KATE KAYES
She’s like the light that sparkles on a sun-kissed lake—pure, radiant, golden. Kate Kayes is a rare jewel who has taken life by the helm and has grown confidence with every turn of life’s path. Kate grew up racing boats and bonded with her dad through the sport. Along with her husband and four children, Kate continues the tradition of getting her family out into nature to enjoy water sports, four-wheeling, dirt biking, snowboarding, and snowmobiling. While she enjoys the adrenaline, she also enjoys downtime. Kate employs yoga, meditation, and Reiki healing into her life to promote mental and physical well-being—a practice that helped heal her body, mind, and soul from an illness due to implants and trauma.
This French Canadian babe has some Irish and English blood, which helps account for her stunning good looks. But she hasn’t always had this much confidence. “As a child, I had dreams of becoming a model,” she tells us. “I loved trying on my mom’s dresses and high heels. To me, they were merely dreams. Little did I know they would become a reality in my 30s…. I also gained a lot of confidence during my shoot with Dave Laus. I had booked with Dave for a branding shoot [for Reiki & Wellness Co.] and ended up joining the ‘Canada’s Hottest Women’ contest. That shoot changed my life.” Kate joined the Maxim Cover Girl Competition to show her children to go after their dreams no matter how big they are. She also did it to empower women, spread love, and share the message that all women are beautiful… at every stage of their life. Kate has some additional advice for readers, “You know that thing you’ve always wanted to do? You should go do it.” Check her out on Instagram @katekayes_.
