Welcome, friend.
I’m Kate (pronouns she/ they);
an intuitive, medicine woman, ceremonialist, story weaver, and soul-reviver;
and I care with every fiber of my being that you, a creature of soul and soil, are trying to thrive in systems not designed for you.
Where personal and collective wounds of disconnect from ancestral land, kinship, lineages, and cultures; and misalignments with our over-culture leave you feeling out of place, too much, or like a canary in the mine, I see invitations back deeper into your own aliveness; vital next steps to a wiser, more relational future.
Let’s navigate life’s initiations and your big questions and transitions, together.
I’ll support you living meaningfully in this world even though you may feel like you were designed for a different one.
I’ll keep you orienting to the truth, heart, and essential wholeness of who you are at the edge of great joy and when you need your feet held to the fire of your own journey.
Through the last 10+ years, I’ve spent thousands of hours cultivating deep Presence and training and honing my facilitation tools rooted in:
listening,
movement,
somatic and spiritual awareness practices,
and energetic healing/ coaching modalities
all to become the guide who can share what worked for me, but more importantly, support you finding your own path, developing your own instinct and intuition.
Through my offerings (1:1s, group work, rituals, retreats, writings, podcast) - I stand devoted to:
inner and outer cultures rooted in wholeness;
sacred spaces to awaken, inspire, repair, and evolve something deep within us;
and the wild, tender aliveness of our personal and collective hearts.
Welcome to our village fire.
I’m glad you’re here.
A brief overview of my trainings and experience:
Since graduating from The Power Yoga Tribe’s 200hr yoga teacher training in 2013, I’ve logged over 1,000 hours of teaching experience with yoga group classes, privates, workshops, and retreats.
In addition to my original yoga vinyasa certification, I have background and continuing education in Nidra, Restorative, Yin, Gentle Flow, Yoga Personal Training, meditation, and other techniques and approaches to energy-based healing modalities.
In November of 2017, after completing about 500hrs of training in Integrative Energetic Medicine and Coaching through WhiteWinds (Dr. Fernand Poulin)/FeatherStone (Tammy LaDrew) Institutes, I opened my private practice to clients seeking deeper heart connection, and more soulful living.
In 2019 I completed Level 1 and 2 training in the Pranashakthi Mahavidya lineage of energy healing under Guruji Sri Yogacharya Arun Kumarji and received the initial transmission to become a master healer and teacher within that lineage, although that path is not yet complete. I also embarked on the first of several rounds of Kimberly Johnson’s Jaguar programs (somatic experiencing tools for nervous system repair and rewilding), even assisting her in one of her Jaguar Foundations programs in 2022.
Since 2020, I have been answering a call deep in my bones to seek, study, and reweave ancestral rememberings from my European lineage back into my being and my personal practice. This is an ongoing exploration of song lines, myths, culture, and crafts. While this personal journey is influencing my work, I am still in the early stages of integrating it and claim no expertise or mastery.
I feel a deep gratitude for the ancient wisdom lineages that have offered me so much do my work with the deepest respect for the strength, courage, and resiliency of indigenous healers around the world who struggled (and sometimes died) to keep their varied traditions alive and moving forward.
