Movement has always been a part of Kathleen’s life, including dance, sports, martial arts and yoga. Though she practiced Hatha yoga on and off for decades, Kathleen found her home in yoga in 2010 after taking a vinyasa class. The matching of asana and breath in a flow of movement made a deep connection. Kathleen found that her time on her mat, translated into more balance, and peace in every other part of her life.

Kathleen attended Level One with Baron Baptiste in early 2013 to explore her own practice deeper, and by early fall signed up for teacher training. Kathleen received her RYT-200 certificate in 2013 through Shakti Vinyasa Yoga, with Lisa Black. She has continued her education through workshops with master teachers including Jason Crandall, and Rolf Gates.

In 2019, Kathleen created Ebb and Flow Retreats, and is focused on providing small group wellness retreats on the shores of Eld Inlet in Olympia, WA. Retreats are designed for participants to connect, reflect and restore.

Growing up on the beaches of southern California, Kathleen has called the pacific northwest home for the last 30 years. She and her husband Scott raised their three now adult children in Issaquah. When not at her corporate job, Kathleen enjoys dancing, live music, travel, hiking, gardening, spending time on the water and with her pup Gemma.
