MEET DR. KATIE
Dr. Katie LaBarge is a North Country native, from Canton, NY, where she also attended St. Lawrence University. During her time at SLU she studied biology, psychology, and exercise science, while deepening her interest in all things pregnancy and pediatrics. It was there where she discovered her passion for chiropractic AND that she could combine this with her lifelong passion of pediatric health care. Dr. Katie knew that she wanted a career that prioritized women’s and children's health which is how she found herself at the New York Chiropractic College (NYCC), now named Northeast College of Health Sciences.
At NYCC, Dr. Katie took every class pertaining to women's health, pregnancy and pediatric care offered in addition to being president of the pediatrics club. In early 2019 she also completed her Masters in Applied Clinical Nutrition at NYCC. Since graduation Dr. Katie has cultivated her passions by joining the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association where she plans to become board certified in pediatrics, by becoming a member of the American Chiropractic Association’s pediatric council, and by taking as many pediatric, pregnancy, and postpartum classes as she can manage in her hectic schedule. She is constantly pursuing some class or certification to better serve moms and babes of the North Country.
As both a chiropractor and a nutritionist, Dr. Katie is dedicated to helping people of all ages and stages achieve optimal wellness. She currently resides in Brasher Falls with her husband Corey, their three children, Noah, Vanessa, and Alana along with their two labra-huskies Turbo and Aleu.
