She has over 30 years of experience and this is clearly evident in every single treatment. Her commitment and perseverance to ensuring that all of her patients understand their pain or injury are able to heal, and sustain their wellness is exceptional, personal and well respected in the medical community.
She became a physio to avoid having to sit behind a desk and can often be heard telling everyone that she “absolutely loves what she does” and this is abundantly clear at any moment of her day. She enjoys treating headaches, spinal-aches and pains, and post-op orthopaedic rehab and has a particular passion for musculoskeletal and thoracic spinal pain
Born and raised in Pietermaritzburg, she studied in Cape Town, travelled the world, and now works and lives Joburg. Her Top Hobbies are wining, dining, and hiking but not necessarily in that order.

Gymnastics was her first love and she pursued it all the way to the National Woman’s Gymnastics Squad (1985 – 1987) alongside Ballet, Highland Dancing, Swimming and Athletics.

Kate is very empathetic towards her patients. She treats them with a firm hand yet gentle approach, as she guides them through their rehabilitation journey.
On a personal note- when Kate is not running around with her two lovely children, she can be found pottering around the garden, or starting her latest DIY project at home.
Fun Fact 1– Kate enjoys most board games, and has an extremely competitive streak. She is a fiend when it comes to 30 seconds.
Fun Fact 2– Kate is an animal lover, and a sucker for a sad story- as a result she has three rescue dogs and three rescue cats.
