Dr Kate Slade
Chiropractor
As a teenager, Kate’s interest in chiropractic grew, ever since she saw her father avoid his scheduled spinal surgery after visiting a chiropractor. Kate herself experienced regular migraines and tonsillitis for over 11 years, and it was not until she underwent chiropractic care at university did these conditions disappear for good. Kate knows first hand how chiropractic care can change the health and lives of families and she feels passionate about spreading this message.
After graduating in 2004 with a BSc (Hons) from the Welsh Institute of Chiropractic (University of Glamorgan) Kate further developed her skills at a number of chiropractic clinics in the UK before moving home to Kerry to open up Vitality Chiropractic. Originally from Ballybunnion, Kate is delighted to be home.
« My area of special interest is caring for mothers-to-be, helping them have wonderful pregnancies and labours. As a proud mom to two little Slades, who were both born at home, I am passionate about empowering women to have their choice of labour and help them to get their bodies as “birth-ready” as possible. »
