Hi, I’m Katy.
I am a teacher, healer, mother and artist.
I have worked in the healing arts for over 20 years, beginning my training in 2003 (you can read more about that below).
My journey has taken me many places, and I have studied a wide variety of physical, spiritual and holistic modalities that I weave together through my offerings.
I am passionate about creating healing spaces that are transformative, empowering, safe and inclusive.
It is my honor and privilege to share with you what I have learned and to hold space for your healing and transformation.
I look forward to working together.
In gratitude,
Katy Pavlis (they/she pronouns)
Training and Background
