Kat Purvis
Craniosacral Therapy, Yoga Therapy, Health Coaching, and Therapeutic Movement
My own journey into this work began after experiencing a concussion that profoundly changed my life, my relationship with my body, and my understanding of what it truly means to be healthy.
Recovery wasn't linear, and it taught me that healing isn't something we can force — it unfolds when the body feels safe enough to do what it already knows how to do. That experience ultimately led me to train as a Craniosacral Therapist and deepened my understanding of the nervous system, embodiment, and the remarkable capacity our bodies have to adapt, regulate and heal.
Today, I bring together Craniosacral Therapy, Yoga Therapy, Health Coaching and therapeutic movement to support people experiencing pain, stress, injury, concussion recovery and life's many transitions. My approach is grounded in the belief that we are more than our symptoms. Every experience we have is shaped by our body, our nervous system, our relationships and our life story, and true healing begins by listening to all of these with curiosity and compassion.
Rather than trying to fix people, I see my role as walking alongside them — creating the conditions where they can reconnect with themselves, build greater capacity and resilience, and rediscover the innate wisdom and healing capacity already within them. Whether we're working hands-on, moving together, or simply creating space to slow down, my intention is always the same: to help people come home to themselves.
There is much to be said for the aftermath of a session being feelings of peace, joy and mental clarity. Kat, you are excellent at what you do. You’ve started me on another wellness journey that I knew I needed!

Kat is a truly wonderful therapist who has made a world of difference in my healing journey, as well as my larger life. She listens with beautiful empathy and her care is deeply felt. She is incredibly skilled in her work as a cranio-sacral therapist, energetically sensitive and attuned, and has been able to support me back into a state of regulation from which I have then been able to heal. After every session, I am left feeling more centred, calm, connected to myself and able to move through the world with gentleness.

Kat came into my life at exactly the right time. I had just finished a very busy job and was several months post-concussion. Within the first session a lot was uncovered, her understanding nature and knowledge of her practice was exactly what I needed to feel safe and let my body do the talking. Having experienced a significant concussion herself, Kat knew where I was at and was able to tune in to my body immediately. I cannot recommend Kat enough -- she clearly is a natural. I am thrilled to recommend Kat, her skill and approach to individuals experiences makes her an excellent practitioner.
Kat thank you for your openness and bringing yourself to your practice, I wish you all the best for your ongoing career.
