Welcome to the
Pacific Northwest
I'm Katie Manz
Washington State born
photographer, writer, & musician,
wilderness-focused medic & guide.
Trip Planning
As a local expert and conservationist, at home in the mountains and waves here, I can plan a perfect Pacific Northwest trip.
I've worked in each of the three Washington national parks, and otherwise lived around the region.
The National Park Service pays me to plan trips for people.
But, I have so much more knowledge to give, so now I'm available 24/7 to help with your trip planning needs.
Trip options here vary by the season, depending on what you're hoping to experience.
There are islands here where, all at once, you can observe whales, eagles, seals and fox.
On any given day, I'm alongside a glacier with the marmots, finding wild horses during a desert wildflower superbloom, or surfing with the seals in sandy coves.
I'm a tour agent, backpacking guide, medic, photographer, and even an ordained minister.
Let's plan the trip of a lifetime.
Photography
I studied film development, portraiture, photojournalism, and visual communication.
My work has been seen on display at the Mount Baker Film Festival, Benaroya Hall for the Washington National Park Fund, on the North Cascades Institute blog, and on social media for all three Washington National Parks.
I'm also a contract photographer for GameFace Media, shooting races and charity sporting events.
All my photos are available for purchase.
Contact me to discuss pricing.
I believe in a holistic approach to healing and wellness.
Incorporating the physical body through movement, breathing and healthy eating, and the nonphysical body through therapy, cognitive reconditioning, and meditation, I'll help you achieve your wellness goals.
Heal your body, heal your mind, heal your community, heal the world.
