Currently Katherine's psychotherapy focuses solely on her private sessions, couples work and group workshops.

She was a dedicated student of Roberto Solari until his death in 2018. She currently works with Advaita teachers Francis Lucille, and Lisa Cairns as well as master teacher Dr. Richard Moss.

Regardless of sexual orientation our sexuality is essential to who we are as human, sexual beings and a large part of how we relate with one another.
