Kate began training as a Somatic Experiencing(SE) practitioner in 2014, and became certified in 2019. She has 12 years of experience as a yoga teacher, and began working with Prison Yoga Project in 2015, teaching somatic movement classes for youth and adults involved with the criminal justice system in San Diego, California. Through both personal experience and her work, Kate strongly believes in the impact of somatic practices in healing trauma, helping reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and increasing resilience for all ages.
