Kate Horsman is a Nature Based Holistic Therapist and Breathwork Therapist. This field merges her education and work as a Professional Counsellor, Therapeutic Breathwork Facilitator and Mindfulness leader in Vancouver, BC Canada, the sacred and ancestral lands of the Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh and Musqueam Nations. Passionate about supporting individuals through brave conversations and embodied wisdom, Kate’s practices and experiences facilitate a reconnection to self and soul, using integrative methods to cultivate healing. Foundational to this heart opening work, is creativity, curiosity and compassion. Her education is dimensional including multiple modalities to approaching healing work. Her schooling has brought her to Professional Counselling (VCCT) Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Nutrition (CSNN) and Plant based science (eCornell) melding the bridge between the mind/body connection which lends to some of her specialization in mental health. More recently however, Kate has spent the last 4-5 years studying Ancestral and Alternative healing through Therapeutic Breathwork medicine which is fast becoming a tool for wellbeing, longevity, and trauma resolution and healing. Her training may be diverse but not nearly as extensive as the life she attributes for both finding her purpose, successes and healing for herself. She credits a dynamic life of challenges and triumphs, sorrows and griefs that has lead her to a depth of understanding that engages clients in creative, compassionate change. Kate works in her Private Practice in Vancouver, BC with her one on one clients who seek her work both locally and internationally. Some of this work is happening in and amongst nature which has been a beautiful co-facilitator for both Kate and her clients. In her spare time, she has worked with organizations such as lululemon, Aritzia, Microsoft, MDA Space and many more on their Health and Wholeness programs as well as non for profit and philanthropy work with organizations such as Face of Today, providing services to those with limited access to support. Above all these things, Kate is an avid animal lover, writer and poet, and spends most of her free time in nature as well as in ceremony with the land. She is passionate about food and plants, the planet, as well as design and art… and a good meme or two. Find Kate here: https://katehorsman.com we're so grateful to you for listening.
