Honest work for the human heart.
Photo by Jen Dean PhotographyI write, speak & teach to help people put their pieces together.
My work is simple: honest words, real conversations, and practices that help connect with all that you are & know. You don’t have to (but you can) do yoga, meditate, or “believe” in anything to belong here. You just have to be curious about what’s real for you ~ and willing to show up for it.
Reflections
My reflections used to be just the way I opened a yoga class ~ a few honest words before we moved. Now they live here: for couches, commutes, and cracking-open hearts. Meet them in your own way, use them as you see fit.
My hope is that they offer a small moment of meaning in the middle of it all.

Prefer to have them all at your fingertips?
Photo by Jen Dean PhotographyHi, I’m Kathleen
I’m a teacher at heart, most particularly of yoga asana & meditation (though I’m forever a student of the human experience). Honestly, I’m a true manifesting generator & gemini ~ moving between ideas, starting shit I don’t always finish & lavishing in the laughter that comes with forgetting where I am half the time. I spend a fair amount of my days absorbed in ideas for multiple books, a television show or two and taking long walks in the Maine woods with my dogs.
I offer workshops for yoga & movement studios for teachers and students who want to delve more deeply into the sacred parts of their practice.
I designed a wellness app to support women in developing radical self-acceptance.
I help to lead conversations to organizations and small groups about ditching performative “balance” and actually living by your core values.
I’ve jointly created a website to help women navigate perimenopause.
*I also thought it might be pertinent to tell you that I’m actually qualified for all the things I offer. I am a registered E-RYT 500 & a teacher on staff for Illumina Yoga and their yoga teacher trainings. I have a BA in Communicative & Theatrical Performance, alongside certification in the Science of Happiness and functional physiology.

It’s part storytelling, part reminder ~ complete with an experiential process for each participant. -
For communities, families, or individuals who want to bring deep work into daily life. This is where we put philosophy into practice.
I help people define their core values, and build a life that matches them.
I help people understand how stress shows up in the body and offer simple, real ways to find steadiness and connection ~ whether it’s for themselves and/or the kids they love.
*All work is specific to the individual even within a group setting.
