How It All Began...
Katie & Reynard met on a New York City subway. Katie was lost and asked Reynard for directions.
After just two dates, they fell in love & Reynard moved to Canada. They soon married, welcomed their daughter, and combined their shared passions for health & business to create Vitality Promotions.
They each run their own private practices, Katie in Nutrition & Reiki and Reynard in Personal Training, while working together on Vitality Promotions, a healthy brand demo agency helping health-focused brands connect with consumers & succeed at retail!

She later earned a full scholarship to Western University, where she studied Psychology and worked in restaurants throughout.
In 2011, she began working in in-store product demonstrations with agencies including Mosaic and Thinkbox Marketing, beginning a career with over 15 years of experience in sales & marketing.
