My background
Hi- I am Kat. In my life I have always had a passion for tending and befriending whoever or whatever I could- but until my adult life I was not skilled at tending and befriending myself. Throughout my childhood, teenage years, and young adulthood I struggled with mental, emotional, and physical health- specifically with eating disorders. As I have navigated healing and recovery I have found respite and restoration in the practices of yoga, mindfulness, embodiment, and nervous system regulation.
Since 2018 I have provided yoga, mindfulness, and embodiment practices individually and in groups at numerous levels of care in eating disorder treatment centers, and currently work in PHP and IOP as a recovery coach and somatic movement practitioner. As a Registered Yoga Teacher, Reiki practitioner, and Somatic Movement professional my goal is to assist others on their healing path through befriending the body and using it as a resource.
What are "Somatic Movement, Mindfulness, and Embodiment Practices"?
Somatic and embodiment practices are methods that focus on cultivating awareness of your physical body sensations to promote self-regulation, connection to the present moment, and deeper self-understanding, essentially using the body as a tool for healing and personal growth; "somatic" refers to the body, and embodiment means actively inhabiting and experiencing your physical self.
