Prior to moving to Sylva, Dr. Wilson and her husband Erik grew up in a small rural farming community in Northeast Colorado. She then spent her twenties traveling and living in South Africa. In her thirties, Dr. Wilson worked for Ribley Family Chiropractic in Woodstock, Georgia throughout her schooling and joined as one of the doctors until the opening of her own practice. With their love of small town living, a sense of community and family values, Erik and Dr. Katie felt Sylva was the perfect place to raise their two children, Eden and Kavan.

I’ve been giving and receiving massage therapy and body work most of my life. I have seen and felt the benefits of having body work and I am passionate about sharing my skills to help others receive the same benefits of bodywork. I am a 2017 graduate of The Center for Massage and Natural Health, and have been a licensed massage and bodywork therapist since 2017.  My passion as massage therapist is to be a facilitator in assisting the body to heal itself naturally. Massage is a tool to initiate the body’s self-healing faculties to reach and maintain optimum health and life long wellness. Massage is a preventative healthcare technique that has been shown to improve overall health physically and psychologically. My goal is for my clients to witness and experience improvements and positive change for their concerns and overall wellbeing. I offer many types of massage including: Swedish Massage, Integrated Massage, Deep Tissue Massage, and Pregnancy Massage.
