Katie was born and raised in New Orleans, LA, but has lived in Kentucky, Oregon, Oklahoma, and Texas. She practiced yoga on and off for several years until she discovered the amazing Baptiste yoga community in Louisville, KY. The practice sparked a deep appreciation for the physical and mental benefits of yoga that she wanted to explore. Katie studied under Laura Spalding at Yoga East in Louisville and received her 200-hour teacher certification in January 2020.

She discovered Small World Yoga after moving to Nashville in late 2019. Katie was drawn to their mission of making yoga accessible to all communities. She works full time for Mars Petcare and enjoys the Nashville food scene, traveling, and spending time outdoors with her dog, Gumbo.
