Creating a Life of Meaning

When Katie Leiding and her husband, Tony, moved to Wichita with their three-week old baby, Tony had just completed eight years as an Army Medevac pilot. They were excited to put down roots in Katie’s hometown. While she was an Army wife, Katie was a Realtor specializing in military relocation, but switched to the nonprofit industry when they moved to Wichita. “My mom, Bunny Hill, had an incredible career in education,” Katie says, “and I always loved seeing the impact she had on people. I didn’t inherit her teaching genes, so I thought I could make a difference in the nonprofit world.”

Katie loved working on a team in service to the community, but missed many aspects of real estate. She and Amelia Sumerell, one of the city’s top agents, spoke often about real estate as they built a friendship.

In the summer of 2019, Amelia shared more of the behindthe-scenes way her team operates as service providers, not salespeople. She invited Katie to join her small, elite “A-Team.” “Amelia completely reframed what a career in real estate could look like,” Katie says. “She offered me a chance to be on a service-oriented team that works together for our clients’ benefit. Everything Amelia’s team does is focused on clients and what is truly best for them. I was intrigued, and in some ways felt like my dad, Patrick Hill, had a hand in it. He had passed away just weeks before this conversation, and always told me he thought my true calling was in real estate.”

Now that she’s worked with Amelia for more than three years, Katie feels like she’s found her sweet spot in life. “Real estate the A-Team way is so fulfilling, and I love what I do. Solving complex problems, brainstorming new ways to market a home, negotiating a deal — it’s exciting and it keeps me energized. I love my clients, and I work my heart out to be worthy of the trust they put in me.”

Best of all, Katie’s heart for the community is encouraged on the Amelia Sumerell team.

Amelia says, “I love seeing the kind of impact Katie makes in the community. She seamlessly blends her vibrant real estate career with her tireless volunteerism. She provides the highest level of service to her clients, while raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for nonprofits to improve life in Wichita.”

“Tony and I feel lucky to raise our little boys, Lincoln and Jameson, in Wichita, and love the lives we’ve created here,” Katie says. “Weaving service to our clients and service to our community together fills my life with meaning. I am grateful every day that I get to do this!”

What Can You Do About Dietand Exercise-Resistant Fat?

Over and over, we hear, “I eat right and I exercise, but my fat just won’t go away.” The truth is that all of us have some fat that is resistant to diet and exercise. So, don’t beat yourself up about that last little bit of fat you can’t get rid of. CoolSculpting Elite may be the solution. Through CoolSculpting, we can target and freeze your stubborn fat. Following treatment, your body naturally eliminates the dead fat cells and flushes them out. This can result in up to 20 to 25 percent reduction of stubborn fat per treatment in the treated area. Your fat continues to melt away over several months.

What is CoolSculpting Elite?

It’s a non-invasive body contouring treatment that permanently freezes fat with little downtime and no surgery. With the new advanced Elite technology, we freeze two times the stubborn fat with dual applicators. As a result, we can treat two areas at the same time it used to take to treat one.

What areas can I treat with CoolSculpting Elite?

CoolSculpting is FDA-cleared to eliminate stubborn fat under the jawline, under the chin, the upper arms, back fat, bra fat, the flank area (love handles), abdomen, thighs, and under the buttocks (banana roll). We can pinpoint your exact trouble spots and customize your treatment plan to your body contouring goals. So not only will your clothes fit and look better, but you’ll feel better, too.

How long does a treatment take?

A CoolSculpting treatment typically takes as little as 35 to 75 minutes, depending on the area treated, with treatment sessions lasting one to three hours on average. We recommend two or more treatment sessions for most patients to help you reach your body contouring goals.

How long do results last?

Once your treated fat cells are gone, they’re gone for good. CoolSculpting is not a weight loss treatment, though. It reduces fat. Your remaining fat cells function as normal and can get bigger or smaller depending on your weight loss or weight gain.

Am I a candidate?

The best candidates are active and eat healthily, but they still have stubborn areas of fat that won’t go away. If you’re ready to learn how CoolSculpting can target your trouble spots, your first step is a consultation at our office. Our CoolSculpting providers at PSC Aesthetics will develop a plan to fit your goals.

Real Patients. Real Results.

Our CoolSculpting patient feels much more confident after her treatments.

Tell us about your journey to the CoolSculpting treatment.

PSC patient: I am a skincare patient and heard about the treatment. I thought it would be good for my problem areas, so I tried it out. I have had several treatments on my tummy and arms, and one on my inner thighs.

Tell us about the procedure.

PSC patient: The treatment is pretty easy. There is a little pinch when it starts, and then it gets really cold. After that, the area becomes numb. During the treatment, I usually relax, sleep, or look at my phone.

How did you feel after the treatment?

PSC patient: I usually feel sore and tender after my treatments. Each area is a little different, though. I also experienced some itching about a week after my inner thigh treatment. I wore compression garments, and that made it better.

When did you notice your results?

PSC patient: You feel tighter right away and know something is happening. A month to six weeks later, I really started to see results. My waistband isn’t as snug now, and nothing is hanging over it. I know my results will continue to improve.

Do you feel different now?

PSC patient: I am definitely more self-assured. I feel better, and it’s a confidence builder. I do CoolSculpting for myself.

Are you happy with your results?

PSC patient: I am very happy and would do it again. It’s a boost for me. It’s a great treatment as you get older and have stubborn fat.

Do you have advice for people considering CoolSculpting Elite?

PSC patient: Do your research. Like anything, there can be side effects. Find someone who has been doing CoolSculpting for a while, is knowledgeable and whom you trust. You want someone to tell you if it’s for you honestly.
