About Your Host

Meet Katie – Your Guide to Movement, Self-Care & Glow

✨Hi! I’m Katie, an enthusiastic and caring coach who has been immersed in the athletic world since childhood. I spent most of my life as a synchronized swimmer, training with the national team and chasing Olympic dreams. After retiring from competition, my journey naturally evolved into becoming a Yoga Teacher, and now I proudly own my own Flow & Glow Studio, where I blend movement, self-care, and skin health. With over 30 years as an aesthetician, I’ve made it my mission to help people feel amazing—inside and out. My business isn’t just about yoga or skincare; it’s about full-body wellness, giving you the tools to feel strong, confident, and radiant at every stage of life. Aerial Yoga holds a special place in my heart. Living with scoliosis, I discovered how powerful Aerial Yoga traction can be for back pain, mobility, and aging gracefully. Now, I help others experience the same relief and freedom through my weekly classes, retreats, and workshops. At the core of everything I do is this simple mantra: “If you don’t take care of you, nobody else is going to take care of you like you will.” So let’s move, stretch, glow, and take care of ourselves—because we deserve it! Join me for a class, a retreat, or a skin-transforming experience.

Let’s Flow & Glow together! ✨
