Katie, Co-Founder + Wellness Expert

Katie Connolly believes in addressing wellness from a holistic perspective: socio-emotionally, intellectually, physically, and energetically. Thoughts affect our emotions, which affects our bodies, our actions, and our lives.

Katie was taught meditation and breathwork as a child, which in turn inspired her life's work. At eighteen she had the vision to create a space where families and people of all ages could connect through the arts, movement, spirituality, and wellness. This eventually led to owning and operating Studio 202 (until March 2020), and subsequently, being invited to lead a not-for-profit through a period of dramatic change in the role of Executive Director. Prior to Studio 202, Katie pursued a career in finance, operations, and learning and development. Katie has since re-branded her offerings to gloWithin - offering somatic and counselling support for families. Her aim and passion is to inspire and bring greater balance, peace and joy to one's life and work.

Katie's qualifications include a Masters in Counselling (Candidate), a Bachelor of Business with a focus on International and Change Management, and a Certificate in Workplace Learning. She is a Craniosacral Practitioner, Expert Registered Yoga Teacher (ERYT-500), a Registered Children's Yoga Teacher (RCYT), Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT), Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP), founded a Registered Children's Yoga School (RCYS) in which she teaches educators, therapists, parents and others to empower children and youth. She is also a Mom’s Choice Awards® Gold Recipient, and has been recognized for her leadership over the years.

Katie is passionate about learning, travel, creative endeavours, and immersing herself in nature while skiing, swimming, running, and climbing. She is a mom to two, and love spending time with family and friends.
