Feel like "you" again. I'm here to help...
I completely get what it feels like to feel so confused and disconnected from yourself. Dealing with chronic, nagging symptoms or just the sense that you don't feel like yourself is disorienting and tiresome.
I know. I've been there. After years of mysterious symptoms I finally discovered nervous system healing and it changed my life and my work.
For years working in the alternative health field, I saw clients struggling with mysterious symptoms. Some had definitive autoimmune conditions, and others were simply told, “Oh, that’s just hormones” or “You change as you get older. Get used to less energy” or “You’re stress is causing all this. Meditate!” I began searching for ways to make a lasting impact. I found that in nervous system health and healing.
Somatic nervous system healing works on deep, foundational levels. It isn't simply treating symptoms. It is getting to the heart of the issues. If you are working with any chronic condition, trauma, or imbalance, this can be a complete game changer.
I'm honored to support you on this journey (and it is a journey!).
Katy has a B.A. from The Colorado College in Comparative Religion. She is a graduate from The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, certified as an Integrative Nutrition health coach. Katy is a Craniosacral therapist certified by the Upledger Institute with additional osteopathic training in Orthobionomy and Visceral Manipulation. She is trained and certified in the developmental trauma somatic therapy modality Transforming Touch® as well as The Arvigo Techniques of Mayan Abdominal Therapy®. Perhaps of most significance in her work is "practicing what she preaches". Katy receives work and practices nervous system regulation on a daily basis. There is no better teacher than walking the path yourself and knowing the ins and outs of what someone is going through because you've been there too.
Influences that inform my work:
Somatic Therapy. Somatic therapy is a process of healing that works through the body instead of the head. Where traditional therapy works by processing cognitively, somatic therapy uses touch, body awareness, and a "felt" sense of sensations to bring forth wisdom and healing to mind and body.
Craniosacral Therapy. Craniosacral Therapy is a hands-on light touch therapy which focuses on re-balancing the nervous system and allowing deep rest, promoting self-healing on deep, transformative levels.
Transforming Touch and Transforming Intentional Touch®. This is a powerful modality for addressing one’s long standing unhealed trauma through working directly with the nervous system.
Brain retraining techniques. These exercises use nueroplasticity principles to shift the habitual stress response and positively change the neural circuitry in the brain.
Psych-K and the work of Pam Kelley. Psych-K is a method using applied kinesiology (muscle testing) in order to gain insight and promote healing in the system. In addition to certification in Psych-K, developed by Rob Williams, Katy was mentored by Pam Kelley, an applied kinesiology expert and creator of the Bio-9 method.
Arvigo Techniques of Mayan Abdominal Therapy®. This system aligns with Mayan traditional healing, which sees the body, mind, and spirit as inseparable. It is a rich lineage that offers traditional women’s wisdom practices.
