In this heart-centered and thought-provoking conversation, Katie sits down with mind-body physical therapist and breathwork facilitator Kento Kamiyama to explore the essence of spirituality—beyond religion, dogma, or labels. Together, they dive into what it truly means to feel connected, whole, and real.
Kento shares his own journey of learning to pause, release perfectionism, and find meaning through connection—rather than constant self-improvement or “fixing.” Katherine and Kento unpack the ways spirituality, vulnerability, and playfulness intersect with emotional and physical healing, and how pain can often be an invitation to reconnect with ourselves and others.
You’ll hear candid stories, reflections on the link between fear and pain, and reminders that healing isn’t about becoming pain-free—it’s about realizing you’re never truly alone in the process.
Whether you’re a healer, a client, or simply someone curious about the intersection of body, mind, and spirit, this episode offers grounded insights and inspiration for living and healing with more presence and compassion.
