ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Hi, I'm Kaitlyn. I'm an integrative wellness leader, an herbalist, intuitive and Reiki Master. I'm the founder of Rose & Ritual Apothecary and Wellness Academy, which trains reiki practitioners, and RitualHaus which offers creative services for others in wellness, home & living, and travel & leisure.
My aim is to offer integrative wellness -- emotional, mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing -- to the communities who need it most, by offering herbal preparations, spiritual tools and reiki healing at low-to-no cost to underserved communities. I want to support other healers and practitioners in applying integrative wellness to their communities in impactful ways! I'm interested in decolonizing wellness, bridging the gap between alternative healing modalities and the black community. Rose & Ritual Apothecary and Wellness Academy trainings will honor the lineages of where many wellness practices come from, learn the science behind each modality, and have the uncomfortable conversations around the colonization of health and wellness.
My background is in marketing and communications, having worked in industries like: luxury travel, energy, market research, nonprofit, and affiliate marketing. I graduated with a B.S. in Advertising & Promotional Communications and a M.A., Urban Studies in Community Development. My mission is to support my community with integrative wellness practices and holistic modalities, implementing low-cost offerings and programs to help close the wellness accessibility gap.
