Our Story
Medella Collective was born from a simple but powerful vision: that every person deserves care that treats them as whole - not just a diagnosis or a symptom. Dr. Sarah King - owner and physical therapist with a heart for service, founded Medella with a desire to restore hope, movement, and confidence in a way that feels personal and purposeful.
For more than five years, Sarah has loved serving the Weatherford community through Medella Physical Therapy. Her commitment has always been to provide care that is personal, kind, efficient, and considerate of the whole person.
Sarah’s journey has also shaped Medella’s growth. During her husband’s battle with brain cancer, she became his fiercest advocate, curating a team of providers to give him the best quality of life possible. Those conversations planted the seed of what Medella could one day become - a collaborative space where wellness is supported from every angle. After his passing, Sarah spent months reflecting, praying, and envisioning what this next chapter could mean for herself, her daughter, and her community.
From that season of loss and hope, Medella Collective was born: a place where wellness is approached with skill, compassion, and faith. Each body is unique, and so is each journey. Here, hands-on care meets a listening ear. We combine clinical expertise with a true commitment to helping you move better, feel better, and live the life you were created for - one visit at a time.
Our Mission
We believe every person who steps into our care is made by God, seen by Him, and worthy of gentleness and skill. Pain and fear do not have the last word. Our mission is to restore hope, movement, and joy by caring for the whole person with steady hands, listening hearts, and a spirit of service.
We make room for you, your story, and your pace. We pray for wisdom, use evidence and experience with humility, and build simple plans you can live out. Care is always one on one. Touch is purposeful. Words are honest and kind. Pricing is clear so the focus stays on you.
At Medella Collective, physical therapy and urgent care are tools in a larger calling. The point is the person in front of us, your life, your family, your calling. We measure progress by the things that matter in real life, lifting your child without pain, walking into work without fear, resting through the night.

Catherine Johnson
Assistant • Patient Experience & Operations
Often the first friendly voice you’ll hear, Catherine makes every step - from first call to every visit - feel easy and welcoming. She handles calls, scheduling, billing questions, and new-patient onboarding, and she’s great at translating “insurance speak” into clear next steps for our self-pay model (including superbills and reimbursement tips).
With a background in healthcare administration and patient advocacy, Catherine loves helping people feel seen, heard, and prepared for care. Her favorite part of the job is celebrating patient wins - felling better, gaining strength, healing, getting back to the gym - and cheering you on between visits.
Outside the clinic, she’s a Texas-based urban farmer who gardens, gathers eggs, and spoils her dogs. She’s a proud mom of four - and a brand-new grandmother.
