The Natural Pet Doctor

Specialties & Services

About the Practice

Dr Katie Woodley was raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She did her undergraduate work at the University of Notre Dame and earned her Veterinary Degree in 2010 from Massey University in New Zealand. After working in small animal practice in New Zealand, she moved back to Colorado Springs to work in small animal practice there. She had some exposure to holistic medicine in veterinary school, but a health challenge with her husband and her own curiosity started her journey into integrative medicine. Dr Woodley was certified in acupuncture by OneHealth and has completed a Graduate Diploma in Chinese Veterinary Herbal Medicine from CIVT. She has additional training in veterinary natural nutrition and Chinese food therapy. She started her mobile holistic practice in Fort Collins, Colorado in 2018 and during the pandemic expanded her practice online to share her knowledge with both pet parents and veterinarians.
