Team
With a passion for natural healing and healthy living, co-owners, Cathryn Aiken, L.Ac. and Dr. Troy Smith, D.C. joined forces in 2010 and opened Arroyo Grande Health and Wellness. In 2017, Dr. Troy made the transition to his own practice and renamed the business Pismo Beach Family Wellness. In addition to chiropractic care, the center also offers various forms of massage, among other things. Here’s a little bit more about the staff.

Katie Baldwin

C.M.P.


Katie Baldwin offers Massage and Craniosacral Therapy, as well as in-home massage. Many of you may already know her and her work with Dr. Smith at AG Health & Wellness, helping to relax tight muscles before his wonderful adjustments! She was inspired to follow her dreams of becoming a Massage Therapist by the intervention of the Universe. She felt complete in many aspects of her life except in work. She loved her job but never felt like she was following her own path.

She had an inner calling, and the opportunity arise to take action. She feels so much gratitude to be able to do what she feels she was meant to do. When she’s not doing Massage and CranioSacral Therapy, she loves life here on the Central Coast with her wonderful husband and 14-year-old daughter. She loves to garden, run on the beach, practice Tai Chi and enjoys time with her family in many different outdoor activities. She also has a passion for learning, studying and taking classes to increase her knowledge and skill. To learn more, or to book an appointment, visit my website.
