Is this you?
- You’re a giver, and proud of it.
- You make sure everyone else is taken care of first.
- You’re who people go to for…well, everything.
- You’re the one who holds it all together.
- You (possibly) work in the service industry; being of service gives you meaning and purpose, and you're good at it.
- You have an enormous heart.
- You know you're here for a reason that is sacred and unique.
But also…are you burning out? Here are some possible signs:
- You chronically over-give–give more than actually feels good to do--and often end up feeling resentful or depleted
- You wish you had time for yourself, but rarely do or feel guilty when you take it.
- You have a hard time saying no.
- You secretly resent or envy people who seem to have no stress and all the time in the world.
- You’ve normally been calm, cool and collected, but lately have been having big, inexplicable feelings breaking through like grief, anger, irritability and rage.
- You find it difficult to rest and enjoy life while so much suffering is present in our world.
Sound familiar? I know what that's like. But I bet something else is also true.

You have felt it.
Somedays you can see it in a glimmer in the sunlight or hear it in that small inner voice.
You have probably had moments of clarity and insight that have left you without-a-doubt aware of a world intelligent and alive and of which you are a part.
You know that there’s something more than the daily grind, and you've already started moving towards it. A slower, deeper wisdom inside and around you. You know this in your bones.
But often life moves so fast it’s really hard to hear it.
And that big heart of yours? Well, you barely have to look around for it to feel like it is constantly breaking.
If that’s you, then I have some good news and some bad news.
The bad news is that you’re on a greased shoot to burn-out.
The good news is: I’ve been there, and I think I can help you reroute that trajectory and access your own innate strength and resilience while bringing your gifts forward in deep service to our world.
My hope is that not only do you steer clear of burnout, but that you also are able to orient yourself and your kin, community, and ecosystem towards our shared strength and resilience so that all life thrives.
In this FREE 5-day experience you will get the essential guidance to shift overwhelm, to connect to your innate resilience, and take sustainable action in harmony with your sacred calling.

"I would absolutely recommend working with Kate. I have been able to get some grounding, answers and opening in some areas that were always so tender and wounded and have a grounds to do healing work around them, supported by Kate and a greater community. I had been searching out something for so long and when I worked with Kate, we found part of it and began a healing process with it. It was actually life-changing. Or life-illuminating....... Or some other wondrous adjective like that!"
Beth S.

"Working with Kate allows me to connect more deeply, on a more intimate level, with my spiritual work, my guides, the earth. Having connection to he circle and Kate's journey has opened up my own path, strengthened, and challenged me."
Heather Evans

"Kate is deeply wise beyond her years...She has an incredible gift of guiding you to your own wisdom and discovering the resources within your own body. She has deep knowledge about somatics and healing trauma in the body, in addition to her deep commitment to anti-racism work. [Working with Kate provided me with] incredible support to develop trust and strength in my own intuition and deep knowing."

HI! I'm Kate Fontana.
And I've been where you are. If all you're 'doing' never feels like enough and leaves you feeling exhausted and powerless, I'm here to tell you that you can change that and I can help. I knows first hand how it feels to be overwhelmed, stuck, powerless, or about to burn out in the face of the relentless troubles of our time.
I understand how many people are longing to feel more nourished, grounded and joyful in their bodies and life.
I believe that deep engagement in service to our world and living well in our bodies do not have to be incompatible.
Over the last 15 years teaching and facilitating 1-on-1 and group practice, I have had the privilege to support hundreds of people come into deeper relationship and alignment with their own body, spirit, ancestors, human and more-than-human allies and the Earth; and rise to the challenge of living courageously and joyfully in service to our troubled world.
My clients are folks who are deeply immersed in service, attentive to social, systemic and ancestral patterns of trauma and discord, needing sustenance for the long road: therapists, social workers, parents with small kids, educators, activists, and care-providers. I've helped these anchors of community well-being live from that deep center of wisdom that connects us to all of creation.
I am psychic, priestess, mentor to the spiritual fringe, and founder/steward of The Sanctuary Northwest, a center for trauma resilience and cultural restoration. I’m also a recovering ‘nice white lady’, workaholic and angry activist, trying to live more aligned with my body, my ancestry, the world, and my human and more-than human kin.

Through my unique earth- and body- based offerings, I help big-hearted folks on the spiritual fringe connect in down-to-earth ways to your innate resilient center, and nurture reluctant unconventional leaders on your sacred priestess path.

A deep bow of gratitude to my many guides, teachers and allies of the visible and invisible realms.
I have been greatly shaped by the wisdom of my own body, the earth-based cultural-spiritual traditions of Ireland and South Asia, the invisible web of ancestral and elemental forces that support all life, and the ecologies and ancestral lands of the Coast Salish peoples on which I live;
I also am thankful for the cultural/animist somatic work of Tada Hozumi, and the now dissolved Ritual as Justice School; to Dare Sohei, Larissa Kaul of Animist Arts; the sacred activism of the Roman Catholic WomenPriest movement; Christian and Yogic mysticism, the New Monastic and interspirituality movements; and the many friends and collaborators in these various field.
It is with gratitude to each of them, all my teachers and guides, and all of the stewards of the wisdom traditions worldwide, known and unknown, that I make this attempt to respectfully hold, share from, and evolve my small piece of the puzzle. May it be one small offering of honoring my lineage and reconnecting it back to the composting Earth.
Now it's your turn.
Right now in these turbulent times the world needs you navigating from that deeply rooted place. This free experience will help you rediscover and nurture the innate resilience and divine wisdom in you so that you can live and lead with joy.
