In her younger days, Katherine was a professional ballet dancer. Beginning as a scholarship student at NYC Ballet's school, she went on to join the Fort Worth Ballet Company.

 

Katherine was born into a family of writers and journalists. She attended University achieving her AA (in General Studies), her BA (in World Religions) and her MA (also in World Religions focusing on Eastern Traditions from a Historical perspective, with a minor in Ethics at Florida State University). She then went on to complete her second MA in Humanities (where she focused primarily on Women's Studies) from the University of West Florida.

 

 After graduating, she spent a few years teaching at both Florida State University and Pensacola Junior college. During her years as a teacher, she found it interesting and revealing that most kids coming out of high school could barely manage to put a paragraph together. Katherine is now a full time writer, and also spends time managing her newly launched website.

 

She is a Yoga practitioner in the Himalayan tradition and has studied under the influence of yoga master, Swami Rama for over two decades. She has also benefited from the teachings of Ram Dass, since the early age of 17. Brought up as a child in the Anglican faith, she could happily reconcile the different approaches of these two spiritual traditions.

 

Blessed with a happy marriage, Katherine enjoys life with her husband close to nature amidst beautiful mountains and her lovely pets: a standard black poodle Susie and Rhiannon, a lovely black cat who also happens to be the family comedian. She is an avid reader and a gluten-free vegan for over two years now, and also loves traveling with her husband.
