Conversations with Kat

Join me in conversation with Natalie Goerner, MSW, Psychotherapist as we chat about all the amazing benefits of mindfulness, especially as a working parent or anyone who is leading a very busy life juggling many roles and hats.

More About Natalie:

I am a social worker (MSW), psychotherapist and a trained mindfulness meditation group facilitator. I’m a mother of two, a wife, friend, sister, daughter and have many roles, but at my true essence, I am an empath, a healer, and love to connect people to find growth in their own lives and seek out ways for myself to do the same.  I am ever inspired by the healing power of nature, music, and movement and practice consistent somatic healing methods both individually and in group settings. I strongly believe in the power of collective and community healing. 

I worked in the public sector as a social worker and psychotherapist for 17 years in mental health services and I have now moved into private practice, focusing on the modalities I have found to be most effective and the ones I am most passionate about. ​​

I strongly believe we have the capacity to hold both the light & the dark!

Join me in conversation with Kelly Mackay, Co-Owner of Morpho Bleu as she shares with us her journey with yoga, co-creating the studio, motherhood and more fun musings about health and wellness. A very uplifting and inspirational episode not to be missed! 

About Kelly:

A dedicated student of the practice since 2008, Kelly says that yoga has saved her and changed her life in the best way possible. The studio is an extension of her family — in fact, according to her husband, her love for her son Xavier is the only thing that exceeds her love for yoga.

Kelly is profoundly inspired by the different people and paths that find yoga. She has cultivated special relationships with many — part of her sangha, a Sanskrit term for community — and tends to these with love and care. She’s been a part of several retreats in Costa Rica with Sara, and is looking forward to going again soon; this time together as partners and co-creators of Morpho Bleu.
