Mothering From Your Center by Tami Lynn Kent

Katie Sutherland is an energy medicine healer, teacher and holistic wellness practitioner who supports mothers to thrive and reclaim their empowerment and vibrancy while navigating the journey of motherhood and childbirth.

Katie has dedicated the past two decades to collecting and cultivating a wide range of tools and wisdom to support others on the path home to their inherent wholeness, wellbeing, and freedom.

Her travels around the world along with her studies in the wisdom traditions and healing arts have kindled in Katie a deep passion for offering rituals, circles and mentorship support to honor rites of passage in women’s lives.

Katie’s diverse background includes 1000+ hours of training in various bodywork and energy work modalities, Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy™, Holistic Pelvic Care™, trauma resolution, advanced craniosacral therapy,  seven years as a yoga teacher, as well as being a certified Integrative Health Coach.

Katie had a powerful initiatory experience through the birth of her beloved daughter, which ultimately held a key in the awakening of her greater purpose. Through the experience, it became crystal clear how important it is to tend to the birthing container as a sacred and intentional space.  

She realized through the painful sequence of events that unfolded when these elements were not present at her daughter's birth, that these subtle yet important aspects may impact whether a mother or her child will incur trauma.

The experience and her subsequent journey of healing and integration, lit a fire in Katie to be a champion for a paradigm shift around the reclamation of the sacredness of birthing. This was a catalyst for much of the transformational work Katie now shares in empowering and supporting other mothers.

She works with women one on one, in groups via her online course “Reclaim Your Birth”, and throughout the year in live circle journeys.
