Welcome! I’m Katie, and I believe peace, clarity, and calm are already within us. Sometimes we simply need a little support in finding our way back. I'm a licensed psychotherapist, somatic practitioner, and mindfulness meditation teacher with two decades of experience supporting people through anxiety, stress & burnout, grief, complex trauma, chronic pain, sleep difficulties, and the broader complexities of being human. My work weaves together contemplative practice that meets the nervous system, drawing on mindfulness, movement, Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and compassionate self-inquiry. I host two monthly live practices, Pause for Presence and Somatic Sangha, and offer courses including The Body Is the Way, The Chronic Pain Club, and The Return, with the occasional pop-up class. I've also been a featured contributor to the Insight Timer Therapist Hub. If you're here, I hope you find something that helps you exhale a little more fully, feel more at home in your body, and perhaps discover a fresh perspective and deeper sense of freedom from within. You're always warmly welcome here, and I'd be honored to fly tandem as we learn to trust the currents that carry us.

Lovely explanation and guidance. I appreciated the allowance of moving slowly and becoming aware of body signals as they arise. Uplifting and encouraging! Thank you.

You asked, what does it feel like when we feel our senses? For me, I feel fluid, body and spirit. When I haven’t been feeling my feels as they happen (typically when brain is overprioritized) I eventually feel craggy or stuck. Thanks for helping me become aware of this.

The very nudge I needed to get back into continuing to explore the “felt experience” of my body through your course on somatic experience. Thank you so much. 🙏🏼🌸🕊️

That was just what I needed. I’m dealing with a lot of headaches and this gentle practice allows me to be in my body more and not fight what is at this moment. Your voice was soothing and supportive. Thank you! 💕
