‘Only from the Heart, can you touch the Sky’ (Rumi)
Kate is an experienced professional Tantric-Tao practitioner and trainer, offering a holistic and therapeutic approach based on authentic Tantric and Taoist practices. She supports men with a range of sexual and intimacy issues, with expanding their sexuality, and bringing more love, vitality and wellbeing into their lives and relationships.
Many people experience difficulties with sexuality and intimacy issues at some point during their life, which can include emotional or physical trauma from childhood. Kate offers a professional and caring space to help clients reconnect with their body and emotions, let go of what is no longer serving them, and bring more natural energy and vitality into the body system. Koh Phangan provides an extraordinarily beautiful natural and nourishing environment for clients to step out of daily life, and come into deeper connection with themselves.
Kate is a certified trauma aware practitioner (Union Institute, Koh Phangan) and recently completed The Embody Lab Certification in Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy. She works within a code of Ethical Practice, which includes informed consent and client confidentiality.
Kate also teaches Tantric-Taoist practices, supporting men with cultivating and harnessing sexual life-force energy (‘Jing-chi’) for self-expansion, healing and long-term health. Simple Tantric-Taoist practices can be learned by people from all backgrounds. They are also an important (and often unexplored) part of yoga and martial arts practices, and a popular addition to Yoga Teacher Training programmes, and Muay Thai trainings on Koh Phangan.
One-to-one client sessions offer a unique and effective approach combining specialist Tantric-Taoist bodywork, coaching and (optional) homework for clients. Vortex Energy Healing Therapy can be included in sessions, to deepen transformation and healing. Kate can also recommend a package of options, together with other therapies and workshops available on Koh Phangan for visiting clients.
Kate has been leading group retreats, and training students in this field since 2017 in Europe and Koh Phangan. Yoga plays an important part in her life, both as a daily practice and life philosophy. She has studied with inspirational teachers worldwide including: Daniel Odier, Marlese de Cocheret, Clive Sheridan, Martin Beaudoin and Adyashanti.
