Catharine Rykowski

Catharine was raised in London, but her family always summered on Martha’s Vineyard. So which place felt most like home? “The Island, of course! I’ve been coming here my whole life.”

Happily, these days Catharine lives up-Island full time. “We love it here,” she says. And that love inspired a major career change. Formerly a sought-after pediatric physical therapist, today Catharine helps Donnelly + Co. clients find their own version of Island bliss. Here, for clients from all over—Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, the UK—Catharine’s insider knowledge makes all the difference.

No surprise: Catharine is exceptionally plugged-in to her community. When she’s not working, she’s engaged with her three young sons’ activities in hockey, music and the arts. She also volunteers with local organizations, including The Chilmark Preschool and Elementary School.
