Kate Lister

Somatic Therapist

Kate has always sensed that the answers to our deepest suffering lie within ourselves. Despite this inner knowing, her profound insights were often drowned out by the cacophony of her mind, leading her to endure significant personal suffering. Driven by a lifelong commitment to learning, Kate embarked on a comprehensive journey to understand human anatomy, physiology, consciousness, and behavior—an exploration that continues to this day.

Her path has not always been marked by awe at her body’s capabilities; in fact, Kate struggled for a long time with body image issues and physical challenges. The journey of reshaping and reforming her body was often fraught with pain and symptoms, even as she sought to understand and improve it. Her body would sometimes scream in protest or reward her for her efforts, adding layers of complexity to her journey.

The turning point came when Kate’s relationship with her body shifted from one of struggle to one of love. It was only when she began to embrace her body with kindness that she could genuinely address and work through her pain and suffering. By slowing down, healing, and attentively applying her knowledge, Kate transformed her experience. Through this process of deep understanding and compassionate engagement, she repaired the ruptures and found a more harmonious relationship with her intelligent body.

Today, Kate's work reflects her journey of transformation. She shares her insights with others, helping them to navigate their own paths to healing and self-discovery. Her approach is rooted in the belief that by understanding and loving our bodies, we can overcome suffering and achieve a more meaningful, connected existence.
