Kristen Yates

Kristen Yates is a breathwork and somatic guide, integrative therapist, artist and yoga instructor, and plant medicine facilitator who supports people with embodying their true nature and awakening their innate healing capacities within. With a background in psychology, trauma-informed somatic therapy, relational work and integrative wellness, she weaves Eastern and Western healing modalities to create safe and potent spaces for transformation. 

As a multi-faceted facilitator, Kristen guides her students through a journey of returning to their bodies, integrating their soul parts, and emerging with a deeper connection to their most authentic expression and creative gifts. She believes we all hold a deep wisdom in our bodies, and weaves movement, breathwork and embodiment practices with energy work, shamanic healing and intuitive guidance into her workshop and retreat spaces. 

A nomad at heart, she shares her time between Oregon, Mexico, and the Sacred Valley of Peru and regularly facilitates retreats, workshops, and ceremonies worldwide.
