What People Are Saying

 

“Katie is a brilliant kind teacher who shares a really holistic approach to all aspects of yoga. I get something new from everyone of her classes. Never felt like I have to compare myself to anyone or worry about keeping up. She has taught me a solid base to develop my practice & I keep coming back!”

“Katie won’t hold back, exploring different aspects and opinions, challenging me in a gentle way that makes me feel I could reveal all without feeling judged, giving me space to spend time on myself - warts and all. Each session is tailored to what feels appropriate for that week; talking, a meditation, perhaps, or more nontraditional (for me anyway) exercises exploring our place in the universe and what we bring or carry with us. People have noticed a change in me. I have Katie to thank for that.”

Katie’s Story

“After a successful corporate career in recruitment and headhunting managing large teams and supporting people to change their lives, I found myself at the age of 40 feeling purposeless, restless and lacking the capacity to navigate life.

I knew I needed to make a big change in my life and start doing things differently. I had already trained as a life coach but was finding the methods and goal-setting practices somewhat soul-less and empty.

That’s when I first discovered yoga, which completely changed me. I learned how to breathe for the first time and how to view life from new perspectives. My life began to make more sense! 

As I deepened my practice and started my training as a yoga teacher, I discovered transpersonal coaching and systemic constellations work and more pieces began to fall into place.

I started to work through many uncomfortable and painful layers which arose along the way, and I went from being directionless and exhausted to finding deeper inner strength, resources and clarity. And I realised in doing so that this was where I wanted to take my life: helping others do the same.
