Katelyn Rawlyk

My name is Kate Rawlyk and I have spent the last decade dedicated to learning, growing, and practicing what brings me the most joy in life. 

Moving my body meaningfully, cooking delicious and nourishing food, playing and writing music, spending time with friends and family, and experiencing the outdoors through camping, hiking, and global travel are the things which drive my passion and make me excited to wake up each day. 

I have spent my whole life trying new activities to see what resonates with my body, keeping it active, engaged, healthy, and energized. For over a decade I have practiced yoga, ran, hiked, swam, paddle boarded, kayaked and trained with both weights and body weight. I have experimented with aerial silks, kick boxing, cycling, ballet barre, Pilates, dance, soccer, base ball, volleyball, Zumba, and Strong by Zumba. 

For the past 10 years I have also been building my skills as a musician, teaching myself acoustic guitar, taking vocal lessons, playing open mic nights, and writing my own original music. Within the last year I have signed with a record label in my community where I am now playing paid shows, have professional photos, and am currently recording my first studio album with my first single being released on June 14, 2024 under the stage name Micky Oaks.

Food has been a staple of my passion for my whole life, I learned to cook, create, and curate in the kitchen experimenting with my own original recipes. My corporate job involves developing food products for a private label brand where I create market strategy, taste test, assess pricing and promotions, and communicate with hundreds of vendors, internal stakeholders, and supply chains. I created my own website for my recipe creation and Instagram page and following under Kateskitchenonline.com. I continue to play around with food and get creative in making healthy food taste good, while minimizing food waste.

I have an incredible group of friends and family and a partner who I am so grateful to share my life and adventures with. When I was 19 I backpacked through Europe and lived abroad for 4 months in Denmark, visiting Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Italy, and Croatia. I have backpacked through South East Asia including: Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. I I have toured Peru and hiked Machu Picchu, visiting Colombia, Mexico, Cuba, and Hawaii. I have lived in a van and travelled through Iceland and New Zealand. In 2022 I backpacked the West Coast Trail on Vancouver Island in Canada, and for the last four summers I have hiked and camped all throughout British Colombia. 

This opportunity speaks to everything I love about life: inspiring others and guiding them through movement to help them life a happy and healthy life while combining travel and experiencing new places, people, food, and culture.
