How Katherine works
Sessions often start with a grounding exercise picked to fit each client, such as movement or meditation. Katherine builds custom exercises around the concerns a client brings. Work can include talk, movement games, somatic exercises, and boundary practice. Some clients also choose hands-on touch work. Many start with conversation and add touch over several sessions. Nervous system education and body awareness sit at the base of the work. Surrogate partner therapy usually runs 1 year, while somatic sex education can be one session or many.
