private chiropractic practice since 2017. She specializes in gentle, low force care that is guided by intuition, education, and experience with connecting to and providing healing for people. Dr. Katie started her chiropractic career after many years in customer support in an educational and information technology environment as well as with business-to-business sales. “I had no idea that my journey through different jobs would help prepare me for my chiropractic practice,” she says. Through this unique career path and Dr. Katie’s natural talent and personality, she excels with communicating with patients and solving complex problems.
Dr. Katie is passionate about caring for each individual! She works with teeny, tiny babies up through patients in their 90s. Dr. Katie says, “I enjoy going through the different phases of life with my patients.” Dr. Katie has had the opportunity to care for four generations of one family! She also enjoys getting to work with parents who are trying to conceive and, fortunately, getting to see that pregnancy through and getting to meet and adjust little one.
In addition to prenatal and newborn care, Dr. Katie also sees pediatrics from toddlers to teens. “There are many conservative options to help treat the varying aches, pains, and injuries that tend to happen when school-age and tween patients are active on the playground, in sports, or in life!”
“The bulk of my practice thus far has been ladies and kids of all ages. And I love getting to work with male patients too!” Dr. Katie gets to see many male patients monthly to help maintain their bodies so they can keep themselves moving - whether that is on the farm, at work, or even on the golf course.
Intuition and attunement are an important part of achieving wholeness and healing. “The exchange of energy between two people is a necessary part of my practice.” Healing care is less about knowing what to do, and more about the positive intention and energy that is exchanged between provider and patient.
