Welcome! My name is Kat and I am the founder of Free Souls United, a trained breathwork facilitator and an Aussie living in Norway.
I created Free Souls United as a place where we can learn how to reconnect with our own inner guidance, purpose and power using grounded tools and practices. I particularly wanted to share the tools and teachings that had been so transformative in my own life and changed the way I relate to myself and others.
At 26 I first start noticing something wasn’t right. I had graduated law school and started a sought-after graduate role. After so many years of study and exams, it was exciting feeling that I was finally embarking on my adult life. At first I enjoyed the novelty of working in the centre of Melbourne amongst the trendy cafes and historical buildings, getting dressed up in corporate clothes to go to the office, and having the money to pay for nice things.
However after a while the novelty of ‘proper adult life’ wore off and the inner discomfort rose to the surface. I felt I should be happy – I had achieved what I had worked so hard for and I was acutely aware that I was on paper enjoying a life that the majority of those on the planet were not. But nonetheless I felt anxious, purposeless and lost. While I thought I was self-aware I had no real understanding of what was actually going on inside me. I was disconnected from my emotions and therefore, from myself.
It was by chance that I stumbled into the world of self development. I started learning about concepts such as shadow work, manifestation, limiting beliefs and the inner child. I started to look honestly at my past and connect the dots with my present-day reality. I saw how what I believed and felt about myself was consistently reflected back to me in my choices, thoughts, feelings, and the experiences that I was having in all realms of my life.
Discovering the inner work changed my life. I went from perpetually single to meeting the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, I formed soul connections with new friends and I moved London – a city that felt like a dream for me. However, while I did see massive shifts in my life and in my self-confidence, I still felt a lingering sense of discontent. I felt as though I could be happier and more connected to my emotions.
Something was missing but I wasn’t sure what. But breathwork would show me what it was.
You see, so far my healing had been focused in my head (which as someone who was always academic was a comfortable place to be). Our minds are powerful so when we do mindset work or subconscious reprogramming we can see big changes. However, only using the mind gets us so far. As I learned, to experience a deeper level of healing and happiness we need to draw upon the wisdom of our bodies too because it’s in our bodies that so much of our emotions and life force is stored.
Through the practice of breathwork I discovered we can use something that we all have and that we take completely for granted to move past our thinking mind and directly access our deeper layers of being. By combining this with the psychological and energetic principles I had learnt and applied in my life, I was able to connect back to the sense of safety, peace and expansiveness that I believe resides in us all.
Whether you are venturing into inner work and self-growth for the first time or have been deep in it for some time, I’m excited to support you in your adventure and I want to leave you with this:
Doing the inner work isn’t about making ourselves a project that we need to fix or obsess over. It’s not about trying to transcend our humanness and live as an idealised high-vibe version of ourselves. It is about connecting back with the truth of who we are so that we can feel good again and we can draw into our lives the exact kind of experiences, relationships and opportunities that light up our souls.
