Dr. Katie Bastable is a dedicated Doctor of Chiropractic, who received her degree from Life Chiropractic College West in the San Francisco Bay Area. Driven by a passion for wellness, Dr. Bastable’s personal health journey led her to discover the power of holistic healing. After facing a severe illness in her early adulthood, where traditional allopathic medicine failed to provide answers, she turned to a variety of natural healing modalities.

Her journey involved working with healthcare professionals in chiropractic care, naturopathy, acupuncture, breathwork therapy, clinical nutrition, and herbalism. In her exploration of wellness, Dr. Bastable also immersed herself in organic and regenerative farming, learning firsthand the profound connection between the health of the soil and the vitality of the plants it nurtures—an analogy she applies to whole-body wellness.

Dr. Bastable is passionate about empowering her patients to take control of their health. She believes that true healing begins by addressing the root causes of pain and dysfunction, not just the symptoms. Through individualized assessments, she helps uncover the sources of joint dysfunction, tension patterns, and chronic stress. Her approach is deeply informed by an understanding of the interconnectedness between breathing patterns and chronic postural patterns, which can both contribute to and reflect imbalances within the body.

Since 2015, Dr. Bastable has trained extensively in Reichian Breathwork therapy under the guidance of respected mentors Michele T. Newmark, Dr. Siri Gian Singh, and Dr. Mia Curcuruto, adding a powerful dimension to her holistic practice.
With a broad understanding of the variety of scopes in both medical and holistic health practice, Dr. Bastable focuses on co-management with multidisciplinary practitioners to ensure her patients receive the most appropriate care. She recognizes that achieving optimal wellness often requires a team-based approach.

There are many techniques within chiropractic and they all follow similar principles and laws of physics.  Dr. Bastable offers various chiropractic techniques that use lighter forces including manual adjustments, instrument assisted adjustments, drop table, and soft tissue manipulation. Her goal is to restore functional joint mobility and improve nerve communication which gives the body the ideal conditions for nervous system regulation and healing processes.
