"...what I am talking about here, comes from the body. There is no superficial matter, but rather the way that man found to honor the way he places his two feet on the ground." Paulo Coelho

Through gentle movement and mindfulness practices, we will explore tools that settle the nervous system, bring ease and efficiency to our movement, and discover our agency in integrating practices that sustain our well-being. We will explore ways in which we can connect to self authentically and compassionately allowing us to show up in our life and relationships with the same openness and curiosity.

Somatics is a field of movement studies and bodywork that foregrounds the body's internal physical sensations, perceptions, and experiences.Through somatic practices, there is an opportunity to listen to the inherent wisdom of the body. We tap into the subtle body supported by our sensory system and inner awareness. The body is honored not as a performative tool but as a gateway to the present moment and a holder of stories, both difficult and delightful, that can when explored cultivate a path toward living with ease and authenticity.

There are many modalities for this work. The work that Kate embraces utilizes embodied meditation, guided breath, and natural movement practices that allow us to drop into what is held in the body. She offers a supported touch to enhance the inner experience. There is a collaborative development of somatic practices that can be incorporated into daily life and practiced independently. Her work is deeply respectful of the pace and process of the participant and is trauma-informed.
