Hello, I'm Katie, a mindfulness meditation teacher and licensed therapist with specialized training in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and mindfulness-based approaches. For nearly 20 years, I've supported people through anxiety, trauma, burnout, health challenges, and the many complexities of being human. Through years of practice and a great deal of learning and unlearning, I've come to trust something: what we’re looking for is already within us all. A quiet inner steadiness that doesn't need to be built or forced, only remembered. My approach is invitational, no forcing, fixing, or bypassing. It weaves mindfulness, safe somatic practice, nervous system awareness, with compassionate existential inquiry. I host monthly community practices, Pause for Presence, Somatic Sangha, and offer self-paced courses on Insight Timer, including my most recent, The Body Is the Way. If this resonates, you're welcome to come exactly as you are. Wishing you ease and clarity, wherever your path takes you.

Katie, I am all gratitude to you for this course. The simplicity and clarity you bring to these somatic enquiries and experiences is superb. The bite size of each lesson made the course comfortably accessible and manageable. I felt your guiding presence throughout. 🙏 The course is far to valuable to only listen once, so I'm planning to go through it again to help with deeper integration. Blessings to you as always Katie. ❤️🙏 🙏🙏 Just discovered how to give the course another rating. The second time through was more powerful ( in a gentle somatic way). This really is a much needed course. Thanks again dear Katie🙏🫶 Thanks again Katie. Some good reminders 3rd time through, especially the gem of counter-vortex 🙏🫶🙏

This was just what I needed to feel patience and to know I am transforming one day at a time. Ready to fly!

This was one of the best classes I have taken on Insight Timer. The combination of Freebird’s knowledge, teaching, and then meditation practice and then reflection organization of each session, and her really gentle voice made this something that I have benefited from, even though I have done a lot of work in this area and also something I have recommended to many others. Tremendous thanks and congratulations on such a stellar offering.

Brilliant! Very reassuring. Thank you. I've journalised is the sentence: What if uncertainty is not something to solve, but something to inhabit? I don't know, and that's ok. Perfect! 🙏

This course was so incredibly helpful. I’m really grateful to learn these somatic techniques and in the short amount of time doing these I’m already feeling more confident in listening to my body. Other reviews have said to do the course more than once and I’m really looking forward to that too. Thank you for making and sharing this wonderful course.
