Katherine Elizabeth Rae was born in Frankfurt, Germany, but was raised mostly on the East Side of San Jose, CA. Extended stays in Santa Cruz and Hawaii sent her running towards the electric hum of San Francisco, where she now resides in a "cozy" apartment in the Western Addition with her wickedly talented daughter Talia Lehua, and another radical mama/monkey duo. Katherine can't help but smile every day that she reads the Yoga Journal placard on the wall next to the front door of the office where she works full-time as Sales Assistant in the Advertising Dept., even and especially on those mornings when her aforementioned little princess refuses to get out of bed for school, and then her bus swipes the fender off of a garbage truck. A certified yoga teacher, Katherine is still searching for that studio that only needs her to teach one sweet Sunday morning class a week.
