PC Wellness Retreats

Katherine was born in Buffalo, NY and graduated from Niagara University with a BA in psychology in 1994. Her interest in helping others led her into the health and fitness industry when she realized that people suffering from addiction, psychological, and social disorders could greatly benefit from regular exercise and proper nutrition. Wanting to take a more proactive approach to helping people, she began her fitness and nutrition studies in 1996, earning certifications from NASM, AFAA, and JGSI (Spinning).  Katherine worked as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor in Buffalo for several years, which eventually led her to the discovery of Yoga. Katherine's first Yoga Teacher Training was with Sivananda in 1999. Since then she has studied with renowned teachers such as Donna Farhi, Judith Hanson Lasater, Ganga White, Gary Kraftsow, Stephanie Adams, Beth Shaw, SarahJoy, Bernie Clark, Gloria Latham, and Janet Stone. She is a 500 RYT-E and continuing education provider (YACEP) with Yoga Alliance. Katherine is also a Licensed Massage Therapist and spends most her time helping others, on her mat, or hiking with her four dogs in her hometown Skagway, Alaska.
