Hi, I’m Kath. I’m a mum, a writer and a breathworker.
I first discovered the transformative power of the breath as a young adult, doing pranayama in yoga classes. I dived into learning about energy healing and did my first Reiki training at this time. I was also experiencing the healing power of music, dance and the Arts, and coming together as a collective to co-create and for social change. Later on, I completed my Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training and Reiki Master’s, and the dancing didn’t stop.
My interests led me to work with children, young people and parents in Community Arts Education projects. I was passionate about creating projects and spaces, especially for young people to share their voices and stories, and also about bringing more of the Healing Arts into the work.
I then got pregnant and when I had my son my own healing journey took a deep dive.
Motherhood has been the steepest learning curve and deepest healing journey.
From my son’s early years, I faced many challenges and subsequent years of ongoing trauma and stress. I suffered with severe depression and anxiety. I stopped dancing. My sister invited me to a week-long module with AIR School of Breathwork. I was very unsure, and the anxiety was excruciating, but I found the courage to let my heart lead and go.
Here, I began to put the pieces of a broken self back together. I started to learn to deeply listen to my own stories, and allow them to be seen and heard. I began to understand how transformational and healing this simple act of truly seeing and hearing another can be.
With the breath, I connected more and more to my innate inner wisdom, my creativity and to a trust in myself and life.
I began to learn how to deeply listen to my child and to trust his own innate inner wisdom too. I found communities of parents doing this, finding ways to support themselves, each other and their children, sharing our voices and stories... Learning, growing and creating together through the joys, challenges and traumas of life in the world of today... And sharing playlists for dancing in the living room.
Breathwork was my anchor and guide through the most transformational and challenging time of my life, and continues to be. I completed the breathwork practitioner training with AIR, so I could share this gentle yet powerful modality with others.
I’m grateful to have been able to continue to be part of and to co-create spaces for our voices and stories.
The pieces are still landing, and I’m continually in awe and gratitude of what unfolds, and the power we have to be and create the change we wish to see in the world, for all the children, and our Mother Earth.
