ABOUT KATY
I CHAMPION THE TRANSFORMATIVE NATURE OF inner work, SUPPORTING PEOPLE to EMBODY it, AND reclaim their power to SHAPE THE WORLD they WISH TO LIVE IN.
My belief in inner work comes from the extraordinary ways it has transformed my life.
Like many of us, I reached a point where the life I maintained on the surface, and the systems I poured myself into, no longer made sense.
In both my personal life and my professional work addressing humanitarian and environmental issues, I became exhausted from trying to control outcomes and “do better”.
I longed for depth, and a way of being that reflected the wonder, freedom and deep peace that my heart and soul knew to be true.
I kept looking outside for answers and solutions, not realising that everything I sought could be found by turning within.
I now work at the intersection of wisdom traditions and modern approaches to trauma and neuroscience.
Through fourteen years dedicated study, I believe the field of inner work to be the quiet, missing piece in modern culture.
A paradigm shifting practice for leaders, truth-seekers, parents, activists, educators, and any person confronting universal questions and challenges on both the personal and collective level.
I share a range of experiential methodologies within the five pillars of inner work I draw upon;
Embodiment
Healing (personal, ancestral, collective)
Inner Leadership
Awakening soul
Relational skills (with other people, nature, and allies in the unseen realms).

TRAINING & ACCREDITATION
Combining professional training with lived experience and self study, I offer proven methodologies and practical strategies with spiritual intuition. I am forever grateful to my teachers, both human and more than human, for the wisdom and loving patience they have shared.
