Surrounded by sports from an early age was a driving force with regard to Kathy pursuing a career related to athletics. She received her BS in Physical Eduction from SIU at Carbondale in 1982. She went on to earn her MS in Education with a Specialization in Sports Medicine at Illinois State University in 1984. She has been a Certified Athletic Trainer since 1985 and is a member of the National Athletic Trainers' Association.

Kathy initially worked in the high school setting for two years as an ATC/Teacher before working as a Clinical Athletic Trainer for Carle Sports Medicine in Urbana, IL. She remained at Carle for 19 years where she worked with a large array of athletes, teams, coaches and parents both in the clinical setting and within the community.

In 2003, Kathy earned her Massage Therapy Diploma from The Healthy Lifestyle School of Massage Therapy in Muncie, IN. While in school, she quickly came to realize the powerful impact Neuromuscular Therapy has on the body, especially in combination with Sports Medicine. After gradualtion, Kathy pursued her PNMT Certification, completing it in 2006.

Kathy branched off into private practice in 2003, primarily utilizing Precision Neuromuscular Therapy techniques. She treats athletes and/or active clients who have functional issues related to their sport/activity. She also specializes in exercise (flexibility, strength/CORE) and ergonomic instruction. As an athlete herself, she understands the mindset of an athlete and enjoys the mental as well as the physical aspect of getting a client "back in the game". The positive results that clients receive from Neuromuscular Therapy and Sports Medicine brings great satisfaction.

Kathy and her family live in Champaign, IL. In addition to raising 2 sons, she is active in the local running club, and enjoys cycling, tennis, hiking, gardening and reading.
