Aware and Unfolding

Center, Ground and Recalibrate.

Yoga Nidra for all of you.

Awaken to a Peace that Holds All of You

I believe that you deserve a sense of peace that holds all of you. A sense of space where you can unfold. Support to the wisdom of the energies of you body and mind and to receive them as messengers. Not as a way to perfect who you take yourself to be (I don't believe you need to) but as an opportunity to center, ground and come home to yourself.

From the parts of you that are messy and vulnerable to those that are wise and clear, sometimes we need a little support to remember the gifts of who we are at the core of our Being.

The practice of yoga nidra offers a path to do just that. To gently work with the energies of your body, mind and spirit, while rooting into a sense of expansive peace and well-being. In Kashmiri Shaivism, where yoga nidra finds it's ancient roots, it is taught that the true essence of who we are is not something to be found, achieved or perfected, but an inherent presence, a peaceful awake-ness, to be recognized. A sense of being that underlies all of our experiences and permeates everything.

You deserve to step into peace and to have support navigating the currents of energy running through your life so you can show up nourished and authentic in the world and express your gifts to help it be a better place for everyone. I offer both thirty minute mini sessions and 50 minute full sessions and am here if you have any questions. I would love to hear from you.

Kind Words

"Katy is the rare and gifted person you want to sit with to inquire into and explore insights with regards to your deepest nature at both the psychological and spiritual frontiers. She brings her years of meditative and life experience to each moment, offering her grounded, warm-heartfelt presence and keen ability to listen, reflect, and guide you without imposing, so you can settle deeply into yourself and come to your own direct understanding."

~Richard C. Miller Phd

"Katy has a gentle yet powerful presence that is incredibly supportive. She has the capacity to hold space for whatever comes up in a session; even if something feels like "too much", you can bring it and trust her deep listening and presence. She is gifted in the way she offers questions that lead to deeper insights and understanding.

If you are looking for a supportive and skilled practitioner, I highly recommend working with Katy."

About Me

Hi, my name is Katy (she/her)

My journey with Yoga Nidra, in particular Integrative Restoration (the style of Yoga Nidra Meditation that I teach), began in 2007 as a student at the Evergreen State College where I studied consciousness and contemplative education. I received my Integrative Restoration certification in 2010 and taught for a few years in Berkeley California before moving to India in 2015 where I spent the majority of the next nine years studying and practicing the teachings of Advaita Vedanta and Kashmiri Shaivism in ashrams and monasteries.

I offer these sessions out of a reverence for the wisdom of Kashmiri Shaivism and also out of a reverence for the way that I believe wisdom can awaken with you. I have experienced firsthand how Yoga Nidra can offer ease, clarity and peace without bi-passing what is raw and real about your life and, to me, that is so important. I don't consider myself a teacher, more of a friend on the path. In the eloquent words of Ram Das, "We are all just walking each other home."

Please note that I am a meditation and yoga nidra teacher, I am not a therapist and I do not diagnose or treat. Sessions are a chance to open and connect to yourself, no results are guaranteed.

"When I came to work with Katy I was struggling with anxious feelings and an inability to navigate the enormous to-do list on my plate at the time. Katy held gentle, non-judgmental space for me

to share what I was going through.

Our co-meditation felt soothing and clarifying. I was able to stay present with challenging feelings and sensations with so much gentleness, with Katy's encouragement and clarity. It felt nourishing, softening and supportive. After our work together I felt so much calmer, clearer and ready to focus on the tasks in front of me, so that I could actually feel accomplished and proud of myself. Katy is masterful at what she does, I cannot recommend her work enough."

~Susanna B.

"I initially met Katy about a decade ago and started working with her shortly thereafter. She helped me process the grief of my father passing during one of the darkest times in my

life.

Katy made space for my tornado of emotions and never held back. Her naturally warm energy helped me open myself up enough for the transformation I desperately needed.

I've seen Katy several times over the years since then and feel comfortable enough to work with her in years to come."

~Lillian Z.

"Off and on I struggle with managing chronic stress, anxious feelings, and overwhelm, but I feel more energized, peaceful, and grounded after Katy's sessions.

Katy's gentle, nonjudgmental approach and calming presence always make me feel supported and safe, and her steady focus on the present moment and true attentiveness during sessions help me carve out the time and space within myself for a focused and soothing session.

While Katy takes her work and commitments seriously, she also possesses a healthy sense of humor about herself and does not lead with ego-

instead she brings humility and joyfulness to these meditative practices.

I consider Katy a source of wisdom and support, and would recommend her guidance to anyone seeking to feel more accepting, confident, and more grounded in themselves and in life."
