Hi, I'm Katie

I'm a musician, teacher and healer with a mission to remind everyone of our innate golden beauty that exists within all of us.

My work supports you to nurture your relationship with your inner-world, through creative outlets, somatic awareness and energy healing work so that you can be guided by your very own intelligent body-wisdom.

I dance with sound, energy

I do this through composing, recording and performing, through healing work and through teaching.

And I love it.

My story

I've been working with energy since I was 3 years old when I started dancing ballet, and how movement connects with sound from age 5 when I began playing cello. This gave me a deeply embodied understanding of the inter-connectedness between movement, sound, visualisation, breath and body awareness all as one. I have continued to develop my

My childhood was full of nature, creativity (music, art, drama), love and financial stability. These consistent conditions allowed my nervous-system to experience deep safety and therefore was able to root and expand into a beautiful, gently blossoming spiritual kundalini awakening by the time I was 17.

My brain's love of patterns found a satisfying outlet through developing my musical skill and talents, and through safe containers with which to play, my relationship between channelling subconscious free expression into tangible form became very adept.

Between the ages of 18 and 21, I had a series of experiences which resulted in my nervous-system entering a state of freeze and fawn which lasted for 8-10 years. This opened space in my conscious mind to allow in false-beliefs in order to make sense of the perceived gap between my previously in-flow kundalini-awakened state of being, with my new reality of not being able to be in the world as I knew I could. Another way of saying this would be experiencing depression.

Following my strong urge to re-embody the truth and healing as I'd experienced in my teens, I sought out psychotherapy, which later led to my discovery of reiki, somatic experiencing, understanding the nervous-system, qi gong, tantra, kundalini yoga, breathwork and contact improvisational dance form.

These years of growing my knowledge with existing practices to match what I naturally discovered growing up from having a healthy nervous-sytem, have allowed me to reclaim my gift of energetic sensitivity, a detailed understanding of music theory and meditiative flow state of creativity

Through years of psychotherapy, discovering the world of somatics, understanding how the nervous-system works and my own sensitive gifts of energy transformation, I have been able to rebuild my inner-foundations to hold the depth of feeling and emotion, reconnect with my spiritual groundings, and find my inner-guide of body wisdom, learning how to work with intuition, somatic sensation, chakras bla bla bla.

WELCOME TO MY WORLD

My aim in life is to live in a big authentic love ball

I am a BIG ball of energy, here to live in the total bliss of my healthy happy soul in flow and assist others to do the same. I teach somatic music, blah blah and blah. xxxxx

:) it's coming together Katie, well done. Keep going :) xxx

My desire is to inspire and guide people to deepen their connection to themselves through conscious creative flow and expression, moving towards a balanced energy system and healthy wellbeing that ripples out into a rich, deeply fulfilling life and harmonious world.

MY JOURNEY

From an upbringing filled with love, nature, creativity, music, dance, financial security, health, dogs and no major traumas, I have a deeply engrained embodied experience of what healthy human energy flow feels like somatically and how this manifests outward in the world as deep calm, a strong purpose, authentic connection and resilient inner-power from this deeply regulated and resourced nervous system.

This gave me such a delicious connection and grounding to myself, to nature, to feeling the awe of life burning strong in my body. I naturally developed my own breathwork practices, came to discover the energy body and had my own kundalini awakeanings softly, gently and deeply during my teenaged years. I naturally learnt to channel this powerful blissful state of being effortlessly through sound and music, inspiring many of my peers at school through my grounded, authentic and expansive compositions and performances.

I then had an intense visceral embodied experience of living in an un-regulated freeze and fawn survival state for 9-10 years, experiencing crippling unconsious privilege related shame, acutely aware excruciating sensations of suppresion of my natural creative energy and deep un-conscious dependency on my parents for my sense of financial safety, which fostered false beliefs and unhelpful patterns in my subconscious that kept me in self-sabotaging cycles for just under 10 years.

We are constantly evolving, growing, unfolding into now versions of ourselves. My own inner work will continue to evolve and grow, and I'm deeply honoured to share what I've learnt on my journey so far in my work as.............

Through these 'years of shadow' I remained loosely connected to my deep intuition. This lived in fantasy world in my head: my dreams safely existing in the untouchable dimension between desire and reality (fantasy); without the boldness to really go for it (fear of failure). Over the years I slowly regained the strenght to act on my intuition bit by bit, piecing together my fragmented self sloooowly moving toward a more centered being.

My ability to honour and act on my intuition, becoming stronger and stronger, led me to be brave enough to surrender to a huge level up in my process back to full regulation in the form of an excruciatingly deep heartbreak, and following this came an unconditional devotion to loving myself as much as humanly possibly, a prioritisation of making choices big and small guided purely by my intuition, and the choice to follow subtle energetic cues leading me back into a harmonious relationship honouring the guidance from my heart.

My journey has shaped me into an even richer and wiser inspiring teacher, creative facilitator, musician, composer and energy healer. I specialise in the inter-connectedness of music and dance with a somatically-informed and subtle-energy body approach.

Re-learning what I discovered naturally in my upbringing, I was introduced to a variety of ancient cultural wisdoms below which I draw on in my work.

chakras (India)
somatics (nervous-system awareness - USA(??)
tantra (India - sound, movement, breath - thick deep currents of creative and sexual energy which are the same)
quantum physics manifestation
jazz modes (black culture USA)
Western music theory, the physics of sound (harmonic series), sound healing (vibrational energy - Buddhism).........

Having learnt to play cello and dance ballet since the age of 5, I have a highly-attuned sensitivity to the relationship between music and movement, which I experience as somatic sensation in the subtle-energy body: a sensation of music experienced as movement and vice versa.

From an upbringing full of love, stability, health, and creativity, I was able to nurture a deeply regulated nervous-system and healthy open chakras, which gave space for me to gradually and intuitively develop a tantric way of life alongside a gently expansive kundalini awakening over my teenage years.

My creativity spawned in the form of music and dance,
