About Katherine

Although my professional experience may be limited, my practical skills are quite remarkable. I am an individual raised with a holistic approach, and I am currently a mother to six children, one of whom requires attendant care due to special needs. My education in psychology and health science has been built upon the foundation of my family that I have nurtured. My small tribe has demonstrated to me the significance of personalized care and attention. As a student, a mother, and the sole provider for my family, I persist in pursuing my educational aspirations, with the hope of establishing a holistic family practice once my children are older. My strong work ethic is driven by my wish to demonstrate to my children that with hard work, anything is achievable. My objective is to advance my educational journey while fulfilling my responsibilities as a full-time parent.
