Hey hey party people!

I’m Katelyn!

I thought I would take some time today to introduce myself because it dawned on me upon reopening this bad boy that I never told you guys who I am!

I am a HUGE yoga enthusiast - I found yoga when I was about 21, so roughly 4 years ago. Without knowing it at the time, I was in a really dark place spiritually and mentally; and one day I woke up for work early and said 

“I’m gonna hop on this yoga train and see what it’s all about”

Luckily the first video I found from Ali Kamenova (video here) was just what I needed and it was like selling my soul, I was hooked. The calm and intentional flow of a yoga practice was just what I needed to help my racing mind to be in the moment and feel safe.

(I’ll talk later about that dark place, but that deserves a post to itself)

I am 3 weeks into a massage therapy program at the Cortiva institute (Baltimore) and so far I am absolutely loving it -  I’m working on a project of a vision board for my Professional Development class and when it’s finished I plan on sharing that with you guys to give you some more insight into why I chose massage therapy and to give you an idea as to where I want it to take me in life.

On April 1st of this year, it’ll mark 20 years since the death of my pancreas leaving me a type 1 diabetic at the age of 4 years old -  Will touch on this in that vision board post I was just talking about. I currently am on an insulin pump, and will start posting about the new generation pump I’m getting as soon as I’m trained and hooked up and ready to go!

And lastly, I’m a logophile - a lover of words - Anyone who knows me personally can tell you that I;ll talk your ear off, but Im also finding in my growth that I a big fan of putting an actual pen to an actual piece of paper. Positive affirmations + quotes + poetry + books + journals… how can people not love these things!? Words are literally how you make feelings real. without a word to explain what you’re feeling no healing, compassion, or understanding can take place.

So that’s me.

Love + Light to you all!

Have a lovely weekend!
