I'm Katie and I'm happy you're here. I was first introduced to yoga by my grandmother. I practice to not only feel my best, but also to stay connected to a creative and inspired life.

I hold a BFA in design and drawing from the University of Iowa and worked as a creative director in the advertising industry before becoming a full time yoga teacher.

In 2014, I co-founded Unfold, a corporate wellness company, with a desire to help busy office workers, like myself, improve their wellbeing.

My work in the corporate space has lead me to specialize in chronic back pain and stress management practices such as restorative yoga, yoga nidra, and mindfulness meditation. Rest is productive. Busy people need it more than ever and I love helping make space for it.

I also adore supporting expectant women throughout their journey to motherhood (and beyond!). Having navigated almost 10 years of fertility treatments to start my own family, I deeply empathize with how challenging this process can be. Simply put, yoga helps.

I received my 200 hour yoga certification through yogaview in 2009, my 85-hour prenatal yoga certification (ERPYT) through Bloom in 2013, my 500-hour yoga certification (500 ERYT) through Tejas in 2018, and I'm a certified mindfulness meditation instructor through Yoga International. I lead teacher trainings and workshops at my local studios and I'm grateful be a part of Chicago's vibrant yoga community.
