Dr Kate Williams

Kate graduated from RMIT University in 2004 and has spent years developing her special interest in the treatment of infants and children. Kate has completed courses in Osteopathy in the Cranial Field and Paediatric Osteopathy, including a trip to Finland in 2010 to study Biodynamic Osteopathy, Rule of the Artery, Primitive Reflexes and Osteopathy, Tongue Tie management and more. After travelling and living in Japan for several months, Kate returned home to Bayside Melbourne and in 2012 she undertook a Graduate Certificate of Infant and Paediatric Manual Therapy at Victoria University to further her knowledge in this area. Kate also loves helping other osteopaths increase their own skills and has been a tutor at VU and assists in teaching paediatric professional development courses with her colleagues.

Orofacial Myology is a therapy that works with the individual’s muscular function of the tongue, mouth, jaw and facial muscles. Nasal breathing and correct chewing and swallowing is important for optimal health and development and Kate has undertaken further study of this therapy in 2022 with the Australian Academy of Orofacial Myology. She believes it is a fantastic adjunct to Osteopathic management and loves offering this as part of her patient care. Furthermore, Kate has undergone Advanced Lightwire Functional (A.L.F.) and Vivos appliance training with dentist Dr Jalal Khan.

Kate regularly collaborates with speech pathologists, dentists, lactation consultants and other health professionals in order to achieve the best outcome for her patients and is so excited to be part of the Craniodental team at the Sports and Spinal Group.

Kate is the mother of two gorgeous children and lives in Bayside Melbourne.

Kate consults from the Beaumaris Clinic.
