Book Katrina to Speak

The Scientist
I earned my degree in biological sciences. I see the world through a scientist’s eyes, and I see the body and brain as a laboratory. I hypothesize, test, and collect data to see what helps people heal. I believe everyone deserves to have an understanding of how their own body works, which can then translate to a deep sense of gratitude for its brilliance.

The Classroom Teacher
I’ve been teaching as long as I can remember, from playing pretend to tutoring other students in the cadaver lab in college. I adored teaching in all my classrooms and the creative curriculum building that went with it. Those years allowed me to witness different ways of being intelligent, meet students where they are, and help them find a love of learning.

The Coach
As a high school cheerleading coach, working and having heart-to-hearts with teens showed me how much young people carry, and how much they thrive when someone believes in them.

The Survivor
I’m a survivor of an eating disorder, a school shooting, and an abusive marriage, and yoga helped me find my way back to my body and my voice. I know how deeply words and spaces can protect or harm, which is why trauma-conscious language is at the heart of everything I teach.

The Mental Health Advocate
I have studied neurobiology, but I have learned the most about brain science because I live with PTSD. I talk about it openly. Mental health is woven into all aspects of my teaching. When I speak, I want every person in the room to know they’re not alone, and that caring for your nervous system is a normal, human right.

The Astrologer
As a scientist, I can’t ignore how the moon moves the ocean. I’ve always been drawn to patterns, and the sky holds some of the oldest and most predictable patterns we have. Learning to recognize those rhythms in the body, mind, and heart became the bridge between my science and my somatic work.
