Helping women come back home to their bodies, their pelvis, and their power.
Dr. Katie Kanda is a holistic chiropractor and pelvic health practitioner devoted to supporting women through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond. Her work blends gentle, intuitive bodywork with trauma-informed pelvic healing, somatic awareness, and deeply held spaces for connection.
She specializes in helping women who feel burnt out, disconnected, or in pain come back home to their bodies—reclaiming their breath, their pelvis, and their sense of power.
Through her hands-on care, retreats, and women’s circles, Dr. Katie creates spaces where healing doesn’t have to be forced… where the nervous system can soften, and where women are reminded they were never meant to do this alone.
Both clinically grounded and deeply human, her approach is rooted in the belief that the body is not broken—it’s brilliant. And when given the right support, it knows exactly how to heal.
I’m Dr. Katie, and here’s what I believe about health:
Your deserve healthcare that feels like a P A R T N E R S H I P.
Everything is connected. Every muscle, bone and nerve. Every thought, feeling and belief. We have to treat the body as a whole.
Together, we can restore your ability to heal yourself.
If you agree, I think you’re in the right place.
I celebrate the importance of collaborating with all healthcare disciplines; yet, I know that for many of us, healthcare is impersonal at best. Many of my patients come to me after poor experiences with other healthcare providers but leave with the understanding that treatments can be gentle, effective and empowering.
I’m so honored by their kind words:
“I came to Katie at around 34 weeks pregnant after months of pain from symphysis pubis dysfunction. After treatment from another chiropractor with no results, I honestly wasn’t expecting to feel better. I can’t overstate the relief I felt after a few visits with her. She was patient, thorough, intuitive, and was able to hone in on exactly the places that needed healing. ”
“Thanks to Dr. Katie’s gentle care, I was actually able to enjoy the last weeks of pregnancy. I am so grateful to her for the love and care and incredible skill she puts into her practice.”
Celebrating the importance of collaborating with all healthcare disciplines, Dr. Katie is thrilled to work alongside your trusted healthcare team to support you.
Many of her patients are new to chiropractors or, come to her after having poor experiences with other chiropractors and leave pleasantly surprised that treatments can be so gentle yet effective. Dr. Katie will ensure that you are informed and empowered during each phase of care, only performing treatments that feel safe and healing to you. Be prepared to discuss the mind, body + spirit to help you reach your health goals. A positive attitude, open mind, and a big smile is encouraged!
Raised in Chicagoland and now living in Portland, OR, I’m a Midwest Midwest native with a Northwest soul. I studied exercise physiology and dance performance at Western Michigan University and earned my Doctor of Chiropractic from University of Western States. When I’m not at the clinic, you’ll find me scheming up support circles, events, retreats to better support myself and the modern mamas, parenting my two young kids + fur baby, and adventuring around the PNW as a wild family of four.
I’m glad to have you along with me on this journey. Let’s keep the conversation going — join my email list! No spam, just my very occasional thoughts and upcoming events to help you feel more seen, grounded and held during this wild ride of parenthood + beyond.
