Description

From yoga and embodiment to mountains and ultra running, I bring you a podcast that allows us to get to the heart of the wild, messy, complex living of the modern human being.


Welcome to a new form of ascension journey: an embodied spirituality for modern times - one that is grounded, centered in physical reality as we experience what it means to be em-bodied as the wild, beautiful, creative human beings that we are.


I get it. Times are wild right now, and I don't mean that in a good way. Here, we find the path forward that allows us to stay grounded, centered in the spaces that matter most. And, as we cultivate greater presence for the experiences that are unfolding in every moment, let us turn our gaze upwards, reaching towards that which brighter, more beautiful, and entirely possible to experience here on Earth.


Brought to you by Katie, a modern day Earth Priestess, and Embodiment Coach, teaching skillful connection with self, and further, into connection with this Planet Earth. Because you, as the human being that you are, are not here in these times to be taken down by the dark chaos that is happening. And, you are not here to embrace some spiritual bullsh*t that has you taking yourself out of the grounded experience of what is unfolding.


Here, I teach The Embodied Path - the ability to find your grounding, become centered in self, discerning your way through it all. The good news? When we do this, we get to experience life for the joy, the wonder, the beauty, and the bliss that is here. And, we get to solve the very real, serious challenges that our modern world is facing.


that unfolds as we deepen into our present, lived experience for all that it is in these wild, often chaotic, often painful and challenging, yet infinitely beautiful lives lived as human beings. An embodied spirituality: one that demands that we know our very real, very alive world here on planet earth as we simultaneously learn to go within, know ourselves ever-more-deeply, and learn the discerning path of healing, of transformation, and of wild & deep fulfillment. 


More about Katie....

When I left my life as a Biomedical Researcher in pursuit of a path that could truly help heal the world, I didn't expect my greatest teacher to come in the form of Earth, herself. But that's what happened! Along with guidance from a diverse set of ancient wisdom traditions (such as yoga, tantra, Buddhism, shamanism, and more), and along with the guidance of some phenomenal modern teachers, I've been able to carve out my own path out of a modern industrial complex and, moment by moment, learn to choose what is healing and nurturing and joyful and fulfilling for myself! Here, I teach this so that you can create your own embodied path as well.

As a trail runner and rock climber, it is my bond with the great outdoors that taught me deep truths about our misalignment with Nature and our own selves. Here, may we step into conversation focused on re-alignment with our true nature. Through it, may we find a better path forward as we heal the deep wounds cut into all living systems.

Systems thinking meets Embodied Living & Holistic Healing: Brought to you by the mind of a Biomedical Engineer turned Yoga & Meditation Teacher.
