Kate

Somatic Therapist

I bring a warm, attachment-centred approach to my practice, creating a safe space where you can reconnect with your body's innate wisdom. My work is a blend of experiential/body-based and conversation, allowing you to explore and heal through felt sense and embodied experience.


My Training & Experience

My therapeutic foundation is rooted in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy, where I am currently deepening my studies. This approach honors the body as a pathway to healing and transformation. I've enriched this work through training with Dr Paris Williams in mindful somatic approaches to trauma, and I integrate principles from Internal Family Systems to help you reconnect with all parts of yourself with compassion.

I've spent many years exploring contemplative movement and mindfulness. I have a long standing yoga asana practice and have completed 500hr of teacher training with Yoga Coach Australia. My practice is further informed by extensive experience in meditation, Tai Chi, and breathwork - all tools that support your journey back to wholeness. I am also a New Zealand trained secondary school teacher with classroom experience and a parent to three amazing young people. The later being my most rewarding and toughest training to date - can you relate?

Who I Work With 

I specialize in supporting people who feel stuck, particularly those navigating:

• Stress and anxiety
• Trauma and it's effects on the body and nervous system
• Life transitions and personal growth
• Disconnection from their authentic self
• Relationship difficulties
• Parenting challenges
• Developing body awareness and somatic tools

 

Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply yearning for a deeper sense of connection with yourself, my approach offers a gentle yet powerful pathway to healing. Together, we'll explore how your body holds both your pain and your potential for transformation.
