Katie Winder

Katie is a compassionate trauma-informed yoga teacher and somatic healing practitioner offering supportive, body-based approaches to nervous system regulation, embodied presence, and post-traumatic growth. Rooted in her own journey with anxiety, depression, and Complex PTSD, Katie guides individuals with sensitivity, choice, and paced co-regulation — creating space for healing that honours each person’s unique needs and capacity.

Trained extensively in trauma-sensitive methods and embodied practices, Katie brings a wealth of knowledge including Trauma Informed Yoga (100 hrs), Trauma Sensitive Yoga (20 hrs), Somatic Experiencing® foundation training, nervous system-focused yoga modules, counselling skills, and therapeutic yoga studies. Her background also includes traditional 200hr Vinyasa certification, therapeutic yoga specialisms, sound healing, and ongoing continued professional development in somatic trauma work.

Katie offers tailored 1:1 somatic and trauma-informed yoga sessions, therapeutic yoga, and longer-format 12-week Trauma Informed Yoga & Somatic Healing programmes designed to support nervous system stabilization, somatic awareness, and presence-based integration. She also serves clients across the UK via online sessions and hosts group intakes that combine nervous system education with embodied practices.

With an approach that prioritises safety, agency, and empowerment, Katie holds space for those healing from trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, and related symptom patterns — inviting you to reconnect with your body and begin gentle, grounded healing at your own pace.

Alongside her somatic and trauma-informed work, Katie values finding joy and regulation through creative outlets, time in nature and most recently, rediscovering her relationship with art expressions and somatic dance. She sees creativity as a nervous-system-friendly way to access play, curiosity, and pleasure, supporting moments of lightness alongside deeper healing work. Whether through art-making, visual exploration, or simply immersing in natural environments, Katie encourages clients to reconnect with what feels nourishing, grounding, and alive — honouring joy as an essential and meaningful part of the healing process.
