Personalized support for your body, nervous system, and well-being
Sessions begin with listening — to what you're carrying, what your body is holding, what's actually needed today. From there, the practice unfolds. Sometimes that's movement, breathwork, or meditation. Sometimes a conversation about sleep, daily rhythms, or the small habits that quietly cost more than they give. The practice follows the person. It has to.
Over time, we build anchors — small, returnable practices that fit your real life. Not the calm, organized version you're hoping to eventually have, but the one you have right now, with its interruptions and ordinary Tuesday mornings. This work supports your body, mind, and nervous system in building sustainable rhythms that extend far beyond the session.
Kathryn is based in Chicago. Sessions are offered online, allowing us to work together wherever you are.

Somatic Coaching
Body-centered practice for presence, resilience, and ease
Somatic coaching is a body-centered, client-led practice that begins with what's present — your sensations, breath, and the body's quieter signals. Unlike talk therapy, there's no need to retell your story. Intentions and personal stories are welcome but not required — some people arrive with a clear focus, others simply come with curiosity. We can stay with sensations, breath, or imagery rather than relying on words. This approach respects your pacing and is especially supportive if talking has felt overwhelming or incomplete in other settings. The work supports the body in processing held stress and trauma — not by retelling, but by attending to what the body is holding and creating space for it to shift. Sessions are offered online.
Yoga Therapy
Whole-person support rooted in yoga's ancient framework
Yoga therapy is one of the most comprehensive integrative practices available, rooted in yoga's eight limbs — not just movement (asana), but breathwork and energy work (pranayama), meditation (dhyana), ethical living (yamas/niyamas), concentration, and withdrawal of the senses. While rooted in this yogic framework, the work integrates somatic practice, Pilates, Reiki, and habit change — a truly comprehensive approach that goes beyond yoga alone. You don't need to be "into yoga" to benefit from this work. We draw on time-tested yogic principles and apply them to real life — no Sanskrit required, no philosophy lessons unless you want them. Ancient wisdom backed by present-day science, adapted to fit your actual life. Sessions and ongoing support are offered online through a HIPAA-aligned portal. This work is currently offered at an accessible rate as part of my IAYT-accredited practicum, with ongoing mentorship and supervision.
In Eastern traditions, the heart and mind are understood as one — what yoga calls citta, and what my Reiki lineage, Usui Reiki Ryōhō, names the heart–mind. I believe in a whole-person approach to care because body, mind, and heart are inseparable. Mechanistic approaches divide what is naturally whole.
True healing begins when we honor the wholeness of being human.
