About Kathy
Welcome
I am so glad you are here.
Hi, my name is Kathy. Allow me to introduce myself...
Sometimes you find yoga. Sometimes yoga finds you. My story definitely falls within the latter statement.
My mother was diagnosed with cancer and subsequently died in 2011.
Prior to that, I had just completed a 7-year osteopathy program, while I worked full time as a physiotherapist. I had 2 kids who were involved with their activities. Life was busy.
My claim to fame was that I was such an amazing multi-tasker so I missed nothing.
My mother’s passing triggered something in me. From the moment she was diagnosed, I cried every single day. Although I continued to work and look after my kids, emotionally I couldn’t cope. I was falling apart.
I tried to stop it. I tried to prevent myself from completely disintegrating.
I opened my long time dream of an integrative healthcare center. I completely renovated the kitchen. I planned elaborate dinner parties and continually had a vibrant social life.
But nothing worked. I fell apart.
In 2013, I left my marriage. I left my beautiful home and the life I had so lovingly created. And went to a one bedroom condo.
I lived in that condo with one chair, one bed, a TV and 2 place settings. I lived like that for 2 years.
Every day was the same, I would force myself to get up in the morning. I would go to work and ‘be there’ for my clients. Then I would come home, maybe have something to eat, and then lay on the floor until it was time to go to bed.
I had endless hours of therapy. All kinds of therapy. From traditional talk therapy to bizarre, esoteric therapy. I tried it all. Anything to help stop the pain.
Everything helped. For a while. But I stayed in the darkness. Not knowing how I can get out of it.
I met my yoga spiritual teacher in 2015 and that truly started my inner journey.
Through practices he gave me, through understanding my inner world, I slowly was able to crawl my way back to living in the outer world.
Everything I do now, how I conduct my life is only with love, compassion, and grace…. for myself. And let me tell you, this way of living is so much easier.
And now, I want to help other women like myself. Those who have worked so hard in their lives, to be successful, to be an amazing parent, to have given so much to others.
I want to help you live your life with ease and peace.
