Meet the Doctor

Dr. Kati Schwabe, DC, CCSP®

Hi there!

I'm Dr. Kati Schwabe. I’d say that I knew from a very young age that I wanted to do something in the world that would help people to live better lives. In fact, my first hint at Chiropractic may have come from walking on my dad’s back when I was just a child. 

After graduating from the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse with a Biology degree focused on Human Anatomy and Physiology, I moved to Seattle to pursue a career in Massage Therapy. Eventually I moved my practice to the beautiful mountains of Colorado. Having a long career in Massage Therapy prior to becoming a Chiropractor has really allowed me to develop a strong understanding and an intuition of the body and soft tissue. I’ve been doing bodywork for over 20 years! I believe this is one of the things that makes me very different than many other providers and adds a unique ability to read the body and integrate soft tissue work into your care.

After deciding that it was time to return to a passion I had long discussed, I completed and graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in San Jose, CA. During my time there, I was an active participant on campus, an all too familiar fixture in the library, a Campus Guide, and member of the Palmer West Sports Council, which has become the model for Chiropractic sports councils across the nation. This allowed me invaluable on-field experience with amateur and professional athletes at such events as the National Senior Games – Stanford University, Sea Otter Classic cycling event – Monterey, and the US Half Marathon – San Francisco, among others.

As a former college rugby player and someone who loves to get outside whether it be snowboarding, mountain biking, or just a walk around the neighborhood, I understand how important it is to keep you out moving and doing what you love.  

I love that I get to contribute to the health, wellness, and happiness of this community every day!
