Your Retreat Host

Personal agency and feeling safe & supported are paramount for me. It is my heartfelt commitment to ensure you feel fully met, encouraged to feel all the feels and have full 'permission' to respond and express yourself in intuitive, unique and organic ways.

My offering is inspired by the importance and interplay of subtle energetics, physical anatomy and individual inquiry. I draw influence from our everyday life, philosophical inquiry/interpretation, re-connection with the body and the ways in which we want and deserve to feel.

  • “I love how you give choice. I hate being told what to do in life and you always provide a safe space and autonomy. You empower people in their own bodies in their own practice. You also connect your class meaning to life and the bigger picture and I have felt so transported by you and your teaching style.”

  • “Yesterday I was off balance and barely able to fully express myself. There was a part of me that immediately wanted to beat myself up for failing but mostly I wanted to embrace feeling proud for doing something for myself. I think all your lovely teachings have been part of my journey.”

  • “Kate creates such a safe & gentle space. I feel so safe & so welcome. The experience is always so wonderful.”

  • “This time is so precious to me. Kate has guided me to learn and listen to my body and nervous system. She’s invited me to rest in such a safe non-judgmental physical, mental and emotional space. Her offering is healing, very healing.”

  • “Restorative with Kate is amazing. I hadn't realised how much a needed a moment to pause and rest…I felt like I was floating on a gentle cloud of healing. Her guidance is always so loving and caring. I felt held in the class so I could just let go and rest.”

  • “Kate supports my mind and nervous system to feel very safe, helping me rest and find peace. It really feels such a privilege to be guided by Kate on this journey.”

  • “I always have a wonderful experience with Kate. She is incredibly supportive throughout the sessions and creates a lovely, peaceful atmosphere. Her guidance and positivity makes every session enjoyable! The restorative offerings are incredibly calming and has been a tremendous help in easing my anxiety. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a way to find peace and relaxation.”

  • “I attended this offering with my daughter, who is currently struggling with mental health issues. We were both exhausted and cranky. We came out feeling rested and relaxed. It was priceless. Kate was fantastic. We could feel her soul shining on us, and her care for each student was felt and appreciated. It was a perfect session.”

  • "Kate is one of the most compassionate & passionate teachers I have ever encountered. We always feel restored, supported and loved. Her soul shines through every time."

  • "My anchor of the week. Kate's coaching is perfect, inclusive and clear, free from judgement. It feels safe and welcoming."
