Hey, I’m Kate. At 24, my world was turned upside down when my father unexpectedly passed away. His death became the catalyst for a profound and transformative journey—one that led me to confront my own grief and explore the healing potential of yoga and holistic therapies. It was through these practices that I found the courage to face my pain head-on, and in doing so, uncovered deeper layers of trauma I hadn’t realized were holding me back.

My path toward inner transformation began with yoga. I started as a student and eventually traveled to Rishikesh, India, to train as a teacher. There, I truly fell in love with the power of yoga. However, a few years later, after an injury that required hip surgery, I was forced to pause my practice and teaching. That period of stillness became a turning point, as it made me realize there was another path—a deeper way of healing and reconnecting with oneself.

Driven by a desire to help others on their own journeys, I began to explore Kinesiology, Reiki, plant medicine, and Somatic Therapy. By blending these modalities, I discovered a powerful and holistic approach to healing—one that allows for deep, lasting transformation.

Today, I’m here to guide you through your own journey of self-discovery, healing, and reconnection. It’s an honor to share these practices with you and support you on your path.
