Who we are

The Third was born from a simple belief: in a world that’s become increasingly virtual, people are craving real connection again. After years of isolation, digital everything, and the rise of AI, we saw a growing hunger for spaces that feel grounding, human, and shared. That’s where the idea of “third spaces” inspired us—those places outside of home and work where community naturally forms.

The Third grew out of our shared love for the wellness space and our desire to make it feel more accessible. We design retreats that are inviting, down-to-earth, and intentionally crafted—places where you can breathe a little deeper, reconnect with yourself, and share space with women who are on a similar path. Our approach is elevated but never exclusive, offering meaningful experiences without the elite attitude or price tag.

At the core, we created The Third to bring people together. We wanted a space where women could feel held, inspired, and part of a genuine community—not another polished, perfect, out-of-reach wellness moment. Just real connection, thoughtful guidance, and the chance to walk away feeling reset, supported, and more aligned than when you arrived.

Meet Taylor and Katie

  • Katie Deter

    For years, I did everything I thought I was “supposed” to do—climbing the corporate ladder, girl-bossing my way through long days, and chasing success that never really felt fulfilling. Eventually, the burnout hit hard. After navigating two layoffs, an unsteady job market, and the rollercoaster of risky startups, I realized it was time to choose a different path—one that actually aligned with my passions and my purpose.

    Creating The Third became that path. I wanted to build something meaningful, something that brought people together and made an impact beyond a job title. There’s a deep sense of fulfillment in knowing that the work I’m doing supports a community and offers women the space to breathe, reset, and reconnect.

    I am a practicing sound therapist, endlessly fascinated by the power of music and vibration to support mental and emotional well-being. As someone who has navigated depression, anxiety, and ADHD, sound healing has been a grounding force in my own life. It’s become a personal mission to share that knowledge—and the sense of calm and clarity it brings—with others.

    At The Third, I get to blend my lived experiences, my love for wellness, and my desire to help people feel more connected. And that, finally, feels like true purpose.

    I’ve always been interested in what makes a body tick. As a lifelong movement lover and wellness experimenter, I’ve tried everything from the heavy-hitting world of weightlifting and CrossFit to the quiet intentionality of yoga and Classical Pilates. But along the way, I discovered that happiness is more about the the people you choose to surround yourself with than it is about anything else.

    The Third was born from a desire to create a home for that exact intersection: movement, wellness, and genuine community. I’m endlessly dedicated to learning how we can move well and feel better—not just in the studio, but in our lives. My toolkit is a bit of a mixed bag; I’m just as likely to talk to you about your thoracic alignment as I am about your astrology chart or the latest in Human Design.

    I believe that "coming home" to yourself is the ultimate goal, and I’m so grateful to share this journey with you. Whether we’re decoding your posture or just sharing a laugh between sets, I can’t wait to see you at The Third.
