NAPERVILLE INTEGRATED WELLNESS

NAPERVILLE'S TOP RATED LOCAL® FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE FACILITY

Hi, I'm Katie... I believe that every human being has the right to Thrive. I believe with the right inputs into the body; symptoms improve and dissipate.  I believe that a healthy body is critical to healthy thinking. I believe that our work is revolutionary, and I believe anyone ready and willing to achieve a higher level of health can do so with the right information put into daily practice.   There is a certain level of Power in being focused on a goal. To have a path. To make a decision to stand up for yourself, your future and your quality of life.  Putting you at the top of your list sets the course for your day - for your health - for your life. The simple act of recognizing that you are important and worthy of your own attention will instantly begin to raise your level of empowerment.
All the energy and thought that you spend on a daily basis feeling dissatisfied with how you look, feel, perform - all this energy can be converted into taking CARE of you instead of sabotaging you.

Every day I look forward to helping our clients address the root causes of their health problems, achieve a higher level of health and experience significantly improved quality of life.
I believe change is possible for anyone.

About Katie Surjan

Katie has been in love with exercise, movement and sports since she was 13.  Curiosity about the possibilities of the human body lead her into the fitness industry at the young age of 16.  Over the years she has been an aerobics instructor, fitness program designer, personal trainer, trainer to lumberjacks in Montana, and a nutrition consultant.   She has taught biomechanics, assisted with OSHA wellness and prevention programs, and weight loss management coach.  She has Loved it all!
It is her absolute passion and pleasure to help others achieve their goals and help them see the potential that she can see in them.  This often requires helping them get out of their own way, allowing health to emerge. This is what a good coach does, they see the potential that their clients may not see in themselves and brings this potential to life.
At the age of 30, Katie tore her rotator cuff while working out, it required surgery and a long recovery.  Her weight, digestion and hormones became out of control.  Her digestion became strained and PMS turned unbearable.  Though she applied all that she had learned about food and exercise, the weight wouldn’t budge, and constipation was the new norm.    She sought out help from a Health coach to help restore her health and get her life back.  This experience challenged and changed everything she thought she knew about food, health, macronutrients, healing, the cause of disease, weight loss, digestion, and even exercise.  Her health coach challenged all of it and her mainstream information.  The approach directed her attention beyond her symptoms to find the root cause of her health problems.    This approach to healing became her new journey and the focus of her career.

Her personal experience and success became her new mission… to help others who were struggling with misinformation and lack of support. Most people have the desire to get better, but they lack a roadmap that is specific to them.  Having a coach to guide them makes all the difference. She believes that encouragement, correct information and accountability is the key to changing habits, changing them for good and creating a new level of health and vitality.

For the past 8 years, Katie has had her own thriving practice, working mostly with women in their 40’s-60’s.  The majority originally started with Katie to help with stubborn weight loss.  What evolved through this root cause approach to health restoration was that her clients not only changed their physique, but they also got rid of diseases and medications for conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety, depression, digestive issues, migraines, fibromyalgia, joint pain, and etc.

While having her own practice was wonderful and very rewarding. She wanted to take her career to the next level and work with a team of dedicated healthcare professionals. This would permit her to continue to fulfill the vital role of a coach but with the added benefit of working in collaboration with functional medicine doctors and other health professionals that share the same values and philosophy. After searching for quite some time, she discovered an instant connection to Naperville Integrated Wellness. She did not want to work with just any office that was offering functional medicine, she wanted to work with the best in the Chicagoland area.  After meeting the team at NIW, she knew this was where she wanted to be and that these were the kind of people she wanted to work with. Working with Dr. Sexton and the rest of the team has been a wonderful experience.
