We all have secrets, painful experiences, and even childhood challenges that affect us to this day. What if keeping them is what’s keeping us unwell?
Our culture teaches us to bottle in our truth, mask our emotions, and manage our image. But the body keeps score, and over time, that suppression turns into stress, disconnection, and even illness.
What if healing is about processing these things through our bodies?
That’s the lens Katie brings, not just as a psychologist or embodiment teacher, but as someone who’s lived it. Katie grew up in an environment where expression wasn’t welcome. Where looking the part was rewarded, but speaking your truth came with consequences.
And yet, through a deep commitment to curiosity and movement, she found her way to something radically different.
By tuning into her body's signals and honoring the impulses society taught her to ignore, Katie uncovered a deeper intelligence. One that didn’t just help her heal, it helped her become. It also helped her pioneer a whole new way of understanding ourselves.
It’s what turned a shy, observant girl into a pioneer in body intelligence and relational honesty. It’s also what led her to her purpose: helping others reconnect to their truth, not just through talking, but through breath, sensation, and somatic expression.
In this episode, Katie shares how secrets manifest in the body and how unprocessed emotions distort our relationships. We also discuss how pivotal moments from childhood, when metabolized, can become the very path to our genius.
