About Family Chiropractic and Wellness

A Legacy of Natural Healing in Waterloo

Family Chiropractic and Wellness teamSince beginning her practice in 1986, Dr. Catherine Straus has been passionate about helping patients of all ages experience their best health naturally. Growing up in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, she takes special pride in caring for families throughout our beautiful community. Many of her earliest patients continue to receive care at Family Chiropractic and Wellness, now bringing their own children to experience the benefits of natural wellness care.

Growing to Serve You Better

In May 2024, Family Chiropractic and Wellness proudly welcomed Dr. Kara Yantha to the team. However, her connection to the clinic began years earlier when she started shadowing Dr. Cathy while she was a student/ intern at Palmer College of Chiropractic. Drawn to Dr. Cathy’s holistic approach to family wellness, Dr. Kara quickly embraced the philosophy of treating more than just symptoms.

Like Dr. Cathy, Dr. Kara focuses on understanding how pain or discomfort impacts a person’s ability to enjoy life’s most meaningful moments—whether that’s playing with their children or pursuing favourite activities.

With a background in competitive sports and a passion for empowering young people to take charge of their health, Dr. Kara brings a fresh perspective to our practice. Her dedication further strengthens our commitment to whole-family wellness.
