About Us

YOUvitalize Team

Shar Dukart is an enthusiastic entrepreneur with a passion for overall wellness and all things spa. She also thrives on planning events such as showers, spa parties and weddings. Shar spent five years dreaming about owning a wellness spa and venue, accumulating lots of ideas along the way, before it became a reality. After graduating from Napoleon High School, Shar attended RD Hairstyling and went on to become a Master Cosmetologist. A couple of years later she earned a degree in Business Management from Bismarck State College. Her many years of gymnastics experience and coaching led her to bungee. After training in Minneapolis in 2017, she became certified as the first Fly Bungee Fitness Trainer in North Dakota. She is married to Gene Dukart, owner of GD Cabinets and Construction and you will see that Gene’s beautiful craftsmanship is evident throughout the YOUvitalize facility. Gene has recently retired from construction and is now a daily part of serving YOUvitalize clients. In their spare-time, Shar & Gene enjoy camping with family and friends and spending time with their son Brian, and two grandsons, Gavin and Holden. They have dedicated YOUvitalize in remembrance of their daughter Brittany, who was a fabulous Master Cosmetologist and Nail Artist. Shar & Gene’s mission and goal for YOUvitalize is to provide a positive, fun, no judgement, community atmosphere where everyone feels welcome!

WELLNESS

Maria Kapp,

Licensed Massage Therapist

Maria started her profession as a licensed massage therapist in Maui, HI in 1998. She had built great clientele in Maui who sought her massage treatments regularly, until she became a mother in 2010, when she decided to become a full time mother to her beautiful son. Her passion as a massage therapist has never left her. When the opportunity came to revisit her passion, she took it and she is again a LMT here in Bismarck. She is very driven, dedicated and enthusiastic about learning new therapeutic techniques that she utilizes in her treatment. Inspired by a holistic approach to wellness of body & mind, one of her specialties is Hawaiian LomiLomi massage, coming from the Hawaiian language which means “to knead”. She integrates this technique with other modalities she has learned throughout her massage profession. Her commitment to her clients are tailored to their specific needs, addressing areas that need specific attention.
