Certified Yoga Therapist
A native Louisianan, Katherine has been a student of yoga since 2006 but after a life-changing experience in Madagascar as a Peace Corps Volunteer, Katherine started pursuing yogic studies in a deeper context.
Katherine spent four years teaching hatha and perinatal yoga as a 500 Hour RYT in studios and underserved community spaces around New Orleans. Katherine was then given the opportunity to construct a yoga-centric wellness department with Longbranch Healthcare, a dual diagnosis and holistic treatment organization on the Northshore. She now oversees a team of Wellness practitioners that provide yoga therapy and other healing modalities to over 100+ patients on a daily basis. Katherine completed the three year yoga therapy training in the Krishnamacharya lineage with the Optimal State of Living program in 2022. She is currently a C-IAYT Yoga Therapist, a Wellness Director, and a Yoga Nidra Trainee.
By incorporating her love for nature and civic engagement into her work with others, Katherine hopes to aid in each of her Clients’ cultivation of inner-safety and self-trust. She is in constant gratitude to her Mentors – her daughter, Amy Wheeler, Becky Deano, and Geoffrey Roniger. Music, friendship, Mardi Gras, and tree frogs bring her deep joy.
