episode 039: Kate Horsman

Holistic integrative practitioner Kate Horsman has an aura of warmth and inner beauty that orbits around her. The former professional ballet dancer works with a wide variety of private and corporate clients, supporting them on their healing journeys.

She was born and raised in Vancouver, and started dancing at the age of three. Both naturally gifted coupled with a deep passion for ballet, she quickly excelled—by nine years old, she was already at the Canada's National Ballet School. Kate then moved to New York, after being accepted into the School of American Ballet, but her health took a hard turn. Kate eventually left ballet as a result, realizing dance was no longer her happy place. This started a journey of coming back home to herself, and shifting into a deep calling to support others in their lives.

In this conversation, we explore growing up in a household with two chronically ill parents; her experience in ballet and how it taught her about embodiment; the difficult shift in identity when she left that world; taking her counselling degree and finding herself pulled toward nutrition and merging that with other energy modalities in her work; her chapter as a stylist and what that showed her; the concepts of achievement and perfection; what she’d tell people suffering from eating disorders quietly; learning to trust oneself and body; and much more.
