My healthcare love affair started in high school, where you would find me most weekends and some week nights shadowing Doctors in the ER & volunteering in the Telemetry Unit.

I got my degree in Biology, spending summers interning with a General Surgeon who performed colonoscopies, colectomies, and more. This is where I learned & became comfortable asking strangers many questions about their stool.

After graduation, I helped open a Nuclear Pharmacy- where I became a Pharmacy Technician & Radiation Safety Specialist.

After years of selling medical equipment, as the Director of Sales for the West coast, I left corporate, started surfing & became a Certified Yoga Instructor in Bali. After being diagnosed with a parasitic infection in 2018, I became a Certified Holistic Nutrition Consultant.

During my travels, which began in 2014, I can’t take my Director of Sales hat off. I think it goes back to me selling my Mom’s needlepoint at trade shows, when I was 11. But I see small and medium size businesses, I understand their pain points, I see what differentiates them in the market, and automatically have AT LEAST 5 ideas for new products, marketing, collaborations, and/or events.

So from Activewear brands in Bali, to skincare in Costa Rica or Beverly Hills, hotels to restaurants around the globe- I love Consulting.

After 13 years chasing waves & clients across Bali, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Chile & Nicaragua, I came home to Phoenix- where I was born & raised- to restore an old mid-century house & build what's next. These days I split my time between my wellness practice- helping entrepreneurs get their gut (and their business) working again- and consulting with brands who know they've got something special but can't quite name it.

I also host The Kate Curtis Show, where I get into health, travel, food & the occasional uncomfortable truth. If I had to sum up the whole brand, it's Gwyneth Paltrow meets Anthony Bourdain- refined & honest, well-traveled, and not remotely interested in behaving. My motto says the rest: no reason to be good if you can't be bad.

When I'm not working, I'm in the water, at a table with too many dishes ordered, or on a dance floor somewhere. Surf, food, travel & movement are my non-negotiables- and usually where my best ideas start.
