Meet Katie
My philosophy as a practitioner has shifted and developed over the years, at its core is the belief that symptoms are messengers from the body there to help us discover where we are out of balance, and return us back to wholeness on a Mind, Body, and Spirit level.
With individual coaching, I bring in powerful tools such as Bio-Energetic Health Scans to create a clear and individualized road map to healing. My extensive education and personal experience, allow us to delve deep into the root cause and address the physical and emotional stressors holistically.
We will explore various aspects of your life, including your environment, sleep patterns, and nutritional habits. Equally important, we will address emotional stressors such as boundaries and work-related stress.
My inspiration for helping others comes from my personal healing journey. About 15 years ago, when I was struggling with chronic bloating and stomach pains that made me look about 7 months pregnant all the time🤰🏻😰. After several hospital visits doubled over in pain, I was diagnosed with celiac disease (aka gluten intolerance), and I immediately went gluten-free and took steps to heal my gut, and tried every diet under the sun to feel better.
Despite some improvement, I continued to struggle with symptoms from golf ball-sized cystic acne, and constant digestive issues to chronic fatigue.
Like many people, I bounced from doctor to doctor for many years without answers and being told it was all in my head. 🤦🏻♀️
BUT I knew there had to be more to it!
In 2013, I finally received a diagnosis of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (an autoimmune disease of the Thyroid), it was both a relief and shock and this became the catalyst for my healing journey, I was “tired of being tired” and needed to take matters into my own hands!
🧘🏻♀️I began with Yoga teacher training, where I complete 300 hours of Tantra Yoga, and traveled to India and Bali to dive deeper into energy + spiritual healing.
🥑 Next, I realized I needed to learn how to nourish myself properly and care for my physical body. I completed a certification at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
❤️ What began as a means to heal myself, became a passion for sharing this information and educating others.
🧠 A few years ago, I found myself suffering from extremely mysterious symptoms and discovered I was living in Mold (yikes!) and developed Mold Illness (double Yikes!), it was a tough journey. But this is what brought me to a deeper understanding of healing, and understanding the brain and nervous system as well as Bio-Energetic Testing. During this time I immersed myself in trainings like, Brain Re-Wiring, Somatic Embodiment Nervous System Regulation certification, and most recently, Ayurveda School, and Feminine Form Medicine.

You can find me spending quiet time in the woods on a mountain.
I’ve been to India and slept on a hard floor and showered with cold bucket

I’m a “listen to all types of music” kinda gal, in the same day I can go from
