I’m Kat, and I’m here to remind you that your body holds the map.

You are worthy of being seen, supported, and celebrated—not once you’ve “healed” or “figured it all out,” but right now, exactly as you are. My work lives at the intersection of nervous system regulation, somatic healing, and deep community connection. I’m a mother, a mentor, a guide, and a weaver of sacred space. Everything I do is rooted in one knowing: when we come home to our bodies, everything else becomes possible.

My own journey has carried me through shadow and softness, through reclamation and reverence. Along the way, I’ve gathered tools—somatic therapy, conscious communication, sacred sexuality, trauma-informed facilitation—and braided them into offerings that help you feel more safe in your skin, more honest in your relationships, and more in love with your life.

I don’t believe in fixing people.
I believe in returning them to themselves.
To the rhythm of their breath.
To the wisdom of their body.
To the kind of community that reminds them they’re not alone.

In my sessions, I hold space for all of you—messy, radiant, unfolding. We work gently with the nervous system, exploring your edges while anchoring in safety. I bring a blend of grounded masculine structure and intuitive, wild feminine energy—offering strength and softness, clarity and compassion, so you can move at the pace your body trusts.

Sacred Cords was born from the understanding that we are not meant to walk this path alone. Whether we are birthing babies, businesses, or boundaries, we need each other. The Sisterhood Directory is my heart’s offering to women entrepreneurs and/or healers—designed to transform competition into collaboration, visibility into vitality, and sister wounds into sisterhood.

As a teacher, I’m devoted to helping women feel confident in their unique magic. I’ve mentored hundreds of students and facilitators in trauma-informed, somatic practices. During my time with Somastery (July 2023–June 2024), I co-created powerful spaces for mentorship, community, and embodied leadership—many of which now live on through the Somastery Mentorship Program as well as the Somastery section of the Sisterhood Directory.

I believe emotional intelligence begins with the body. That connection is the antidote to shame. That self-love is not a concept—it’s a practice. And that healing becomes a revolution when we do it in community.

So if you’re longing for deeper connection—to your body, to your purpose, to the people you’re here to serve—I welcome you. Let’s reweave your sacred cords. Let’s honor the brilliance of your nervous system. Let’s build a life, a business, and a community that feel like home.

You are already enough.

And I am so honored to walk beside you.

Testimonials

  • Erin

    "Kiersten is a passionate, empathetic facilitator. A very giving soul, filled to the brim with love and compassion her lens of healthy sensuality and acceptance of sexual promiscuity makes her ideal for sex workers and any one with a relationship to sexual taboos. She can handle it, and instinctively sets boundaries with respect and does not block the journey needed to move into a healed space. I was able to speak about my past traumas and feel through my social abuse without feeling forced or insecure. I felt safe and able to engage in this healing process without judgement or fear. I recommend her for anyone who may feel too perverse or fearful of judgement or self-proclaimed to be un-fixable because she gives you grace and courage to interface with whatever mental or physical blockages that may prevent you from releasing your mental and physical pains or limitations."

  • Rachael Jencks

    "Amazing Session! Kiersten helped me connect to a part of myself I had not been listening to. I had been stuck in a toxic cycle in my business and I can now see the pattern and can show myself how to get out of it. I am new to somatic therapy and sometimes have a hard time connecting to my body and emotions and she made it easy. Since our session I am able to recognize the pattern and steer myself out of it - thanks!"

  • Rob Nugen

    "Thank you, Kat, for such an incredible transformation today. I felt so afraid to share what I told you. You held space for me in a beautiful way. Thank you for accepting all parts of me and letting me hear the words I wanted to hear as a little boy."

  • A.rae

    "Kat holds space, witnesses, and guides from such an incredibly genuine, compassionate and present space. She is a feminine powerhouse—while also a deeply tender soul. Kat inspires me to continue to evolve and grow as a woman and a small business owner. She has an innate ability to go deep emotionally, and also to look at the practical aspects of various issues, offering an empowered, invitational and solution-based approach, that’s infused with kindness, respect and strength, steeped in deep awareness & a nonjudgmental perspective. She understands, on such profound levels, the intricacies of humanness, sexuality, intimacy, healing, communication, and embodiment. Those who would work with her, or know her in any capacity, are truly blessed." 💜

  • Tim Reams

    "When my dear, longtime friend Kat graciously offered me an opportunity to do practice sessions for her therapy coursework, I was happy to oblige. If you are like me, you may be skeptical about who you engage with on a therapy level, but I knew I was in wonderful hands with Kat. When it comes to compassion and understanding, she is one in a billion and it shines through splendidly in a healing-focused scenario. Kat provides a warm, comforting sanctuary to rest within while guiding you gently through your inner and outer self. When you are with Kat, you are with someone who is not only highly capable of, but also enthusiastic about giving you the attention and guidance you may need to help overcome some of your current and persisting life challenges.

    Kat sessions with me took place during a time when I really needed it. I was going through some new and heavy struggles while still hanging out with my old ones, and it was hard to deal with on my own. Her friendly, enthusiastic sessions helped me to recenter myself and remain grounded while uplifting and empowering me to process the heavy strain on my body and mind. Honestly, I'd get sessions with Kiersten every day if I could, it's like taking your soul to spa day. If you've felt any kind of out of it in any kind of way or just need a boost of heartfelt sunshine in your life, don't hesitate to schedule yourself a session with Kiersten. You deserve to feel good, too, right? She can help, it'll be worth every cent and moment for you to get there."

    "Kiersten/Kat is clearly very dedicated to her path. She has already been involved in a number of groups and courses, and it shows. She takes everything she learns and pieces it together, without sacrificing the integrity of each method. She is incredibly inquisitive and meticulous, a rapid learner, plus an active participant as well as an organized leader in group settings. I would especially highlight that she is extremely gentle, informed, and considerate in her approach. I really enjoyed working with her and recommend her sessions if you’re looking to be highly cared for in a safe and non-judgmental space." ❤️
