About 

My work is guided by what comes naturally. Your body’s wisdom is the compass.

I’m Kate.

My work
is all about
connection
and thriving.

I work with burnout and birth. My days range from loud and raw, bodily fluids flying, to super quiet, wordless witnessing. Sometimes in the same minute.

Deep listening is a part of everything I do. For burnout and nervous system support, I offer Craniosacral therapy in Richmond, Virginia, a subtle healing arts practice that centers your body’s rhythms and inner healer. In preparing for childbirth, I use Body Ready Method®— an alignment-based approach to physical birth prep— to listen to what the body’s asking for from a movement and balance perspective. Together we attune to what’s real, helping you to connect with your truth and move with greater balance, ease, and flow.

I work with people who are navigating the mythic rite of passage of childbirth, and on the hero’s journey of healing in a complex age.

A little more about where I’m coming from…

Like so many of us, I got hit hard by burnout in 2020. I was a brand-new nurse, overwhelmed, and I completely fried my nervous system. Broke my brain. My body was unraveling and I could not cope.

It’s been slow going, but over time, I’ve tended to my body and nervous system, and brought a lot of capacity and stability back on board.

I’ve always been pulling at the threads of my curiosity, which weave into the tapestry of the world we’re collectively dreaming up.

I’ve been a birthworker since 2015, as a midwife’s assistant & doula. Before then, I was really into sustainable farming and local food systems. I lived a summer on a 500 acre farm on top of a mountain, with 7 strangers who obviously became my best friends, growing food and learning about the soil & land.

I’ve been Permaculture Design Certified since 2012. I’ve been a yoga teacher since 2017. I’m obsessively political.  I can’t help but look at the big picture. We don’t heal in pieces. It’s not just your uterus that’s having a baby; it’s your mind, your bones, your muscle, and your spirit. It’s not just your brain that’s burnt out. We don’t heal or grow as individuals. We heal in relationship. 

I believe that birth is social, spiritual, and sometimes psychedelic. Sometimes it’s medical. Sometimes that’s necessary, sometimes it isn’t. Birth can be a deeply healing experience.

I believe that healing is just what your body’s up to, all the time. You have nothing to overhaul. We just have to remove the barriers and create the conditions where your body can do its healing thing. 

I’m really into myth, fairy tales, and old stories as healing tools and fountains of insight into this crazy humanity thing.  Whether guiding your growth or supporting your healing I aim to create a ripple effect of devotion and meaning in the world. 

I feel most at home with weirdos and freaks.

I’m a Capricorn Sun, Gemini Moon, and Aries Rising. In Human Design I’m a Manifestor, 2-4, Emotional Authority. I love yoga but I’m super picky about it. Not a coffee snob as long as it’s hot. I actually believe that puns are good. Like it’s not a bit. My constitution is too frail for gluten and dairy. I love a Diet Dr. Pepper, babe, I’m no purist.  I absolutely live to dance.
