Before the philosophy, there was a story.
Kate's work has been shaped by two decades of clinical practice, thousands of conversations about what it means to be human, and a life that has asked her to live the questions she now explores with others.
It began with the body.
Kate trained as a naturopath and nutritional medicine practitioner, beginning her career in clinical practice in Australia. Working with people one by one, she came to understand that the body rarely tells the whole story. Beneath the symptoms are often deeper questions about how we live, what we carry and what it means to truly feel well.
A different kind of healing.
In Bali, Kate co-founded Natural Instinct Wellbeing, an internationally recognised retreat centre that brought together the physical, emotional and deeper dimensions of healing. Over more than 15 years, she helped create and facilitate transformational retreats, guiding thousands of people through profound periods of change. It was here she witnessed what becomes possible when people have the space to reconnect with themselves — and what it takes to carry that change back into everyday life.
Life has been its own teacher.
Motherhood. Illness in her family. Seasons of uncertainty, loss and profound change. Kate's understanding of life's thresholds has been shaped as much by her own experiences as by her work with others.
Alongside this, she has spent decades studying across disciplines and traditions, learning from teachers and lineages around the world, always seeking a deeper understanding of what it means to be human.
She knows that the moments that change us most rarely arrive with a map. They ask us to reconsider what we believe, what we trust and who we are becoming.
Finding the words for what matters.
Kate is the best-selling author of The Essential Cleanse, with a foreword by Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. Her writing continues through Love Harder, a weekly correspondence exploring the deeper currents that shape us, meaning making, and what it means to remain human in a fast changing world.
Where the inner work meets the outer world.
Today, Kate works with leaders, founders and organisations to build the internal capacity to navigate pressure, change and uncertainty without sacrificing their health, relationships or sense of self. Through executive advisory, speaking and bespoke corporate retreats and immersions, she creates experiences that invite leaders to step out of the demands of daily life, reconnect with themselves and develop the capacity to lead with greater clarity, self-trust and perspective. Her work draws on decades of clinical training, facilitating transformational retreats around the world and a deep understanding of what it means to be human.
