Do you want to raise your child to thrive?
And enjoy your parenting journey?
We hold an incredible opportunity to create change for ourselves, our families, and future generations.
Coregulation begins in utero, and as parents we play a vital role in influencing their nervous system
and subconscious patterning. Our little teachers offer us the opportunity to grow and find greater alignment...
but first, we need to nourish ourselves to recognize our patterns and tune into our inner wisdom to be able to lead by example.
I understand the challenges of...
Being pulled in a million directions with little support & time to nourish yourself
Feeling isolated or guilty asking for help in parenting your highly sensitive or neurodiverse child
Wanting to parent in a way that is supportive, but feeling overwhelmed by conflicting information
Feeling triggered by your child's big emotions and challenges & struggling to react from a calm space
Generational patterns surfacing & not knowing how to release them so we don't pass them along
Are you over parenting tactics that work for the short-term, leaving you second guessing yourself and back to trying to find the answer?
The neurodiverse and highly sensitive child in particular, are picking up on our energy more than our words, meaning coregulation is essential. But we've been taught not to trust our body wisdom or intuition, to look outside of ourselves for solutions, that we are never good enough. Statistically, many of us had our boundaries compromised and this makes it hard to trust our body wisdom, leaving deep, unconscious patterns of fear and shame. So naturally we want a different experience for our children and to protect them, seeking the advice of experts.
How can we embrace calm, connected parenting from this space?
It is in tuning back in, that we are able to hear our needs, nourish ourselves, and embrace our intuition and the power of coregulation to help our children thrive. On size does not fit all in parenting! If you have more than one child, you know that each child is unique, and what worked for one child is not necessarily going to support another. Take a peek below!
This is why we need to understand our child's true essence and approach holistically, to hear the heart of the matter.
The first step is nourishing ourselves. I am here to help you reconnect with yourself compassionately, and to learn holistic and science-based tools, so you can enjoy greater peace and joy on your parenting journey. In doing so, you will be able to embrace all of yourself, heal your patterns, understand your child's true nature, their strengths and challenges, and parent your highly sensitive child in way that empowers them to thrive!
What are your sacred child's unique gifts?
When we are able to tune into and honour our child's uniqueness, parenting becomes significantly easier. We are able to understand their sacred energy and mission, why they sometimes do the things that trigger us, and support them from a heart-centred space. From this perspective we are better able to guide our children, answering both their soul calling and ours, to grow symbiotically and thrive.
But first, we need to be nourished.
Why Do I Offer Parenting Support?
Many of my clients experienced challenging births or postpartum phases with a lack of meaningful support.
Moms, Dads, and children often have unresolved trauma trapped in their nervous system from this experience.
This is often amplified with the challenges of raising a highly sensitive or neurodiverse child.
Most of my clients are Moms who come to me after tirelessly trying other tactics that don't work for their child.
They are tired and understand the need for a more holistic approach that will address underlying patterns and concerns.
All of my clients are incredible parents who wish to do their best for their children, but most feel lost, helpless, or overwhelmed.
They wonder why it's not working for them. What's wrong with them or their child. They feel the parenting guilt.
Many feel stuck in old patterns, but when they are tired and triggered, they come up... feeding into further negative feelings.
They know they want change, but aren't sure what this looks like or how to get there.
I get it, and I know it takes a holistic approach and the support of others to create the change we desire.
We are not meant to walk this journey alone, and healing is not linear.
Say goodbye to overwhelm and guilt,
to embrace the calm, confident version of you,
and empower your family to thrive!

Why I'm committed to supporting you:
I'm a mom to two highly sensitive little girls, with family members who have been ADHD diagnosed and others without a formal diagnosis. I understand the challenges that come with being a highly sensitive mom, and having nearly a lifetime of practicing meditation, breathwork & Somatic tools... I also know how powerful this can be in mitigating overwhelm and setting ourselves and families up to thrive!
Since I was a child I was told I had healing hands and should be a teacher, yet I pursued a Business degree from UBC. Shortly after graduating I began healing my personal & intergenerational patterns, and understood I needed to follow my calling into healing & teaching.
Over the last 12 years, I have been honoured to receive awards for my contributions to empowering families. I am fortunate to work with many incredible people and organizations, who understand the importance of a holistic approach to offering families the resources to thrive!
I'm an Expert Registered Yoga, Craniosacral Practitioner, founder of a Registered Children's Yoga School, and Masters of Counselling Candidate. I integrate mental health and body work, to include supporting your children through their development and any stages they may have struggled to integrate. I can't wait to share little tweaks that can lead to sustainable peace and joy for you and your family!
As someone who believes in the healing power of nature, I am truly grateful to live and play in beautiful North Vancouver, the unceded lands of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ilwətaɁɬ / sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations.
"Katie is so compassionate and knowledgeable in her craft. I always feel safe in her care and trust her in her work. Katie is truly so gifted and she has helped me tremendously on my healing journey, as I always feel so much release post treatment; calm, secure and grounded. I am so appreciative of her and her work."
REBECCA
"Katie is incredible to work with. She helped with my own neck pain and also worked wonders on my daughter's nervous system."
MANDY
"I had the pleasure of receiving a Craniosacral treatment from Katie. 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."

