Kind Words

  • "Upon starting Yoga therapy with Kathleen, I had very poor body awareness. I have global semi-paralysis due to a neuromuscular disorder. Kathleen through her masterful yoga/other coaching has helped shine a light on feeling my body again and her luminous presence was teleported into my living room in every session."

She helped me find clarity on my goals and identify challenges I was encountering. Her guidance and coaching were critical to the breakthrough i experienced and I will forever be grateful for the process and lessons she brought to my journey.”
