I wanted 2020 to be a year of clarity for me, but I didn't think something like this would happen, nor so quickly.
BUT… let’s face it. Some steps are little, and some are leaps. A woman I danced with, many years ago, named her business Leaping Feats. The image has always stuck with me, as has her continued courage and determination to live her life calling to bring the benefits of dance to our youth. So that is why I’m writing today. Because for me, today represents leaping a feat! The catalyst was seven years of roller-coastering through illness, anger, despair and loss with highs of new awareness, understanding, forgiveness and faith. The feat was a long struggle with myself: a long-held highly idealized version of who I wanted to be (control) against the reality of who I actually am (surrender). And the leap is leaving behind all the thoughts, beliefs and behaviours that no longer serve my/the highest good, while bringing with me all the ones that do. Yes, you might think this is silly or weird. I did too, at first. However, I can assure you. I've never felt so certain of anything. And it fills me somehow with a power, a knowing, that I HAVE ARRIVED.
So. I am no longer Kathi or Katherine or Anne. I've pruned and gathered and wove something out of all that, like a couple old jackets torn apart and made into something new: Hi, my name is Katanne. And I look forward to connecting with you on new ground :) PS. It will take some time for all my business and personal “paperwork” to change, so thank you for your patience and support during this transition time. You will still be able to contact me normally via my regular email, website, and facebook contacts. Such is the beauty of the tech world!

What Clients Are Saying"I was plagued by a myriad of digestive and inflammatory issues and after months of discomfort I was fortunate enough to meet Katanne. Her insight, intuition, knowledge and caring attention has made it possible for me to heal and thrive with a new understanding of the food I eat. I am now healthier, happier and have more energy than I have had in quite some time. " ~ Steve T. "Katanne gives well balanced information versed in first hand experience and research. After seeing various health professionals over the years, doing my own research, trials and tribulations, I can (say) that this is the real deal, and that what she provides people is a holistic, realistic approach to healing oneself through food" ~ Elizabeth G.