Heart Centred Parenting Course
Nourish Yourself & Empower Your Family to Thrive!
You're the Heart of It
Each parent-child relationship is completely unique, and with so much wonderful (but often conflicting) advice, it can make our parenting journeys even more overwhelming. This is especially true if you or your child is highly sensitive or neurodiverse. But the truth is... only YOU truly know what your child needs. I am here to help you uncover this through my unique framework, guiding you to nourish yourself and tune into your intuition.
I guide you in a culturally and trauma-sensitive way to explore your vision as a parent, with meditations, audio, video, and a journal. Explore holistic tools to nourish you while releasing patterns no longer serving, so you can honour your intuition and experience greater confidence and peace in empowering your family. We dive into nervous system theory and development, so you can appreciate why behaviours exists and learn tools to create conscious change in an empowered way.
You will explore tools and resources to support your child's wellbeing, drawn from gloWithin's highly regarded Registered Children's Yoga Teacher Training. Learn age-appropriate practices to support your children in their development in the first 12 years, regardless of their diverse abilities. In doing so you will be able to foster a solid foundation to help them thrive.
Meltdowns, big emotions, and big reactions are normal parts of growing up and for the child that feels a lot. Our lives and world feels chaotic and overwhelming most of the time, and not having the context to understand yet feeding off of this energy only amplifies it. Children feel their parents intensely... even if parents try to hide their emotions. Actually, that creates confusion for children and contributes to dysregulation.
This is why parenting tactics don't work for most children, especially the highly sensitive and neurodiverse souls. They see through it all, and need to be seen and heard from a heart-centred space. They need us to show them how to nourish their nervous system through co-regulation and leading by example.
This is more than a course. This is a resource to grow with you and your family, and you have lifetime access! Explore at your own pace, with the option to add on a 1:1 session.
You will:
Nourish yourself to connect with your inner wisdom to erase self-doubt, to be a calm, confident parent to hold space for your children's growth
Create inspiring self-care practices, nourishing your inner-peace, regardless of what comes your way
Learn about the family nervous system and Craniosacral system, to appreciate the influences on our emotions, behaviour and physiology
Understand your child's true nature, their sacred mission, and how you can both grow in your sacred calling together
Explore movement foundations for your child's development, and understand what stages may have been missed so that you can support them in integrating
Learn Somatic practices to empower your sensitive children to thrive, tune into their own bodies, and able to express their needs for their wellbeing and safety
Reduce overwhelm with simple & playful practices to co-regulate so your children feel seen, heard, and safe
Explore videos, audio recordings, journal & private community for parents on the App to support you
Gain access to a library of resources to support your family through the various stages of development, and those children may have struggled to integrate

Some of the Guest Speakers We Collab With
Holistic Family Support
You're a busy parent who wants personalized support on your time.
Get the holistic support your family needs to create connected environments to thrive! Many clients say their children's emotions amplify their overwhelm, and sometimes generational patterns they don't like show up. I completely understand this. And when these overwhelming challenges show up and our bandwidth is limited, it's easy to react to the triggers and often from unconscious patterns we learned when we were young - our fight, flight, freeze, and fawn patterns. I support you in creating sustainable, inspiring ways to nourish your nervous system so you can:1. Help set the tone for your family2. Release the patterns that show up when you're triggered3. Create healthy patterns aligned with your parenting approach, and4. Help you to lead by example from a heart-centred space, to help your child thrive!
What do these sessions look like?
Our sessions generally occur over 3 months, drawing upon the various modalities I work with to nourish the family nervous system; breathwork, bilateral therapies, art, sound, meditation or mindfulness, Craniosacral & Somatic practices, and more. As our family nervous systems are intricately connected, I also provide you with resources to nourish your family nervous at home.
Week 1: Our first session being a meeting with the parent(s) for a 90 minute intake to explore your concerns, desired outcomes, systems and patterns, and supportive practices to nourish your nervous system. I support you in understanding your child's uniqueness, their sacred energy and mission, so you can support them in your symbiotic sacred calling.
Week 2: I see each parent individually, allowing us to dive a little deeper into your experience and areas you feel you need support. We will also how your self-care plan went and anything we may need to modify to best suit you.
In weeks 3 and 4: I work with child(ren) and one parent at a time. Children sessions can be split amongst siblings as appropriate. Parents are present for sessions. Children over 8, my focus will be with them primarily. Under 8 my focus will be working with one parent and child at a time. Under 4 years, I will be guiding one parent in play activities with child.
Week 5: I generally like to touch base with parents again - see what has come up for you, what is working, and where you need further support. This may be a deeper session for you, depending on where you are at.
Week 6: I touch base with the child(ren) again, to see what has changed for them, what is working, and where we can further support.
Week 7: I see both parents again individually to again explore your experiences and where you may need further support. This may be related to your personal experiences, and/ or experiences as a parent and through this process.
Week 9: is our final session with both parents together. In this session we explore what has come up individually, together, and as a family. Often this is sufficient for the family unit to have the resources they need to move forward. Some families may choose to touch base in 3 months, continue their SSP subscription, or reach out again when you feel you need more support as life changes and children meet another milestone that may present challenges. I am always here and happy to continue to support you, and you have the courses included for life!
