biography

It was when katie discovered yoga that she finally became aware not only of the physical body, but the meta-physical. And so began her interest in holistic and conscious living. With the yoga permeating every aspect of her life, she traveled to Mysore, India to study with the today's chief proponent of Ashtanga yoga, Sri K Pattabhi Jois. It was there that she first came into contact with the Ayurvedic system of medicine. She came to understand how this practice was fundamental to the Indian way of life and integral to their spiritual beliefs.

She decided to embark on a four-year study of Naturopathy and Medical herbalism at the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London. She teaches at leading schools in London and returns annually to study in India with Sri K Pattabhi Jois and R.Sharath, his grandson, who have authorized her to teach this system.

Katie believes that one of her roles as a therapist is to educate and inspire people so that they understand where they are creating stresses in their lives and going out of balance and showing them manageable and realistic ways of making improvements.
