I've uncovered that every doubt I've had could have been seen instead as a door waiting to be opened.
Lately, I have had the opportunity to challenge whispers of uncertainty safely, and it’s been nothing short of transformative.
I am grateful for this journey of self-discovery and newfound understanding, where I humbly confront self-sabotage and negative beliefs head-on.
Here’s to embracing the adventure within, one doubt at a time! 🚀✨

As I delve deeper into the realms of well-being, I’ve stumbled upon a delightful revelation: amidst the varied paths to wellness, there’s a common thread that binds us—the ability to listen to the whispers of our hearts.
When I tune in and trust my heart, magic happens. Fear takes a backseat, trust takes the wheel, worries evaporate, and in their place, anticipation dances with excitement, and hope paints the path ahead in vibrant hues.
This week, at the Leelanau Wellness Collective community event, guests had the pleasure of immersing themselves in a HeartMath experience guided by the dynamic duo, Ken Scott and Jessica Merwin.
In my most recent 2024 Adventure Blog I share more about Heartmath. Read more here https://katpalms.com/my-2024-adventure/2024/4/5/tuning-into-well-being-insights-from-the-heart ❤︎
Today marks the ending of one beautiful journey, and I’m happy to share I’d love you to follow along with me as I leap off into the adventure of my dreams.
I have posted my first blog titled “Embarking on a Journey of Wellbeing: My Aro Ha Adventure.”
I invite fellow seekers of wellness and enthusiasts of adventure to follow along as I get ready to embark on an exhilarating journey that promises to be unlike any other I had before.
Here is a link to my first post! https://katpalms.com/my-2024-adventure/2024/3/29/embarking-on-a-journey-of-wellbeing-my-aro-ha-adventure
I take off soon and I can’t wait to continue this conversation. It will be a deep dive into the depths of self-discovery, embracing the beauty of holistic living, and emerging as my most vibrant and authentic self.
Together, let’s journey to Aro Ha and beyond, as we unlock the secrets to living a life of profound wellbeing.

Powerful words on this 60 degree day in February 🫶🏻
I've started developing my own branded accessories because seeing my logo has been an important reminder for me. To now have it as something I wear has been incredibly empowering. I was pleasantly surprised as I started wearing my . They genuinely fit so nicely that it feels like I'm being hugged by the main message I need to hear daily!
I started drawing less-than-sign hearts back in 2015 when I was struggling with severe acne, but without realizing it, I was also struggling with difficulties due to undiagnosed ADHD.
As I've grown and learned, the symbol has come to embody so much meaning.
NEVER BE LESS THAN WHO YOU ARE DESIGNED TO BE.
Handwritten feedback hits differently. I feel confident all feedback is a gift, but when I ask for it, I am never sure what I might hear back. I am so grateful for the individuals who took the time to let me know how they feel about my new class ❤︎
With over a decade of training and certifications, I have crafted an intentional well-being practice :) I’ve poured my heart and soul into designing a program that honors the intricate workings of our bodies.
I teach self-discipline and empower students to embrace the beauty of working with an understanding of their bodies and minds. I hope attendees leave class a little taller, a bit calmer, and filled with more peace and happiness than before!
Within each of us lies the power to sculpt our best life, to thrive in every sense of the word.
Together, let’s harness the power in our palms to live our most vibrant, fulfilled lives, confidently honoring and supporting our bodies, minds, and souls.
With great pride and a humble heart, I would like to share I am now offering Reiki at a tranquil location overlooking West Bay in Traverse City!
As a newly trained Reiki Master, I am honored and grateful to offer this holistic technique for stress reduction, relaxation, and spiritual healing out of my teacher ’s beautiful space.
I have a slow process of becoming a client. I want to make sure the individuals I work with understand our innate ability to heal, how to listen to their intuition, and how to trust that their body speaks to them.
If you're interested in learning more, and diving deeper, I welcome you to message me. ❤︎
I am accepting appointments on Saturdays and Sundays between 1-4 PM. Spaces might fill up fast 😉

I’ve been working on this for over a year!! I’m so excited to offer this unique opportunity to our community!
One of the most complex things about ADHD is realizing it looks different from gender to gender and age to age. Seriously, everyone with ADHD looks different from person to person… but one relatable thing is the hacks we can use to support our executive functioning, self-talk, working memory, and organizational skills.
Many adults with undiagnosed ADHD are overachieving to mask their systems and find themselves in burnout.
A majority of youth with ADHD have a hard time comprehending why they can’t seem to fit in.
A neurodivergent brain can cause various other difficulties affecting the ability to function optimally in society. As an ADHD Coach, I aim to empower individuals with tools to thrive daily.

A lovely song 🫶🏻🙏🏻

While I treasure teaching classes of all sizes, private well-being sessions might take the prize..
As you know, I believe we have the power in our palms to live our best life. Yet, you might not know that one of my goals is to develop into one of the future doctors that Thomas Edison described in 1903.
"The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
In my private well-being sessions, I personalize classes to empower clients to use the modalities to support their daily lives.
Scroll below to view Doug's honest review! Doug inspires me with his commitment to care for his body, mind, and spirit. I am grateful to work with him, sharing my knowledge of caring for the human frame.
I asked to write me a review. My heart is leaping for joy at her genuine response about empowerment, peace, confidence, healing, growth, and the ability to incorporate well-being tools into daily life. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Now that's my goal!! I want everyone to know they have the power in their palms to live their best life. I want to share the knowledge and expertise I've honed for over nine years to cut the BS (belief systems) that keep us from shining our best light.
I want YOU to GLOW. It’s your birthright to SHINE.
As Miriam Williamson said, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
I'm already preparing for 2024, setting my goals, and being intentional with what I am creating.
Becoming an expert in well-being has taken me over 9 years. I now know I am equpied to help empower others on their journey in making sustainable lifestyle changes, improving their overall well-being, and achieving their personal goals.
Want to join me and a close knit community in acomplishing your wildest dreams for 2024 & beyond? DM for details. I can't wait to EMPOWER you!
Let’s GLOW ✨
There’s one thing I’m certain of… being well and having consistent level of well-being comes from knowing yourself and knowing how to care for your mind, body, and soul.

Interested in starting a morning routine of face yoga? Join me Fridays 8-8:30 am or practice with the recording 🫶🏻
This class will walk you through morning meditation, gentle stretch, and face yoga for the upper, middle, and lower zones of your face. For the month so September we are focused on our lips, mouth and jawline.
The practice will energize, strengthen, and tone your face, and will provide a great stretch to align your body for balanced posture, and will include time to connect to your mind, body, and breath.
The facial exercises help to stimulate facial muscles, tighten the skin and reduce signs of aging. By strengthening the muscles and engaging them in this gentle resistance training, you will increase circulation to the skin, improve complexion, and smooth wrinkles.
Take the time to give your soul the gift of this 30-minute class that will leave you feeling ready to move intentionally into the rest of your day. DM FOR DETAILS AND A LINK TO REGISTER ❀
