The Heart Behind THRIVE
Meet Dr. Kat
I am Kat Garner, ND, a licensed naturopathic doctor in Arizona and virtual consultant based in Georgia. My work is for women who feel dismissed, overlooked, or told “everything looks normal” when their intuition says otherwise.
With a doctorate in naturopathic medicine and training in clinical science, nutrition, botanical medicine, hydrotherapy, pediatrics, environmental medicine, and more, I bring both medical rigor and holistic wisdom to my care. What truly shapes my work is my lived experience, including postpartum healing, cesarean recovery, and the quiet grief of not feeling like myself after birth.
I know women deserve more than pills, protocols, and brushed-off symptoms. That is why I started THRIVE With Dr. Kat, a heart-centered model of care that feels accessible, affordable, and rooted in real connection.
Why THRIVE?
My passion is to provide Transformative Healing Resources and Insights for Vibrant Empowerment (THRIVE) to support individuals with personalized, root-cause naturopathic guidance.
My goal? To help you reclaim your connection to your intuition by addressing your dismissed symptoms, to restore your confidence in your body’s ability to heal, to help you truly THRIVE.

My Philosophy
Symptoms are not the enemy. They are signals. By listening closely, we can understand what your body is trying to say and respond with supportive, practical steps.
At THRIVE, my approach is grounded in:
• Compassionate listening to your whole story
• Exploring the root causes of your symptoms
• Functional and traditional lab education beyond “normal” ranges
• Clear, practical recommendations tailored to you
• Education that builds confidence, not confusion
I do not diagnose or prescribe outside of Arizona. Instead, I serve as an educator and guide, helping you connect the dots, understand your body, and feel empowered in your choices.
My Story, Briefly
I recently moved back to Georgia with my family, carrying both the joy of motherhood and the lessons of healing that came with it.
Outside of consultations, you will usually find me outside soaking up fresh air, curled up with my cats, or sharing nourishing meals with loved ones. These everyday rhythms keep me grounded and remind me that true wellness is not about chasing perfection. It is about cultivating a life that feels good to live.
