I love working with Hoboken’s “service above self” community to achieve and inspire greater health and wellness. As an outsider, born in Paris, who grew up in South Africa and studied in London, I have been searching for a place where I belong. I finally found my haven in Sinatra’s old town.

My success stories range from providing successful wellness and weight-loss programs, inspiring individuals to make a diet and lifestyle change to achieve immense weight-loss and incredible health. Mike Novak, current Chamber of Commerce President is a client of mine who has seen results anad success first hand. Additionally, I work with Hoboken moms whom have tried every specialist, tests, steroid and medicine for their infant and children’s eczema, colic, allergies, dermatitis, yeast infections, bronchitis and constipation have expressed many heartfelt testimonials filled with gratitude and relief for the safe, holistic, preventative, hugely effective and natural options that I provide for all health issues and wellbeing.

I lead and inspire by example. I am a compassionate caring soul that can connect to and understand people’s suffering and dissonance largely because of the adversities and challenges that I have been through both health wise, academically, professionally and personally. I have been bullied and oppressed I have learned to overcome my fears and insecurities and help my clients do the same.

The latest business obstacle that I have learned to overcome is to not confuse making a wise business decision with the need to please people and keep everyone happy. I have learned to be assertive in standing my ground based on fair ethics and respecting and adhering to my boundaries of which time and resources are very valuable.

My niche, is that I am the only Naturopathic/Holistic Physician in town and that I have this special, fully equipped herbal/homeopathic pharmacy and a kitchen that is layed out for teaching cooking classes & home remedies. I also have a complete wellness center that offers health/nutrition workshops, meditation, qi-gong, natural child birthing, and various other health care practitioners that work alongside of me to better your health. I love the seasonal space that I have created that synchronizes well with my philosophy of life and healing based on the true biorhythms of nature.

My favorite part of my job is to be like an alchemist, a “creator of wellbeing” or so I feel when I am in my laboratory mixing my patients formulas to address their ailments. I truly have a way with herbs. It is a medical art form. My Herbal Pharmacy professor used to say that, in order to make well-balanced herbal remedy you need to be a great chef and enjoy life.

I would like to promote the concept of Seasonal Health, living healthy with each season of the year and of life. I created this concept after my medical internship in XiYang Hospital in Beijing, China where I observed centenarian practice of conducting every aspect of life as part of your health practice and I was changed forever and discovered the need to expand on this philosophy, modernize it and apply it to medicine.

Dr. Kathia's Favorite Hoboken Restaurant: It’s Greek to me; Baker the owner takes time to get to know his customers, all the waiters go out of their way to make you feel right at home. They are always generous, friendly, the food is fresh, healthy and reasonable.

Her Favorite hang out place is the Hoboken Rotary. The social gatherings is where she's learned "service above self" and how to give back to the community.

Her Favorite Frank Sinatra song: Frank Sinatra’s Song “New York, New York” has so much meaning to me, it was the song we opened our wedding dance to, as this was where we were heading for a better, safer life after I got married. Trust me the challenges I had to get settled here in business, truly fits the statement “If you can make it here, you can make it any where!”

Since Hoboken is the birthplace of baseball, Dr. Kathia watches Hoboken’s little league from time to time.

Kathia's theme for Hoboken, The City: Not quite city, not quite suburbs, it’s like a clean, shining pearl surrounded by a huge shell with the city skyline as a spectacular view and people that want to make you call Hoboken Home.
