Kate’s Philosophy
“When you make Self Care a habit, even a few moments at a time, you are better able to support yourself and others, in all areas of your life.”
Kate Forest

 

“Through personal experience I’ve learned that when I support and care for myself, I am better able to support and care for others with greater kindness, patience, love and attention.
I know that it can be very difficult to slow down our internal and external rushing and create space in our busy lives for ourselves, but it is possible and it is necessary. When we neglect ourselves and focus all of our energy on others, we often operate from a place of physical, mental and emotional depletion, which does not serve us, or those around us.

I believe that when we take the time to replenish and care for our needs, we have greater levels of energy, physical health, emotional balance and mental clarity, all of which serve us in better coping with our numerous roles and responsibilities. This gives us, and those we love, a better quality of life, a better quality of time, and can enhance all of our relationships; including our relationship with ourselves.

Over the past twelve years I have developed simple, short, and practical ways to integrate Self Care into even my busiest days and I am passionate about sharing these life skills with others. My intention as a transformative teacher is to help people nourish peace in themselves – so they can nourish peace in their relationships, their communities, and in our world.”
