Kath has a background in general practice and academia. She moved to Highland in 2016 to take up a post as an Associate Medical Director. After returning to clinical work in 2019 she struggled with brain fog and a collapse in confidence, prompting her to consider leaving medicine. Rediscovering a love of exercise and learning after a short period of coaching inspired her to re-train as a coach, lifestyle medicine physician and found Wild-Ness Retreats. She combines this venture with work as a GP at the Alness & Invergordon Medical Practice where she integrates western acupuncture and lifestyle medicine into her NHS consultations.
