Yes. There is nuance to this.

Yes. sometimes our body has maladaptive responses.

Yes, it’s really hard to trust ourselves to trust our body and trust that that might actually be enough.

Yes, sometimes we need to move and breathe and engage in renegotiated regulation…

But… first… try taking that nap? Or slowing things down? Noticing what it’s like to not react to every little thing? Or to react exactly how you want to? What if that was just as worthy of an experiment in this endless game of succeeding as a human as doing more or doing something was?

PS pets make for wonderful co regulators even if my dog’s face makes this seem one sided 😂😂😂

Hi! It’s me, Kat, your friendly Certified Athletic Therapist, Integrative Somatic Therapist and Herbalist.

Those of you who know me know I work a little differently, in that I blend a hodgepodge of conventional and alternative therapies into my practice.

To those who don’t know me - welcome, and here you’ll find a practical approach to injury and illness rehab, body-mind therapies and modalities that support your quality of life.

I utilize my extensive training in sport medicine and applied health alongside advanced training in trauma informed somatic and breath based therapies to support clients from all walks of life in their goals.

Many people see me for injury rehab, chronic pain, support in life’s transitions, navigation of post traumatic symptoms, holistic health consultation, bodywork, nervous system based rehab/recalibration, breathwork facilitation, body based emotional processing (somatic work), movement coaching and for those challenges that they’ve tried everything for with no desired outcome.

I practice full time in the wonderful St Norbert Arts Centre as well as online and my way of practice has been developed from many lived experiences being on the client side of things.

My fall schedule is fairly limited however there are some remaining availabilities here and there with my schedule widening for new cases more so come January.

A reminder to existing clients that I will be away from end of Nov until just before Xmas with very select availability between Xmas and year end. This means if you are planning on booking before 2026, please do so in advance as last minute availability will be unlikely this year. My November schedule is reserved for existing client bookings at this time, and will open publically once existing clients have had a chance to reserve desired spots.

My waitlist is always open!

May we have some more of these gorgeous fall days for some time yet! 🍂

Introducing Evoke: Revitalize

Delicious and nutritious support for the nervous system is the core value in this staple tea blend.

These are some of my returned to over and over again herbal allies for those of us who need some replenishing and revitalization.

This blend supports us in finding a sense of clarity and revitalization through nourishing minerals, vitamins and micronutrients.

Herbs used: nettle, lemombalm, blue vervain, skullcap, peppermint, milky oats, ginger.

It’s a lovely daily tea that has a balancing effect on the body and mind. These herbs help to settle the overstimulated, nudge the under stimulated and bolster the overwhelmed.

Customization available for your unique self 🌱

All herbs used have been locally grown/harvested or sourced and each bag is batch blended with clear mind and intention.

In stock and available to pick up or ship within Canada 🌱

I’m pleased to introduce one of my staple tea blends, Evoke: Flow State.

These are plants I come back to time and time again for myself and others as core menstrual supports.

There are nuances I make to different versions of this blend for different cycles, but the main ingredients almost always play a role.

This combination is a nutritional powerhouse that helps to support energy, deep rest, digestive function, circulation and eases common discomforts.

As always, customization to this blend is available for your unique desires.

Ingredients used are locally harvested or provided by local or within Canada suppliers and always blended in small batches with clear intention and present mind.

I have some in stock ready to pick up at the clinic or can take orders to ship 💛🌱✨

Today group was all about slowness and offering our bodies/minds a chance to savour in sensation while being held by the natural world around us.

Co-facilitators included a curious doe, a hawk and many drifting leaves.

There’s still room in Sept 22 (5:30PM), Oct 1 (11am) and Oct 6 (5pm) group somatic sessions - message me to join!

Join me this fall for a few more outdoor, nature infused Group Somatic Therapy opportunities.

These sessions are intentional small group guided body-based practices that infuse breath, movement, prompted journalling, meditation and nature.

These will likely be our last guaranteed outdoor sessions for the year before I move group opportunities indoors.

These sessions are perfect for those in work with me wanting some more facilitated options in their practices AND for those who are just dipping their toes into somatic based therapies looking for an accessible, supported path onwards.

Come take a breath, settle inward and explore with us!

Message me to reserve your spot for any and all sessions.

This view never gets old ✨

Another group somatic session hosted and held by the wonderful grounds at ✨

These small group sessions are so refreshing - a relaxed atmosphere, invitational practice and experiences co-facilitated with nature. Today we danced in the spaces between force, pressure, ease and flow utilizing journaling, meditation, invitational movement and breath.

I am looking forward to continuing outdoor sessions as long as possible into fall. Swipe through for the first round of group sessions beginning in mid September. Daytime and early evening options 💛

1 conscious, present breath - of any capacity or quality far outweighs any number of “deep” breaths if the goal is presenting, regulating and orientating 💛

Postcards from this mornings Group Somatics session.

We were held by the ruins and the stillness in the air around us.

We moved in a way that allowed us to reach and let the sun and gravity into our bones.

We breathed and explored the ruins the exist within ourselves - finding what was “in ruins” and also what remained to be worshipped or run toward.

Thanks to all who joined! Our next group session is Aug 13. There are a few spots available for anyone who’d like to join. Reach out if that’s you 🌞

End of July feels like a bated breath, desperate to be released into a sigh.

There hasn’t been much relief for those I’ve connected with, myself included, lately. That sigh - the release from suspension, retention, pressure.. hasn’t yet happened.

The season of growth has reached its peak - pausing briefly here on full.

Soon, nature transitions from growth into slow death. From bloom to harvest.

Sooo much of the past week or two seems to be a manifestation of that growth pressure. Whether it’s been new wounds opened, old patterns questions, old symptoms flaring or simply life’s chaos rising like the humidex or blowing in with the smoke.

Sometimes all there is to do is to surrender to it.

The pain. The uncertainty. The chaos. The pressure.

At a certain point we have to recognize what is outside our control or prediction and what we can reasonably seek support around.

Lean into the natural pause between your inhale and exhale, in this very moment. Even if it’s only a second or less. Find that space between. Don’t force yourself to stay, just notice what’s already there. Find the hang time.

The next phase always comes. Trust the body, the breath, to carry the rhythm. Let yourself surrender and witness the timeless pacing of your biology.

In….out….in..out… 🌬️
