KATE KAYES

She's like the light that sparkles on a sun-kissed lake—pure, radiant, golden. Kate Kayes is a rare jewel who has taken life by the helm and has grown confidence with every turn of life’s path. Kate grew up racing boats and bonded with her dad through the sport. Along with her husband and four children, Kate continues the tradition of getting her family out into nature to enjoy water sports, four-wheeling, dirt biking, snowboarding, and snowmobiling. While she enjoys the adrenaline, she also enjoys downtime. Kate employs yoga, meditation, and Reiki healing into her life to promote mental and physical well-being—a practice that helped heal her body, mind, and soul from an illness due to implants and trauma.
