Meet your self-care guides!
KATE ROBINSON is a yoga teacher and Zenthai Thai Shiatsu massage therapist based in Bendigo. Kate’s mission is to create a space that connects you to your own innate knowing, the natural rhythm of your breath and intuitive movement, giving you the opportunity to release old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you. When we cultivate a deeper connection to ourselves physically, emotionally and energetically, we can each create a sense of peace, calm and belonging that comes from within. This inner attunement ultimately connects us more deeply to each other and to the world around us as a whole. During our time together, Kate will support us to tune in, slow down and bring relaxation and ease into our day through soft restorative movement, and everyday somatic practice.
