Kathy empowers her clients to reconnect with their "true nature" through movement, breath, nature and the arts. She shares these ancient practices for modern living enabling every individual to experience their inherent sense of clarity, calm and vitality. Her style is simple, do-able and is imbued with a sense of ease and humor…fun and functional, peaceful and practical.
