Hi, I'm Kate!

I’m a counsellor and yoga teacher and I'm passionate about supporting women who feel burnt out, overwhelmed, and depleted by the demands of life. My therapeutic approach focuses on the nervous system and a somatic understanding of the body, helping us deeply explore and understand the reasons behind our experiences.

If you’ve been giving your all to everyone else and feel like there’s nothing left for you, I see you. I understand how easy it is to put yourself last, to ignore the whispers of exhaustion until they become impossible to silence. I know because I’ve been there, and I want you to know that prioritising yourself isn’t selfish—it’s necessary.

My own journey through burnout and chronic fatigue taught me the transformative power of slowing down, seeking support, and listening to my body. These lessons shaped my life and led me to dedicate my career to helping women like you rediscover their vitality and reconnect with their inner wisdom. In our sessions, I offer a compassionate and safe space where you’ll be seen, heard, and supported. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, work through challenges, and create a nourishing plan to help you step into a life that feels aligned, authentic, and true to you.

With extensive training in trauma, grief, mental health, polyvagal theory, and somatic regulation—as well as lived experience—I bring deep understanding of how nervous system patterns of protection shape our responses. Through counselling, somatic therapy, and yoga, I offer a gentle, grounded approach that explores pathways back to connection, safety, and embodied ease. It’s time to create space for yourself, to gently reconnect with what matters most, and to move forward with clarity and empowerment. Let’s take this journey together.

THE ESSENCE OF MY BURNOUT & HEALTH CRISIS

From Burnout to Vitality: My Journey
In my early 30s, burnout and chronic fatigue brought my life to a standstill. For years, I had pushed myself relentlessly, driven by busyness and a deep need to please others. I ignored my body’s whispers of exhaustion, relying on adrenaline to keep going. Eventually, I crashed—completely depleted—and was forced to confront the unsustainable pace I had been living.

In that restorative pause, I found a quiet stillness I had long avoided. I began to rest, reflect, and heal. The weight of life’s imprints on my nervous system softened as I made space for integration and self-discovery. Through this process, I began to reconnect with a deep wisdom within me—a knowing that had always been there, waiting to unfold.

Let me ask you:

Are you honouring your body’s natural rhythms, or are you caught in patterns of overdoing and over giving?
What would it feel like to truly rest and create space to breathe, reflect, and heal?
Could it be time to release the weight of expectations that no longer serve you?

This journey was not easy, but it was transformative. I let go of the ‘good girl’ persona and the need to be everything to everyone, and confronted the deeper wounds that drove my addiction to busyness and the 'people pleaser'. With the support of counselling, restorative yoga, and nourishing Ayurvedic and naturopathic practices, I reclaimed my energy, clarity, and vitality. I learned that healing requires more than self-care—it requires self-compassion, intentional support, and sometimes, a shift away from environments that deplete us.

Find Peace and Happiness with Nourish Your Wellbeing Counselling

Burnout isn’t just a personal struggle; it often reflects the pressures of toxic systems that value productivity over people. I experienced this firsthand later in my career, facing burnout again in a workplace that demanded everything but gave little in return. That experience deepened my understanding: true recovery and resilience come not only from personal healing but also from creating systems that support well-being and humanity.

My healing journey taught me the power of rest, reflection, and realignment with my authentic self. It’s about shedding the layers that no longer serve you and embracing your true nature with honesty and love. You, too, deserve to thrive—not just survive—and to live in a way that nourishes your mind, body, and soul.

If my story resonates with you, I invite you to explore more. Soon, I’ll be releasing my e-book on recovery and resilience, as well as sharing my chapter in The Pathway to Wellness, where I recount my journey through chronic fatigue and healing.

For now, take a moment for yourself. Grab a cup of tea and enjoy this heartfelt podcast conversation with Lorene and me, where we dive into burnout, what we’d tell our younger selves, and the restorative practices that help us thrive: Watch Here.

May you find the courage to find your restorative pauses, the support to heal, and the joy of returning to yourself. It truly can be easier—you deserve to live life on your terms, with a full cup to nourish both yourself and those around you.

With warmth and care,

Kate x
