Dr Catherine was raised in Orlando, Florida and although loved the sunshine state, the University of Iowa and the Writer’s Workshop brought her to Iowa. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts, in English Literature and Religion and a minor in the Classics. Her original intention was to teach, however, life presented other opportunities.

Her path to Chiropractic began as a result of her oldest son who had been suffering from weekly migraines for almost a year. At her best friend’s (a chiropractic student at the time) suggestion she brought him to Palmer Chiropractic College. After his first adjustment, he did not have a headache for 3 weeks and it was then that Dr. Catherine wanted to know more.

As a result, Dr. Catherine graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic – Davenport in 2011. While at Palmer she specialized in Blair Upper Cervical Technique, which focuses on the treatment of subluxations of the cervical spine. Since joining the WWC Team, she has studied Quantum Neurology, Torque Release Technique, NeuroEmotional Technique, Contact Reflex Analysis, Postural Restoration and Trigger Point Therapy.

Dr. Catherine has always been a lover of movement, first as a dancer then competitive swimming and years of long distance running to her present-day passion: the integration of Yoga, Pilates and Mobility training for therapeutic uses. She continues to explore the latest research connecting movement, neurology and pain.

Through Dr. Cooper’s incredible example, determination and guidance, Dr. Catherine has found a place that feels like home, both challenging and fulfilling. “I am forever grateful to be a part of the Wholistic Wellness Team. We treat the individual with a holistic lens… we are not one-dimensional beings and so we must broaden our scope and always be curious.” – Dr. Catherine
