I’m Katie.
Through Yoga, Shamanic and Earth-based studies, and Somatic facilitation, I empower others to lead more authentic and intentional lives, and into deeper relationship where relationship has been lost.
A Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher & Educator, Yoga Therapist, Somatic Practitioner, Death Doula/Soul Transition Guide, Plant Medicine Guide and Ceremonialist who is devoted to a life of service. Katie is dedicated to helping others lead a more aligned, harmonious and inspired life.
My passion is guiding others toward a deeper reconnection with all of life—with their bodies, with nature, and with a deeper sense of self: that quiet inner knowing that emerges when we slow down enough to listen, trust, and attune to our own natural rhythms and cycles.
My work blends together three main areas of focus: Yoga, Shamanic and Earth-based studies, and Somatic facilitation. I guide private sessions, lead immersive Yoga Teacher Trainings and educational courses, and hold in-person ceremonies and rituals.
I have supported individuals with a wide range of backgrounds, needs and life experiences. Individuals often come to me during times of transition, when they are navigating grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, or a shifting sense of identity in the wake of major life changes. Many are seeking clarity and direction.
Our external world is a reflection of our inner environment. Healing begins within, and ripples outward into the way we navigate and live in right relationship with ourselves, Mother Earth, our family and loved ones, and our community.
Through my studies and own personal lived experience of overcoming depression, anxiety and nervous system overload, I believe the way to alleviate suffering is through finding the root cause of our imbalances and disconnection rather than a symptomatic, western-based prescription . And that requires us to dive deep into the inner workings of our own psyche: to restore balance in body, mind, and spirit.
My approach is always to honor the uniqueness of this human embodiment. This work is complex, layered, and highly individualized, and there is no one size fits all approach.
I help to create supportive spaces for those wanting to put in the work to find more harmony and resiliency within themselves, and for those who are ready to reclaim their sovereignty and find liberation from patterns, stories and programming that keep them stuck in repetitive cycles and loops that can create stagnancy and a lack of vitality.
Some of the modalities I incorporate into our work together include:
Yoga and Yoga Therapy
Trauma-informed somatic practices & Nervous System education centered around the Female Nervous System
Earth based-rituals and plant medicine ceremonies
Yogic philosophy and mythology
Meditation, visualization and dream work
Breath work
Vocal activation and creative expression (song, prayer, mantra & intuitive movement)
Embodied Journaling
Womb Work
Diet and lifestyle support with some Ayurvedic influence
Parts work

My Mission…
“Weaving the ancient with the modern to empower others to lead more authentic and intentional lives.”
My mission is to offer and share ancient wisdom from a blend of different lineages I’ve studied over the past decade in a way that’s practical and can be integrated and applied to modern world living. My devotion lies in showing others the way to a state of reconnection with who they truly are through practices that have cracked my heart wide open and changed the way I act, speak, behave and view the world.
I'm dedicated to igniting change in the world through helping others feel empowered and confident in body, mind and spirit, so they can allow their inner radiance to shine forth and live from the expansive state of their heart. My medicine is to help others reconnect to the Earth and the elements, and to be a bridge of connection to the wisdom of our ancestors through prayer, ceremony and ritual.
All are welcome. As you are…
