Kat has spent over a decade making wellness feel like it belongs to everyone. Not just the people who can afford a studio membership. Everyone. The park resident. The nonprofit staff member is running on empty. The executive who has never once been asked how their nervous system is doing.

That commitment took root in the early days of Be the Change Collective, when Kat co-directed the Conscious San Jose Festival – a free, community-rooted wellness festival that drew over 1,500 people and proved that San Jose was hungry for exactly this kind of space.

Her work is grounded in a foundation of psychology, somatic therapy, spirituality, and nervous system science. She holds a certificate in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy from The Embody Lab, a certification in Alignment-based Hatha Yoga from Body Temple Yoga, and brings training in mindfulness education and nervous system regulation to every room she enters. Her approach is grounded in research and guided by intuition.

At the heart of everything she does is a simple truth: well-being already lives inside you. Her favorite part of this work is planting those first seeds – introducing people to the innate tools they already carry, like breath and their own senses – and watching that awareness grow. This work is grounded in spirituality as much as it is in science. Because true well-being tends to the body, mind, heart, and spirit. That moment when someone realizes they don’t always need to go anywhere or buy anything to feel better. It’s already there.
