About Kate
After 30 years in education, I've created my own classroom.
One where I get to teach people how to partner with their bodies instead of fight with them. My body taught me those lessons first.
I spent 30 years in education—holding space for everyone else's becoming while my own body whispered, then screamed, for attention. When I finally retired, my body staged what I can only call a revolt. It wasn't punishment. It was an invitation.
The paintbrush found me when I needed it most.
When I met acrylic paint and canvas for the first time at 55, everything changed. I discovered that creativity wasn't a luxury—it was medicine. That art wasn't something you had to be "good at"—it was a conversation with your soul. That play wasn't childish—it was how you remember you're alive.
My spirit animal turned out to be a stink bug. Not a majestic eagle or mystical owl. A stink bug. It literally crawled up my paintbrush during meditation, stayed while I painted it, then died on my palette—right on the colors I'd used to honor it. Sometimes our medicine isn't the phoenix. Sometimes it's the humble creature that shows us how we survived.
Now I guide others home to themselves.
Through Body Odyssey, my 9-week journey using the EMBRACE™ Method, I teach the seven essential elements for reconnecting with your body:
Grounding that brings you back to earth
Movement that shifts stuck energy
Breath that regulates your nervous system
Joy that reawakens your inner cheerleader
A compass that points to your truth
Creative expression that gives your soul a voice
Integration that makes it all real
Through Body Odyssey, my 9-week journey using the EMBRACE™ Method, I teach the seven essential elements for reconnecting with your body:
I teach from the middle, not the mountaintop.
I'm actively navigating multiple chronic conditions. I'm still learning to trust my body after years of override. I'm discovering, daily, that transformation doesn't wait for perfect conditions—it happens in the mess, in the midst, in the Monday morning of it all.
What I know for sure: You're not out of touch with your body because you're failing. You've just been so busy holding it together for everyone else that you forgot how to hold yourself. You've been taught to push through when you needed to pause. To smile when you needed to scream. To give when you needed to receive.
Your body isn't your enemy. She's your forgotten ally.
She's been trying to reach you, sending signals you've been taught to ignore. But here's the beautiful thing—she hasn't given up on you. She's waiting, patient as earth, wise as water, ready to welcome you home.
This is what I offer: A space where exhaustion transforms into expression. Where survival mode shifts to thriving. Where you remember that play is medicine, creativity is prayer, and your body has been on your side all along.
