Katharine Stein ’23 
Katharine Stein ’23 is a proud URI alumna and current employee at the URI Foundation & Alumni Engagement. Katharine is an advocate for mental health, holistic health practices, and mindfulness. Immediately following her high school graduation she studied to become a certified Reiki master right as the world was coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic and mental health was at the forefront of many people’s minds.
Being able to provide Reiki and meditation services during this time was one of the most gratifying and eye-opening experiences of her life. Whether it be acupuncture, float pods, or cupping, you would be hard pressed to find a method of holistic health that she hasn’t tried! When she isn’t working, she practices self-care through writing, and one of her favorite places to be is by the ocean.
