About Me

After many years of self-exploration and study into the healing arts, Kathy opened Inner Balance in 2005 in Palo Alto, CA. She introduced hypnotherapy for stress management and motivation at Silicon Graphics, Network Appliance, Electronic Arts and other Silicon Valley tech companies. Kathy taught gentle and restorative yoga classes and workshops throughout the Bay Area. She developed and facilitated Yoga4Healing classes at El Camino Hospital, California Cancer Care (CCC), Cancer Support Community (CSC), and Stanford Hospital & Clinics.

​

Kathy completed the Certified Healing Touch Practitioner (CHTP) program through Healing Beyond Borders, a non-profit organization endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses Association. She participated in CSCP Healing Partners, a community service program offered through Stanford's Cancer Supportive Care Program that pairs women diagnosed with breast cancer with Healing Touch volunteers who provide free weekly sessions for three months. 

​

Kathy relocated to Florida in 2014, where she continues to deepen her integrative approach to wellness with the addition of qigong movement and medical qigong therapy. She is certified in the Cloudwalker Mind Body Healing System for qigong movement and Medical Qigong DMQ with Lisa VanOstrand of 3 Treasures Healing in Miami, Florida. Kathy is a  Usui/Holy Fire®III Reiki Master with The International Center for Reiki Training, founded by William Lee Rand.
