Welcome home.
Somatic Therapy for
Sensitive & Neurodiverse Souls
Does this sound like you?
At least once a week you feel completely overwhelmed, perhaps trying to support your child & struggling to understand their experience or overstimulated yourself
You try to do & be it all, leaving you feeling exhausted, disconnected with little time for yourself & perhaps even feeling unappreciated
You feel defeated in that rage-guilt cycle at least once a month, yet you are committed to creating change and ending unhealthy patterns
Due to ongoing stress, you struggle with chronic health challenges - anxiety, gut issues, physical pain, or other concerns
You have tried all the expert advice, tips and tricks... and yet no solution seems to last much longer than a month
You are in the right place. As a Somatic & Parenting Coach (Counsellor), I empower sensitive souls with holistic, neurodiverse affirming approaches that honour the unique journey they have walked. In doing so, we are able to live our authentic self, to experience greater peace, love, and joy in our lives - to gloWithin.
Nurture connection for joyful living!
About Katie,
gloWithin Founder
As a Somatic & Parenting Coach (Counsellor, Craniosacral & Somatic Therapist), I support highly sensitive and neurodiverse families and individuals. While each of our journeys is unique, being a highly sensitive parent and soul myself, I understand the challenges and gifts. In honouring and integrating our whole self, particularly as parents, we are in a better space to honour our child for the unique soul they are, empowering them 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 intergenerational patterns no longer serving, to more deeply connect with others and lead by example.
I am here to help you do just this. My near death experience at 21 helped me reconnect with my life purpose, and healing intergenerational trauma along the way. My mission is to help end unhealthy systemic cycles, and to help foster new healthy ones. While I did a significant amount of healing prior to becoming a parent, it is a journey, and our little teachers shed light on the aspects needing more love. 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 - their unique light they came here to share. Since 2011, I have been supporting families and individuals, bridging science and intuition.
I look forward to supporting you,
🌺 Katie

As a Neuroaffirming 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 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. Being conscious of our energy and how we influence their nervous system and subconscious patterns is essential... yet often forgotten in our overwhelming world.
My first step as a Somatic Parenting Coach is to support you in nourishing yourself, so you can:
Reconnect with your whole, authentic self
Live in alignment with your vision & values for greater joy
Release patterns no longer serving, to lead your family by example
Reclaim and nurture lost parts of yourself, to connect with your gloWithin and honour this in your child
What is Somatic Therapy?
"Soma" is Greek for body, and so Somatic Therapy is body-based therapy. Lately this has become a bit of a buzz word, and for good reason. When I was a child my mother gave me the gift of breath and meditation, and often asked me "what is your body saying?" Around the age of 10 I played with yoga forms and noticed that they released tension or brought up sensation and emotion in different areas.
Essentially Somatic Therapy is a holistic practice, however; everyone practices it differently... so it's good to ask. In my practices, I support clients develop awareness around their body sensations, how this informs their emotions, thought patterns, and subsequent behaviours. How I practice it differs depending on the client, their age, their learning and sensing type, and what modalities we are working with.
Ultimately my purpose is to guide you back into connection with your body, so you can experience greater health, peace, love, and joy. So you can gloWithin!
What is Conscious Parenting?
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, and wears on our family nervous system.
Conscious Parenting is about listening - to our children and our inner-wisdom.
Our sensitive 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 have become disconnected due to demands, expectations, and 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.
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 begin to connect with and trust our inner-wisdom again?
How peaceful & confident would you feel in knowing how to support your child?
How might that empower your family and reduce overwhelm?
How would that feel in your heart?
Join me!
Leave this disconnected society behind and learn to:
Reconnect with your whole, authentic self
Live in alignment with your vision & values for greater joy
Release patterns to trust your inner wisdom, see to the heart of the matter & lead by example
Reclaim and nurture lost parts of yourself, to connect with your gloWithin and honour this in your child
Foster connection & embrace your child’s unique nature, so you can thrive & enjoy this precious time!
My Philosophy
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, unique 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 other skilled practitioners to better support you!
