Nurturing connection for joyful living!

You are not alone.

As a Somatic Parenting Coach,

I support you in fostering a deeper connection within,

to become the calm, connected version of you.

When we do this, everything changes.

Get ready to experiencing greater peace & joy in your parenting journey.

Welcome to gloWithin!

As a Somatic Parenting Coach (Counsellor, Craniosacral & Somatic Therapist), I support highly sensitive and neurodiverse families and individuals. I intimately understand the nuances of supporting these children and families. Each of us has unique gifts and challenges to navigate, and by honouring our own as a parent we are in a better space to honour those of our child. In doing so we create a healthy foundation to offer our children the greatest opportunity to thrive!

The fact that you're here tells me you are committed to creating change for yourself, your family, and future generations. This change begins within each of us, nourishing our nervous system so we can feel safe to go within, to heal the patterns no longer serving, to lead and connect with our children in ways that truly empower and honour them.

I am here to help you do just this. While I worked on my intergenerational patterns prior to becoming a parent, I believe our children are teachers and they shed light on the aspects we still need to heal. These triggers are an opportunity for symbiotic growth and intergenerational healing.

This is where my support comes in. With a nearly life-long Somatic practice, I am versed in various modalities to support you in nourishing your nervous system and releasing layers, so you can lead by example and help your children stay connected to their gloWithin - the light they came here to embody. Since 2011, I have been supporting families and individuals, bridging science and intuition. I look forward to supporting you.

intergenerational healing

My whole body was lighter and grounded and my thoughts were organized. I got peace of mind. That evening I took that big decision from my heart, and since there everything has been flowing. I really appreciate Katie's work.

LEYRE

Katie is so knowledgeable and kind. She is flexible and pushes us gently to help us grow in our practice. Inspiration is defined as a feeling of enthusiasm you get from someone or something, that gives you new and creative ideas... this is what Katie was for me! I am inspired to continue my practice.

KATRINA

Your course was absolutely invaluable to me and I would take it over and over! Having the daily anchoring was essential as I navigated a big transition… Thank you so much! Your leadership is truly inspiring.

What is Conscious Parenting Anyways?

Over the past few years we've seen the rise of conscious parenting... but what is it really?
I believe Conscious Parenting requires deep self-awareness, so we can honour the light our children come into this world with.
We serve as our child's guide here on Earth, and through this relationship we both have the opportunity to align with our gloWithin.

It is not about being a perfect parent. It is not about doing all the things.

That creates unrealistic expectations for ourselves and children, which is wears on our family nervous system.

We are human. We learn and grow through mistakes and teach our children how to handle challenges in healthy ways.

Conscious Parenting is about listening - to our children and our inner-wisdom.

It requires us to be courages to explore intergenerational healing, so we can honour our children.

Our highly sensitive and neurodiverse children in particular, are asking us to tune in and awaken to a new way of being.

We have all the tools we need, but many of us adults have become disconnected due to demands, expectations, societal rhetoric.

When we are at capacity as many are, we react from our Limbic system (instinctual brain) and subconscious patterning

...unless we have done the work to become conscious of and heal these patterns.

Are you ready to create change for your children and future generations?

Each parent-child relationship is unique and offers us the opportunity to release, heal and re-align with our gloWithin,

so we can truly lead our children by example and honour their gloWithin.

You are a GREAT parent!

The fact that you're here says so, but we all have patterns we would rather not pass along.

We live in a world where we are taught that we are not good enough, know enough, worthy enough... this just scratches the surface.

What if we change the narrative, and begin to connect with and trust our inner-wisdom again?

How peaceful and confident would we feel?

How might that empower your family?

As a Parenting Coach, how can you help me?

As parents we hold an incredible opportunity to be and create change for ourselves, our families, and future generations. Our children begin co-regulating with us from 6 weeks in utero, and pick up more on our energy than what we say or do in the formative years. This is especially true with Highly Sensitive and neurodiverse children, and so being aware of the energy we embody and how we influence their nervous system and subconscious patterns is essential.

My first step as a Somatic Parenting Coach is to support you in nourishing your nervous systems, so you can:

  • Reconnect with your body and whole self

  • Understand your vision and values in a holistic sense

  • Develop greater self-awareness and understanding your patterns

  • Reclaim and nurture lost parts of yourself, so you can connect with your gloWithin and honour this in your child

When she started at my feet, I immediately felt like I was surrounded in this lovely, nurturing energy. What Katie shared with me after was all absolutely true, and a helpful take away I can work with. I would highly recommend Katie to be part of your healing journey.

My Philosophy

Parenting Coach

Compassion

Healing requires introspection and taking a curious, compassionate approach. I appreciate this can be challenging for many, and so I embrace a sensitive approach, meeting you where you are. This ability to be kind to ourselves extends outwards, and the compassion we offer to others needs to be reflected back to ourselves. As your guide, I hold space for and to empower you in embodying your glowithin - your light and full self!


Integrity

Integrity embodies a wholeness, the ability to authentically integrate our whole self to bring our full light into the world. Each of us is unique and has walked a different path, and in holistically honouring all aspects that have influenced ourself and that of others, we create a richer tapestry of life for ourselves and our communities. I look forward to celebrating all of you!

Connection

We are hard-wired for connection! Co-regulating begins with our mother in utero, with the next 7 years shaping the ways in which we perceive and interact with the world around us. Finding deeper connection within ourselves and our communities is essential to our wellbeing. We are not here to walk this journey alone, and so I collaborate with many other skilled practitioners to better support you!
