Katie

Katie is the creator of NAHLA Community and has been holding space professionally for over a decade. She hosts weekly circles in Vancouver and online, and facilitates events and retreats. She is also a passionate yoga teacher and poet, which she weaves into her work regularly.

With an internationally-recognized coaching certification through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition in New York, Katie began her journey as a coach six years ago in the field of holistic health, primarily nutrition. Working with clients, she quickly realized that while the food we put into our bodies is of course important, what is even more vital in the support of wellbeing are authentic purpose, relationships (foremost with the self), and alignment. Other passions of Katie’s include nature connection and working with children, which combine in her work as an outdoor educator at Soaring Eagle Nature School in Vancouver.

Katie is deeply passionate about community building and sharing the profound impact connection can have on our vitality and empowerment. As a facilitator, she helps guide participants inwards to their innate, unique power, authenticity and alignment so that they can live the lives they’re meant for. She also continues to weave aspects of holistic health/healing into her spaces, including healthy habit creation and foundational homeostasis guidance. She believes “life’s curriculum” is never fully complete and that there are always more juicy edges of growth to uncover, but with deep self-intimacy and compassion spurred through the catalyst of connection, we can learn to dance through life and awake to the magic of it all.
