Welcome!

Somatic Therapy for

Sensitive & Neurodivergent Souls

You know the challenges... and the joys! Sometimes it feels like a very fine balance in our over-stimulating world, where we're expected to keep going... and with a smile.

While each of our journeys are unique, being a highly sensitive parent and soul myself, I understand the challenges and gifts.

As a Neuroaffirming & Somatic Clinical Counsellor, Craniosacral Therapist, and founder of a Registered Children's Yoga School, my work is based around honouring and integrating our whole self.

This is very important as parents, so we are in a better space to honour ourselves and lead by example to empower our little souls to thrive!

And the best part?! It takes less than 5 minutes a day!

... this also goes for the inner-child within each of us.

I look forward to connecting with you,

About Katie,

Founder of gloWithin™

Many ask how I got here. As a sensitive child, I was fortunate to have been taught breath and meditation as a child, and stumbled upon Somatic work when I was 7. I didn't know then that this was to become the backbone of my life work.

It wasn't until my near death experience at 21 that I reconnected with this purpose in calling myself back, and healing my intergenerational trauma along the way. As a result, a big part of my mission is to empower you with understanding your body, your voice, and to help heal unhealthy systemic cycles and foster new healthy ones.

As a parent, I believe our little teachers shed light on the aspects needing more love... and so when we are able to see these triggers as an opportunity for symbiotic growth, it opens doors for 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 gloWithin™

Since 2011, I have been supporting families and individuals, bridging science and intuition and creating supports within the systems in which each of us exist.

I look forward to connecting with you,

🌺 Katie

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!

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
Empowering your child from a strengths-based perspective
Somatic practices to help your child thrive, regardless of their diagnosis

My thoughts on gentle &conscious parenting...

Over the past few years we've seen the rise of gentle & conscious parenting... but what is it really?

Gentle parenting often is viewed as permissive parenting... but we know it's about co-regulation. Permissive leads to lack of boundaries and safety, which leads to overwhelm for everyone.

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 grow... but so often it gets confused with perfection in parenting.

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.

I choose to call it Heart Centred Parenting.

This 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. Even if we have worked on becoming conscious of and healing these patterns... we can get triggered, which is why our self-care is not selfish but essential.

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,

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 calm & 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?

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!
