Welcome to Season 2 of The Holistic Woman Podcast. My name is Kate Payne. I am a women’s health yoga therapist, trainer & mentor with more than 2-decades of traversing the healthcare landscape. During this time I have seen the detrimental impact of a 1 size fits all model of care for women. 

In these podcast episodes you’ll find a collection of open & expansive conversations with teachers, therapists and wellness practitioners with a shared vision for women's empowerment, whole body health and healing. 

Together, we’re dismantling outdated health norms and fostering a space where women can reclaim their health, voice, and individuality.
