At this time Katie was also on her own personal healing journey. She was experiencing symptoms such as hormonal imbalance, “mystery” weight gain, acne, bloating, anxiety and more. As a dietitian, she wanted to utilize food & nutrition as her main source of healing, but found she wasn’t getting the results she desired with traditional clinical recommendations.
It wasn’t until Katie turned towards Eastern healing modalities that things started to change. She turned away from the recommended diets and began practicing intuitive eating. She implemented mindfulness activities such as meditation and breathwork which soon turned into daily spiritual practices. She began experimenting with different energy healing modalities and alternative practices. She was connecting with her body and soul in ways she hadn’t before, and this is when the healing happened. Not only did the physical symptoms resolve, but Katie felt light and radiant in her body. She felt more aligned in her soul’s purpose and at peace with her body and relationship with food.
Once Katie experienced this depth of healing firsthand, she knew she had to share it with the world! She mentored with reiki practitioners, certified energy healers and alternative health practitioners to open up her own intuitive abilities and learn how to provide this care to others.
Katie knew that finding a way to combine her Western medicine knowledge of nutrition with her Eastern medicine experience of alternative healing was the key to providing deeper healing.
