Meet Dr. Kimberlee Barnhart
Choosing the Chiropractic Path
Dr. Kimberlee Barnhart always knew growing up that she wanted to be a doctor and work with children. Originally, she pictured herself serving in the medical field as a pediatrician and pursued an undergraduate degree with this goal in mind. She graduated pre-med from Baylor University in 2012 with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Biology. However, towards the end of her studies she realized that the route of traditional medicine might not be right for her at the time.
It was while working in a medical office following her undergraduate studies that Dr. Kimber experienced a minor back injury that brought her into a chiropractic office for the first time. The improvements made in her pain and her life opened her eyes to the potential benefits that holistic care could offer people, and she began exploring the chiropractic profession.
Earning a Doctor of Chiropractic
Her pursuit of a chiropractic education brought Dr. Kimber to the Houston area. She attended Texas Chiropractic College in Pasadena and graduated in 2017 with a Doctorate of Chiropractic. Dr. Kimber is licensed by the Texas Board of Chiropractic Examiners. In addition to the standard chiropractic curriculum, she also pursued more extensive individual training with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), earning over 200 additional hours of specialization and board certification in pediatrics and pregnancy.
Dr. Kimber has earned the distinguished pediatric credentials CACCP, to be Certified by the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics. Additionally, she is Webster Technique certified, which qualifies her to provide the best care for pregnant women. Dr. Kimber also particularly enjoys helping parents and infants overcome tethered oral tissue (TOTs, tongue/lip tie) challenges with experienced myofascial body and cranial work.
During her time in chiropractic school, Dr. Kimber completed rotations at Rice University, caring for football athletes, and at The Bridge Over Troubled Waters, providing chiropractic care in a women’s and children’s shelter. One of her most unique memories includes traveling to the Dominican Republic on a mission trip, providing all-natural chiropractic care to underserved communities.
Dr. Kimber is a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association and American Chiropractic Association.
I want to be a wellness, pediatric and pregnancy resource for my community alongside other local health professionals, creating a supportive health community.”
Enjoying Life in Katy
Dr. Kimber is originally from Flower Mound, Texas but is now a proud Katy resident. She loved the Houston area so much that after completing her doctorate she decided to stay! When she is not in the office she loves to spend time with her newborn son Luke, husband Matthew, and their beloved Yorkie pups, Reese & Otis! Dr. Kimber enjoys watching sports and cheering on her Baylor Bears (sic’em!) and the local Houston Astros. She also enjoys exploring new local restaurants, scrapbooking, reading, and indoor cycling. She is grateful to have been welcomed with open arms into the charming Old Katy community and is proud to serve so many wonderful local families.
