Katy moved down to the Florida Keys in the spring of 2003 to work at The Dolphin Connection where she became a senior trainer. She was a part of a staff that educated and inspired guests about the ocean world through interaction with Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins.

From Training to Massage... After watching a friend's dog recover from surgery, Katy was inspired toward another avenue of helping animals. As a graduate of Rocky Mountain School of Animal Acupressure Massage, Katy became a Certified Equine and Canine Acupressure Massage Practitioner.
