I am Katie. I am a mom, wife, business owner and partner and hold many other titles. Can you relate? I am a massage therapist with almost 30yrs experience. I am a certified yoga instructor as well. I started Rapha Vitality because I believe that wellness is the key to a happy and healthy life. I want to create space for you to get away and reconnect to your purpose, yourself, others and nature.
We offer a variety of women's wellness retreats that include yoga classes, time in nature for adventure and reflection. Of course, we like to have fun, eat good food and maybe drink a little wine. We will always offer massage and bodywork as well.
For nearly 30 years, I’ve supported clients through hands-on, therapeutic bodywork rooted in deep tissue, trigger point, and corrective techniques. My work is grounded in helping people find real, lasting relief—from chronic pain and postural imbalances to everyday stress and tension.
Each session is tailored to your unique needs, with a focus on getting to the root of what’s causing discomfort so your body can move and function with more ease. My approach is intuitive, informed, and deeply intentional—aimed not just at treating symptoms, but at supporting your long-term healing and well-being.
As a budding yoga instructor, I’ve fallen in love with the power of alignment-based yoga—how just a small shift in posture can create big shifts in how we feel, move, and live. My teaching is rooted in slowing down, tuning in, and helping my students reconnect to their bodies with compassion and curiosity.
Whether you're new to yoga or simply craving a more grounded, intentional approach, I create space for you to move mindfully, breathe deeply, and feel fully supported—on and off the mat.
