About Me
Hello and Welcome!
I’m Kate Dillon, the heart and soul behind my embodiment practices and healing modalities.

I cherish my time with my family and being in nature, and honour my calling to help people like you reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom, discover your wild essence, and experience life with greater vitality and presence, through the beautiful modalities I offer.

My Journey Home to the Body
Life changed so much for me with the birth of my first son.
My heart cracked open and I was led into places I had never considered before.
I found myself exploring Aware Parenting, taking onboard attachment parenting, all the while dealing with the left over impact of a birth that left me numb, feeling dis-empowered and struggling to breastfeed.
Finding out I was pregnant with my second son came as an unexpected shock. This became a catalyst for so much change.
With some listening support I began to connect to my inner realms, my feelings and emotions for perhaps the first time.
I researched more about pregnancy and birth, connecting to how I truly wanted to mother my children. These experiences would later inspire me to become a certified Birth Doula.
A Pivotal Moment
In 2013, I started attending a feminine embodiment yoga class.
I used to feel numb, shut down and stagnant. I felt disconnected from my body wisdom, my emotions, and generally lacked a sense of vitality and pleasure in life.
I still remember the day when I felt its profound impact on me.
I had been standing by the fireplace feeling so much sadness and grief. There was a sense of energetically turning my attention to meet and see these feelings. For the first time, I stayed with the big feelings and allowed them to move me as I cried and sobbed.
I realised I had come to this meeting place of being with, rather than running from these feelings, because of all the practice I had of slowly meeting myself in these yoga classes.
That moment was key for me to really connect to the growth I had made without even noticing. A nourishing gift I was only just beginning to see the potency of.
I didn’t need to DO anything, but just BE.
I had started to enter my own internal mystery with the gentle movements and their intentions in a circle of other women moving at their own pace. The energy of that container supported me to drop even deeper into presence with my own body and feelings.
This changed how I approached my relationship with my body, ultimately shaping the healing work I share today.
Following My Calling
Somewhere along the way, I allowed the gentle whispers of my intuition to take center stage. And in one such class, I had a vision of me sharing these types of circles, in my own way, with other women.
So I said YES.
I came across an amazing style of dance as a way to connect into our bodies wisdom and signed up for the teacher training.
I LOVED it.
I put all the pieces from this modality into my inner cauldron with all the other embodied movement I had immersed myself in over the years and birthed Embodied Dance Circles.
This became a personal practice for me and felt so wonderful that I created the first ever Embodied Dance Circles.

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege to train in multiple healing modalities, each building upon the others.
In 2020, I completed my Birth Doula certification with the Australian Doula College.
I had the wonderful opportunity to support the birth of 5 of my nieces and nephews! I loved being in the birthing space.
In early 2021 I was inspired to head to Queensland to learn Ka Huna Massage.
It was such a wonderful retreat that I returned a few months later to complete the next level of training.
I began to offer this Hawaiian style of massage from my home-based clinic.
I went on to complete more training in Heartworks Lomilomi and Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage with the Blissitute of Living Aloha. This deeply informs how I now offer and hold space for clients.
Coming Full Circle
And in a beautiful synchronicity, Shakti Yoga found its way into my inbox and in 2022 I completed my 9-month teacher training in Shakti Yoga with Jasmine Rose.
This journey was a deep dive into the magic of feminine yoga and embodied practice. I loved how the practice of Shakti Yoga put my body, my womb, my full experience as a human woman at the center of practice.
To really come home into my body, my senses, my feelings and all that is me, is powerful medicine.
And so Shakti Yoga Flow was birthed, evolving from the Embodied Dance Circles.
I love that I now get to be part of this medicine that has supported and contributed to me in so many ways!
Understanding Your Journey
I understand the challenges of feeling disconnected from your body, struggling with numbness, and longing for more vitality and pleasure in your life.
I’ve walked this path myself.
That’s why I now love creating nurturing, sacred spaces where you can safely explore your inner landscape, supporting you to experience the profound homecoming to your body’s wisdom that changed my own life.
Each session or circle I facilitate is approached with a blend of gentle guidance, intuitive awareness, and deep respect for your unique journey, as we meet your body exactly as it is.
What I Offer Today
I’m passionate about supporting people to deepen their connection to their bodies, which I do in these four ways:
🌺 Spiritual Hawaiian Lomilomi Massage
For all people, I offer this nurturing and flowing relaxation massage to provide deep relaxation, space to de-stress, and feel connected, rejuvenated and pampered in body, mind & heart.
🪷 Transforming Touch
In these sessions, people are supported to increase regulation to their nervous systems. Touch is offered to key areas of the stress physiology to bring more balance between the physical, intellectual, emotional & spiritual self.
🔻 Shakti Yoga Flow
I facilitate women on a movement journey through a womb-centred yoga practice. Women are guided to turn their gaze inwards to nourish their relationship to their womb, their heart, and their voice. Being able to fully inhabit and express from these powerful centres enhances a woman’s vitality and widens their capacity to feel more pleasure and aliveness in everyday life.
🌹 Womb & Fertility Massage
In these sessions, you can expect to be treated like the goddess you are! Not only is this a deeply relaxing, non-invasive and thoroughly nourishing physical massage treatment, it is also an emotional and spiritual journey. These sessions are for any woman who enjoys feeling cared for and tended to, in a way that can restore balance in the body.
Your Journey Awaits
Within my offerings, you’ll find the space and guidance needed to reconnect to, and nourish your body’s wisdom as you reclaim your wild essence, blossoming into the fullness of who you desire to be.
During my own journey, I have experienced wild imaginings, potent energy, heartbreak and joy, the magic and mystery and deep love simmering, twirling and dancing in a wild concoction of humanness being explored by the Divine within my own inner felt sense.
My Invitation to You
I welcome you to join me in this wild, passionate, and deeply fulfilling venture of knowing your body as a temple of revelation and wisdom.
May we feel it in our radiant and carefree smile.
May it be scented on our skin, and in our sweat and tears.
May it be seen in our movements and wild dance.
May we taste with pleasure the ripeness of our fullness, its sweetness and spiciness.
May it be heard in our ecstatic sounds and uninhibited expressions.
May we know it in our bodies, our bones and our blood.
May we BECOME who we are here to BE.
With love,
Kate
