What Families Are Saying

"Kat is the best chiro I've been to, and I've been to a few. Her knowledge of the body is incredible and she knows techniques that I've never seen another chiro use before. Just last week my husband woke up limping saying his knee felt off and couldn't put any pressure on it. She worked her magic and got him walking in one visit! I had a kink in my neck from breastfeeding for about 4 months that another chiro and massage therapist couldn't alleviate. She adjusted it perfectly in one visit and brought so much relief. Last visit my almost one year old was having constipation for several days. He pooped within an hour of her adjustment on him. My husband and I call her a sniper because her adjustments are so pin point and effortless, I rarely even feel them! And to top it off, Kat was my doula about a year ago for my first birth. Having someone so knowledgeable during birth was AMAZING. She gave me adjustments and had me labor in positions that progressed labor beautifully, and I was able to have the unmedicated natural birth of my dreams. Seriously, my husband and I recommend Kat to everyone."

"As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to have a doula present for my birth. A close friend referred me to her doula, Kat. As a first time expectant mom, I did not know what to expect for my pregnancy or birth. Kat was with us every step of the way. As soon as I went into labor Kat was guiding me and my husband through every part of the journey. My goal was to have an unmedicated birth, and Kat's presence truly made that goal a reality. In addition to being an essential part of my birth, she made this experience extra special for my husband by keeping him in the loop with every step of the way."

"If you're looking for a chiropractor who truly cares, Kat is incredible. I've been to a lot of chiropractors, and her approach is ten times more thorough than anyone I've ever worked with. She takes a whole-body, functional approach and actually spends time with you, never rushed, always thoughtful. She was my chiropractor for six months while I was pregnant and dealing with severe sciatic pain, and she was the only reason I had relief during that time. I genuinely look forward to my appointments, and I leave every session feeling released and reset. Her calm, grounded energy makes such a difference, and I trust her completely."

"I cannot recommend Kat enough! She has worked wonders on my once significantly tight and hypertonic baby. After just a few sessions he was notably more comfortable, had improved range of motion and less irritability. In addition, his bradycephaly has also greatly improved with her gentle adjustments. Kat's warm and compassionate presence makes every visit enjoyable."

"We were looking for a doula earlier on our pregnancy and we were glad to have come across Cafe of Life where we met Dr. Kat, our chiropractic doula! I felt cared for but not overpowered. I appreciated how hands on she is and how she was not only there for me but also my partner. When we felt unsure of things, she made sure we had other options to decide what we wanted. She advocated to the most extent for us when we were caught up in our own chaos during our unexpected early arrival of twins."

"I cannot recommend Dr. Kat/Seed and Spine enough! As someone who is very selective about who I trust with my body and spine, she is one of the very few practitioners I feel completely comfortable with. From the moment you walk in, she creates such a welcoming, calming environment and takes the time to truly listen and understand what's going on. I never feel rushed, and I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. Her knowledge, skill, and attention to detail are incredible, but what really sets her apart is how much she genuinely cares about her patients. Whether you're dealing with pain, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to take better care of your body, I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. Carlsbad is lucky to have her."

"Kat was an absolute gift and blessing to our family. She was there for us every step of the way. As our doula, chiropractor and now friend, she made us feel so loved, supported and cared for. During the birth, she was everything I needed and more — peaceful, strong, encouraging and discerning. She knew just what to do when and helped guide me through each stage of labor. She's someone I could trust and allow in to the most vulnerable and special moment of my life."

"Amazing pregnancy and postpartum chiropractic! I saw Kat with my second pregnancy and, wowza, a huge difference in how I felt during the third and fourth trimesters. She increased my mobility and decreased pain. I thought baby #2 moved less than baby #1 in the womb, but then Kat did her thing and baby #2 had more freedom to move around! It was amazing."

