Katya Shubova grew up in Odessa, Ukraine.

This experience marked the beginning of her fascination with the human body, which is what drew her into the field of Physical Therapy. When she relocated to New York, she majored in physical therapy at Stony Brook, SUNY and has been a therapist for nearly twenty years working with clients from birth through advanced adulthood. As a result of her professional expertise, Katya became quite interested in studying the primary causes of diseases that, if left untreated, could become chronic, and in ways to prevent such diseases.

She is now helping her clients reach their goals of ultimate health and happy living by incorporating these practices in her treatment and coaching sessions. Katya has a vast experience in working with clients of all ages, from zero to a hundred and up.

She has a vast knowledge of supplements and herbal remedies. Instead of relying on multivitamins, Katya believes that each body has its own specific nutritional requirements, and teaches her clients how
