77. Embracing your Tiger Stripes, Motherhood, and Self Acceptance with Kate Whorlow

Bodies change with pregnancy, but when you've got a complicated relationship with your body to begin with, this can bring it to a whole other level.

Kate Whorlow joins me to talk about her changing body image, how she learned to embrace her body and her tiger stripes through motherhood, and how she now finds herself at a place where she truly loves the woman she is, no matter what.

This didn't come easy, and didn't happen overnight, but for herself and her children, it was well worth it.

Kate Whorlow has been a Natural Healing Practitioner and Spiritual Wellbeing Coach since 1998, specialising in herbal medicine, aromatherapy and intuitive healing. Kate has been living with a chronic illness since 1994 and credits natural healing therapies for preventing her from ending up in a wheelchair or bed bound.

Kate loves to help others return to wellbeing by utilising these therapies and also spiritual healing techniques during her coaching and wellbeing sessions. Kate has her own range of organic loose leaf herbal tea blends, originally created to help with the challenges of being a parent during long school holidays. The range has been extended to help people with anxiety, chronic fatigue, digestive issues and essentially keeping the body healthy and balanced.

Above all else, Kate loves to help women find a way to put themselves first. Often we give to everyone else, believing that is our role in life, then forget to give to ourselves. Just five minutes a day for self care will give us the moment to breathe, be present in our body (grounding our energy) and recharge our physical energy, so that we feel calm, focused and ready to move forwards. 

Living in Cornwall in the far south west corner of the UK, with her husband, two teenage girls, daft Sprollie dog and elderly cat, Kate loves to make the most of the natural surroundings especially the beaches less than 20 minutes from her, as well as wildcrafting (foraging) for local herbs growing in the region.
