Personally, I can attest to this; Kat Hammonds’ work has changed the trajectory of my life. Working with her over the course of the last decade, I have found healing that has permeated gently, methodically, and fully into every layer of my being. I see the glimmers of it in my daily routines, my relationships, and in the ways I move through the world. I have worked with Kat in yoga and movement practice, where I learned the art of tenderly listening and responding to my body’s needs. She taught me an awareness of the natural breath, and how to utilize that life force with both moderation and integrity. Kat has a keen eye and noticed patterns in my breath and movement that I would have otherwise never attended to. Under her guidance, I was able to shift long-standing compensations and unwind pain cycles that I thought would never leave me. In our work with Ayurveda, I was able to learn about my deep needs and come to a place of loving acceptance for “who I be.” I’ve had the privilege of studying Ayurveda and partaking in Seasonal Resets with Kat. Through that work with Kat, I have been able to create daily routines that deeply nourish my core essence. I’ve found practices that replenish and renew and truly serve who I am, rather than who I think I should be. If practical magic exists in the world, then this is it! Kat’s work has given me both deep grounding and flexibility; these days I can actually roll with life’s seasons while remaining centered, loving, and aware.

Kat’s Intuitive and Shamanic work exists on a level all its own. I tend to think of myself as a “sciency” type. I like to understand the mechanisms behind why something works, and Lord knows I love some good research. This work, however, defies explanation about as equally as it defies expectation. I don’t know the “why” or “how” of it, but in the sessions I have gone through with Kat, she has been able to help me shift mountains. The changes have been shocking! Parts of my life that I imagined as immoveable, impermeable mountains have crumbled to dust. As that dust has settled, I’ve found peace and freedom (physically, mentally, and spiritually) that I couldn’t have imagined for myself before. Kat’s deepest talent is in seeing the unseen, in calling light into our darkest corners, and in bringing us to witness, with loving, unflinching honesty, all of our blindspots. With tenderness, Kat guides us from that place of newfound knowing onto a path of profound healing and love. Kat is a bright and beautiful light in this world, and words could never be enough to express my deep gratitude for her presence in my life.
