“You completely expanded my horizon.”
“Katrina is a bright and inquisitive woman committed to an inviting and caring approach, an avid learner with deep integrity. A body storyteller, sensitive photographer inspirator, and life singer.
She embodies a practice of healing restoration that integrates a belief in deep connection and belonging to ourselves and each other.”

I wanted to reach out and let you know how grateful I feel to have attended your workshop…. I have been a dancer for many years searching for the words to explain to others how therapeutic movement is and have had such a desire to bring these healing elements into the field and am so thankful to have learned more ways to explain these things from you. You completely expanded my horizon and I learned so much from our time together that I am still trying to process it all! …It truly makes my heart so warm to know that there are people like you in the field doing the work you do.…Thank you again for inspiring me with your openness and sharing your knowledge.

“She has a beautiful way of building relationship and establishing heart felt trust.”
“It is with great pleasure I introduce to you my good friend and Colleague Katrina. I was blessed to meet Katrina over twenty years ago, when we participated in and completed a two-year Hakomi training program. In all my years I have never met someone so present, someone that can sit in the silence of the moment.
Katrina has the ability to create and hold a safe space while honouring the sacredness of each individual she works with. She has a beautiful way of building relationship and establishing heart felt trust. I hold deep respect for the healing work she does.
As a proud Indigenous Woman, Mother and Kokum, I have always felt “seen” and validated by Katrina.”

“gentle guidance creating space for you to blossom in your own time and in your own way”
"Katrina's enthusiasm and joy for fostering community and healing through movement is a gift unto itself. She offers gentle guidance to your own unfurling, creating space for you to blossom in your own time and in your own way. Leading by example, she illuminates an approach towards dance that celebrates aliveness, interconnectedness, sacred stillness, and the wild wonderful reaches of the self."

“Expansive, informative, joyful”
I have had the pleasure to attend Katrina’s dance classes and workshops since 2014. Katrina is highly sensitive, attentive, and attuned with an expansive movement vocabulary. Her instructions are always informative and joyful.

“There's an expansive quality to her presence…that invites a full range of self-expression”
“What is the magical blend that makes for a skillful teacher and facilitator of conscious dance? Classes with Katrina have shed some light on the mysterious recipe. First of all, she brings her tenderhearted strength and vulnerability to her teaching. There's an expansive quality to her presence--joyful, earnest, compassionate--that invites a full range of self-expression. She seems to intuit when to step forward to provide structure and support; she also knows when to step back and just witness the glory unfolding on the floor. Her facilitation never feels intrusive and has a quality of respectfully deepening me into my own present moment experience. More than anything, I want an experience on the dance floor (and in my life) of getting out of my own way and, paradoxically, being fully myself--letting the infinite dance/move through me in the particularity of my embodiment. Katrina's presence and holding of space have given me a delicious taste of that experience!”

“I highly recommend that you try her classes.””
“Katrina is a really great instructor that guides us through how to move your body, use space, and connect to others. Her positive energy is contagious and brings joy and brightness to her class. I highly recommend that you try her classes. Her classes encourage me to express my soul through body movement, explore creativity, freedom, expressing my soul, being in my own world and connecting with others”
-Rieko
"Working with Katrina I appreciate her profound professional background, as well as the passion and humor that becomes clearly visible in her teaching. She is an exceptionally gifted leader, therapist and dancer."

“I must thank you so so very much.. ”
“I saw your video about PENDULUM AND PULSATION. My story has many branches as everyone's: I am 62. Long story short, this video describes me perfectly - in hiding since 2006. I used to dance. I watched your video three times then finally pushed back chairs and cleared the floor. My new friend had been trying to get me to dance again but I still felt like a frozen block. As soon as i saw your legs fly up i stood up and started to move.. 'I am just going to move.. no promises just move.....and move i did.' I must thank you so so very much! Yes!
