As a Queer and Non-Binary, Trauma-Focused Yoga Instructor in Chicago, I support and guide students to holistically heal, grow, and empower themselves along their journeys. Through our work together, I will embolden you to look inward, connect with who you are, and envision the beautiful life you deserve.

We are all on our own journeys, and the practice will reflect that: no two practices will look the same and what works for some may not work for others. I look forward in supporting you on your healing journey with yoga & mindfulness.

Keep sharpening your knife and it will blunt
Chase after money & security, and your heart will never unclench
Seek others’ approval of you and you will be their prisoner

Do the work, then step back. The only path to serenity””

Welcome to Radical Healing with Kathleen Katsikeas

I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m an integrative, holistic therapist and yoga instructor; I believe that there is empowering and radical healing in the connection between mental health and the body. As a practicing clinician, I am available for therapy sessions through Center CBM. As a trauma-focused yoga instructor, I teach public classes through Room to Breathe, along with corporate/office and individual yoga sessions. Would love to connect with you!

Best wishes,

Kath
