15 FASCINATING FACES OF 2023 | Dr. Kalli Prater

Local Chiropractor Puts Health First for the Community

ST. CHARLES–Dr. Kalli is described as kind, compassionate and knowledgeable; so much so that most say she is a true health detective, and can find the root of any problem where traditional MDs have overlooked.

She chose to pursue becoming a Chiropractic physician, specializing in Functional Medicine, following her interest in non-invasive, natural approaches to health care after watching her diabetic grandfather suffer due to poor diet and lifestyle choices. Most people don't know that Dr. Kallie's understudies were in Sports Medicine and Athletics and she dreamed of being a Chiropractor for the NFL and had a wonderful experience working with a Football team; however, changed her career path after a professor’s lecture on holistic gynecology. Now because of her knowledge and skills, Sage Healing Collective has won Best Women's Health Clinic every year since 2020.

Ensuring her own health is a priority, Dr. Kallie decompresses by listening to books and podcasts, spending time in the gym, doing holistic health treatments for her own PTSD, and loves all things arts and crafts. She also supports local non-profit animal rescue organizations.

Always expanding her clinical knowledge and skill set, she hopes to obtain certifications in acupuncture, and further her practice in Thai Abdominal work training and other traditional healing techniques.
