Kathrine Guinea

Front Office Manager

Hello, my name is Kathrine. Friends and family call me Katie.

I have lived here in the beautiful desert all my life.

I’ve been with Movement for life for 13 going on 14 years. I started as an aide and now I’m currently the front office manager.

I enjoy being a Mom the most to my two kids. I also recently got engaged as well and we plan on growing our family as well.

I enjoy hiking in the beautiful desert mountains and trails.

I love being around family and friends and barbequing. I enjoy going to concerts and shows as well but nothing compares to the love I have for sports. We attend Dodger games regularly and even go out of the state for them. I think that is what draws me the most also to physical therapy. Movement is always involved and important. I plan on being here for the next 14 years to come.
