She is a native of Green Bay, and graduated from the University of Wisconsin Green Bay with a B.A. in Graphic Communications and Visual Arts. She received her first Yoga Teacher Certification from the White Lotus Center in Santa Barbara, California in 1993. Kathleen has studied with senior teachers from many different schools of yoga. As a result, her teaching style is a blend of fluid movement of postures known as vinyasa, with the attention given to alignment of the Iyengar school.

Kathleen puts high emphasis on her status as a student of yoga and teacher apprentice to her teachers, Ranjani Cobo, Tracey Rich, Ganga White and Junpo Denis Kelly. She travels to workshops throughout the year to seek out her current teachers and experience the wealth of knowledge from new ones. Kathleen continues to grow along the path of yoga and in her role as a teacher of this expansive art form. Her passion for the yoga practice is reflected in her warm and friendly teaching style, along with her ability to inspire her students. Kathleen blends the broader teachings of yoga into her asana classes. The power of the human mind and its ability to heal and enhance the body and heart are major themes in her teachings. Kathleen's knowledge of alignment and its application to yoga postures allow her to adapt the practice of yoga to any body type regardless of age or physical health.

Kathleen completed a three year grant program sponsored by the 3M Corporation through St. Norbert's College in De Pere, which studied the affects of yoga on mentally and physically challenged teens. She currently teaches yoga classes at her studio in Green Bay, at area businesses in her community, and to grade school children through the 21st Century Grant Program in Green Bay. Kathleen also teaches yoga/meditation workshops nationally with her teacher Junpo Denis Kelly.
