About me - kolorful Kat burkhardt
Support for Your Transition
Being an artist is in my blood. I was simply born this way. From the time I was old enough to hold a paintbrush, I was creating. I played and experimented with many different mediums and never really found one that could fully hold my attention. I prefer to mix them all together to see what kind of friendships they can produce. That openness to explore different mediums has integrated well into my Breathwork and creative arts offerings.
I accidentally discovered Breathwork in 2018 when I went for what I thought would be a relaxing weekend at my aunt and uncle's house in Vermont. Lenny and Elizabeth Gibson own the nonprofit Dreamshadow® Transpersonal Breathwork and studied directly with Stanislov Grof. My first session was anything but relaxing. Instead it felt like years of traditional talk therapy condensed into just a few hours. It was intense, powerful and emotionally charged.
Because I was held in a safe and loving space while doing the work, I was able to connect with my inner healer and trust the process. I am deeply grateful for my teachers and their unwavering support, which allowed me to go deeper. I discovered a loving, inclusive community dedicated to their own healing and supporting others in the journey. From that moment, I knew I had to become an advocate for Transpersonal Breathwork.
In my career, I've been blessed with many opportunities for growth and expansion. The most profound lesson I've learned is that of adaptability and intuition. Embracing the flow of life, I've learned how to move gracefully with change, pivoting with gentle ease when challenges emerge and embracing the blessings hidden within each moment. Over time, I've learned to cultivate the deep trust of my soul's intuition, allowing it to guide me through the labyrinth of decisions and endeavors. It is through this dance of flexibility and intuition that I've not only navigated the twists and turns of my path but also discovered the boundless potential for growth, love, and spiritual evolution that lies within every step.
Times of transition are hard to navigate. My goal is to help you find and love yourself again. Together, let's uncover who you truly desire to be.
My personal journey to healing includes: divorce, addiction, CPTSD, sexual trauma, depression/suicide, codependency and an eating disorder. I know the commitment and dedication it takes to feel whole and complete. I cannot explain in words the gratitude I have for the quality of life I am able to live now. I know that this is only because of the hard work and dedication I have committed towards feeling whole. Let me help you find that gratitude for your life too. You are SO deserving of it!
I have many years of experience working with people in times of transition, uncertainty and grief. My presence, love and devotion to honoring the changing cycles of life makes me the perfect companion along your journey.

Professionalism and Experience
I am professionally trained as an art coach, SoulCollage® facilitator, and Transpersonal Breathwork guide. Having personally experienced over 20 Breathwork sessions, I have been facilitating Breathwork since 2021. I am certified as a Therapeutic Art Life Coach through Transformation Academy and hold a BA in Interdisciplinary Visual Arts from the University of Washington, with a focus on printmaking and ceramics.
Currently, I am enrolled in Psychedelics Today's Vital course, working toward completing their Psychedelic Training program by 2025. This fall, I will be taking the Soul Pages facilitation course with Rakefet Hadar. Additionally, I have a deep interest in Human Design, dream analysis, past life regression, and Tarot.
My vision is to create a thriving community of individuals passionate about personal development, healing, and authentic connection with others.
One of my greatest joys is helping people find their voice, heal their pain, unlock blocks within their bodies, and witness their full potential. I bring tools, understanding, and compassion to support you in creating the life you desire.
Taking the Steps
Calculated risk is necessary in order to grow and expand. There have been several times where I abandoned my current life for an unknown future simply because I knew that there was something better for me. And each time it was incredibly terrifying, but also freeing. Those were the moments that pushed me to my edges and forced me into uncomfortable situations where I had no other choice but to grow.
Committing to yourself on your journey towards growth takes a lot of courage and strength. It's a heroic commitment that will take time and dedication on your part. In my Creative Arts and Breathwork offerings you can take the steps to becoming the best version of yourself that you've always dreamed of and live your best life yet!
My commitment to you is to provide you with support, gentle guidance, understanding and compassion. Together, we will uncover and reconnect the many parts of yourself that are wanting to be seen by you. I can't wait to start your journey together!
