Katie is a Fascia & Nervous System Specialist with over four decades of Taoist practice and a background in cultural theory, somatics, and embodied healing. She holds a master’s degree in Cultural Studies from Carnegie Mellon and brings extensive training in fascia as a living matrix, Taoist alchemy, and the neurophysiology of trauma.

Her work integrates Chinese medicine, nervous system science, and body-based sexuality into a unique approach called Neuroaffective Somatics—a system that supports regulation through resonance rather than control. Her sessions invite deep listening, slow unwinding, and reconnection with the body’s innate intelligence.

Informed by her lived experiences of brain injury, breast cancer, and late-diagnosed autism, her practice is deeply trauma-aware, sex-positive, and consent-centered. She specializes in working with therapists, sensitives, neurodivergent clients, and those navigating embodiment in complex times—including fertility journeys, identity shifts, and healing after disconnection.

She also brings creative and spiritual tools through two additional frameworks:

• Shentegrity, a Taoist-informed system of energetic geometry and embryonic resonance

• ZitterbartEscherBach, an artistic and divinatory lens rooted in Chinese cosmology and nonlinear systems

Queer-identified and deeply reverent of the body’s wisdom, she holds space for clients to move beyond nervous system “management” into true coherence—where healing becomes a return to self.
