I’m Katie Nesbitt. My specialty is creating a safe and warm-hearted environment to find your way back to wholeness.
For the last decade, I have been teaching and consulting within the Yoga and Wellness Industry, working with thousands of people from all walks of life, and around the world to improve mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
My journey to mind-body practices and therapy began as a remedy for my own personal healing.
My journey of life has brought me a whole range of challenging experiences. As a child, I normalized the feeling of immense pressure from participating in high level competitive athletics. I had undiagnosed pain for most of my life only coming to find out at age 20 it was an autoimmune disease. The diagnosis initiated my interest in the health and wellness industry. Later in my 30s I went through an intense and unexpected shift in life, all while having to show up for my full-time job managing a corporate wellness programs, teaching yoga multiple days a week, and often leading weekend long trainings supporting so many others in their journey to growth and well-being.
All the while, I was the one needing the support. Something to help heal me, unwind the past, ground me into my body, and lead me to a more vibrant way of being. Although it took me far too long to find this realization for myself, it is my mission to help other women safely return back to their true selves through the body, nervous system, mind, and heart.
My first tipping point happened when I was studying at Northeastern University in Boston, MA. I was there on a springboard diving scholarship earning my degree in Sports Psychology. The stress was intense in that phase of my life. I was balancing academics, athletics, and a job as a child care worker. I had digestive issues I silently battled for years that were only getting worse, and I kept thinking that if I just pushed through and overlooked the stress and pain in my body and mind, it would all just magically heal itself.
The ignoring of my physical condition and mental stress led me to be hospitalized on the verge of emergency surgery to remove a portion of my intestines.
This was my wake up call. I needed to take control, put my own healing first, and make more mindful choices in my life.
I was ready to take healing into my own hands.
Although multiple medications were prescribed to heal the inflammation and pain in body, my mind was constantly on overdrive. I lived in silent fear, believing my body was a monster that I couldn’t fight.
Over 20 years ago, I took my physical and mental wellbeing into my own hands, beginning my path towards healing my personal health. Over the next 15+ years, I received additional education and trainings in: nutrition and wellness, coaching, food psychology, neuroscience, yoga teacher trainings, meditation and breathwork facilitator trainings, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) trainings, Brainspotting (BSP), Trauma-Informed Yoga, and an Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy program with top leaders in the emerging field of Somatic Therapy.
I am a forever student and practitioner in the area of health and wellness. I have witnessed major shifts in the life of those I work with, as well as my own journey, by focusing on deeply profound, yet easily practiced mind & body techniques.
My deepest aspiration is to spread knowledge and compassion, while guiding people out of stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and trauma into wellbeing – and remembering authentic joy in life once again. Our work together is not a one-sized fits all model, but a deeply mindful self study into personal mind-body connections and what makes our own selves feel best. It’s about utilizing a variety of techniques in holistic wellness, tapping into intuitive knowledge that resides within each of us, and stepping into a more authentic and mindful way of life that will truly transform mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
I am here to guide you to greater healing from a place of wisdom, safety, compassion, and unwavering support.