"If you get the opportunity to have Kat at your birth — do it! She helped us achieve our goal of having an unmedicated, vaginal birth. She was a calm, relaxed, confident presence that was so helpful when contractions got intense. She had great coping tools and used Spinning Babies to get our baby ready to come into the world. After the birth she checked up on how we were doing and even brought over a home cooked meal and adjusted our entire family since she's also a chiropractor."

"Dr. Kat is incredible and we've already seen an improvement in my newborn's latch and temperament. The office is so cute and easy for the whole family to attend an appointment. I really look forward to continuing to work with her!"

"I couldn't be happier the world brought Kat to us when we needed her most. First, as my chiropractor which helped me function from months 3-9 for my pregnancy, and then as our doula. I felt so close to her throughout my pregnancy and was able to reach out and talk to her about anything. It turned out that my little boy was breech and didn't want to flip, so we had to come to terms with having a c section. Kat made sure we connected to review my c section birth plan and help us feel as comfortable and empowered as possible."

"We ADORE Dr. Kat. She has helped our sons with multiple issues. She is kind and extremely knowledgeable. Whenever my kids have big falls or seem off I bring them to her for an adjustment. Always giving me peace of mind. I recommend to all and everyone!!"

"If you're in need of the best doula ever Kat is your girl! During my first pregnancy I hired Kat as my doula. She provided so much support throughout my entire pregnancy whether it was checking in with me consistently or providing me with helpful information. During my birth she stayed by my side the entire time adjusting me, helping me breathe through my contractions, and even massaged my back during the really tough ones. When we were transferred to the hospital Kat continued to be by our side until our beautiful baby boy was born."

"I've been working with Dr. Kat for a couple months now during my second pregnancy. She takes so much time to really get a full picture of your health and addresses your needs so individually and specifically. She takes so much time to get to know you and I never feel rushed with my appointments. I'm so grateful to have found her and will continue working with her throughout the rest of this pregnancy and postpartum! 10/10 recommend!"

"Kat was essential throughout pregnancy and especially in labor. She helped me stay so calm with a foot rub — she knew that hospitals freak me out. Kat held counter pressure on my hips for every single contraction, and got into whatever position she needed to make it happen. Kat snapped a few photos of our first few moments together after our daughter was born. Our nurse even said that Kat was the best doula she has seen. I am eternally grateful."

"I have been seeing Kat for years at the two locations she has worked prior. I continue to see her at her new practice because of her passion to heal and care for patients. She is hands down the most passionate, hard working, caring chiropractor you can find. I couldn't recommend her more and if you are looking to begin your chiropractic journey you should absolutely begin here! Her office is a welcoming and calming environment."

"Working with Kat was the best decision in my pregnancy. I was anxious about the pain of labor and delivery and Kat being there THROUGHOUT it all was so helpful and comforting. Kat was there for me during my pregnancy and postpartum as a listening ear and a wealth of knowledge. Her calm presence made all the difference when I needed support the most."

"Kat has an amazing approach to her practice. I had a neck issue. Anyone who has had a neck injury knows how scary it can be to get adjusted when you have that kind of pain. Kat was very conservative in her approach and never made me feel uncomfortable. Through massaging and addressing some pressure points she was able to give me considerable relief. Her approach, knowledge, and technique was just what I needed. Once you meet her you will understand what I'm talking about."

"Kat was such an integral part to our entire journey as first time parents. She was able to adjust me during labor, which made such a difference in labor progressing, and adjusted our newborn shortly after birth which was a game changer! Such valuable services that we are incredibly grateful for. Having both the chiropractic expertise and doula support in one person made such a difference in our experience."

"Dr Kat has been amazing with our 7 month old daughter. She is patient and so knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her for any mom or mom to be!"

"Thank you so much for everything you did to help make Zane's birth a beautiful one. You were there for my emotional break downs, sacrum pain, emergency room care and more. I totally couldn't have done it without you. I am blessed to have had you as my doula and still be able to have you as a mama friend. You went above and beyond what I could have ever expected."

"Excellent care! Dr Kat is so kind!"
