After Hours Wellness Talks at the Jewelry Studio is a local event series hosted by jewelry designer and functional health practitioner Katie Poterala, FDN-P — created for women who are curious about what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Over the years, my work has evolved across two disciplines: designing meaningful, deeply personal jewels people wear every day — and helping women better understand the deeper patterns behind fatigue, chronic stress, hormone shifts, gut issues, mold illness, and the frustrating symptoms that often get dismissed when everything looks “normal” on paper.

These talks bring those two worlds together in one thoughtful, beautiful space.

Each one is designed to make complex wellness topics feel more approachable, more grounded, and more useful — with real conversation, practical education, and a little room to breathe. They're small, too: Intimate enough to ask questions and to feel heard.

Think of it as a different kind of sparkle: one rooted in clarity, resilience, and the first step in getting back to feeling like yourself again.
