Nurture Your Wholeheartedness
Somatic Experiencing & Integral Somatic Psychology Coaching
Trauma is not your fault, But you are the only one with the power to shift it. And You don’t have to do IT alone.
Supporting you as You navigate the path to exactly what you need to be your whole self.
“In short, trauma is about loss of connection to ourselves, to our bodies, to our families, to others, and to the world around us.” - Peter A. Levine, PhD
Learn to harness the power of connection again by harnessing skills to listen to your nervous system, emotions, & vagus nerve. Build your intrinsic sense of security, confidence, & your relationship with boundaries.
Creating Resilience
Trauma isn't in the event that happens on the outside — it's how YOUR body responds to it on the inside.
The same event happening to both of us might not be a problem for your body & but might cause collapse in mine. Both our bodies are completely normal, but mine is stuck in a stress response cycle.
Our bodies have incredible systems that keep us protected. If we trip, our arms and hands extend to protect us. If a storm approaches suddenly, our body gets us away. If a loud noise catches us by surprise - our head & shoulders tuck in to hide & protect our core organs.
But when an event persists, the body buckles down more. Our muscles & fascia tighten. Our speech may go offline. Or our musculature softens and we collapse into a heaviness or weariness.
When a similar event occurs again, our bodies recognize and predict the same outcome. These patterns continue to wind around and around, can feel powerless.
The skills to unwind these processes for greater freedom, playfulness, joy, hope - and relief are closer than you think.
The ways we nurture our bodies, minds and souls are exactly how the stress response cycle can learn to re-wire and we can find greater agency just under the surface.
Support Is Here.
"I'm here to hold what’s here. I create spaces to help you bear the loneliness, the fear, & the hurt. Together we can gently explore how different parts wish to receive & find support.
It’s from these places you can do anything."

"Before working with Kath, I was experiencing throat closing on a regular basis, plus loads of anxiety, despite medication and knowing Somatic tools but not necessarily using them. Get ready to both relax and understand your body, mind and emotions better, unwrapping why your body does what it does when it's reacting to emotions."
— Natasha

"Prior to working with Kath, I had chronic tension headaches, neck pain, and digestive issues that made it difficult to move through the world freely. These sessions helped me become more attuned to what my body is trying to communicate. I now have more self-awareness and can better regulate my nervous system through the tools Kath teaches."

"After listening to Kath speak at VO Atlanta I knew I wanted what she was offering. Being able to access deeper places of emotion and anxiety and feel where it's really coming from in my body has been incredibly useful. Even if you think you don't have anything to deal with, there's a peace that comes with this work that leaves you feeling so much more in control."

Hi, I'm Kath
This work keeps showing me the buried, hidden and shamed places find what’s needed to break free. It is with the deepest respect & honor I get to help you do the same.
I know what it’s like to live detached and overwhelmed from relationships and circumstances and feel so helpless to do anything about it.
My intrinsic sense of safety, worth, and value & help me stay in more plugged in to my boundaries. I am a softer mother, a kinder partner, a more generous friend. I genuinely like me and it draws others towards me rather than away.
My practice is rooted in deep listening, empathy, meeting you where you right where you are; encouraging and empowering you to weave a reality from your your greatest pain and deepest desires.
As a fellow creative, I also understand the vulnerability and discipline that comes with putting your yourself & your art into the world.
Common Questions
-
Therapists do incredible work processing past experiences and diagnosing mental health conditions. Sometimes with chronic or debilitating syndromes a licensed provider is exactly the right next step.
Somatic coaching focuses on practical tools for what's happening in your system right now, helping you build capacity for future challenges.
Some clients see a therapist and a coach and find they complement each other beautifully. Other clients find that coaching is the right fit and stay with me for many sessions.
You can always try a session and see what your experience is. I offer a 30 minute FREE consult as well, so you can try it out risk free. -
Not at all. This work supports anyone wanting to live with more ease, confidence, and authentic expression. We all have stress responses that could benefit from completion and integration, whether from major events or daily life pressures.
Trauma is simply the way your body is holding energy from a past event that caused overwhelm. Often trauma occurs in the absense of a compassionate witness. -
That's completely normal and exactly where we start. Many people live disconnected from body sensations. Part of this work is gently learning to notice and interpret your body's signals without pressure or judgment.

If you're tired of just coping and ready to build genuine capacity, if you want practical tools for life's challenges, or if you're curious about what your body might have to teach you, this work could be a good fit. Small Groups and Community Workshops are a low risk and more affordable way to try it out.
Give yourself a little time if you can because you might not know at first. This is not about making discomfort go away, it’s about learning to relate to it differently so places that are holding tightness can mend.
You might surprise yourself how connection will change your capacity.
