She worked seasonally from 2014-2017, spending time in Alaska, Southwest Colorado, Texas and Florida. After landing in Florida, she was inspired by her mother (who is also a licensed massage therapist) to study massage. She graduated from Sarasota School of Massage Therapy in 2018 and is currently studying to become an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach so she can offer more support to her clients. Katie enjoys studying and believes there is always more to learn. She enjoys taking her dog on adventures, cooking at home and spending time in the mountains.
