Kirsten Wilkinson — Somatic Coaching

About Kirsten

Kirsten Wilkinson, also known as Kaye, is a somatic therapist and movement-based practitioner who helps people restore a sense of safety, resilience, and connection in their bodies. Her work is especially grounded in trauma-informed care, with support for stress, anxiety, PTSD, sleep challenges, pain, and the lasting effects of overwhelming experiences.

Her path into this work was shaped by a serious car accident and a long personal healing journey. With a background in professional dance, yoga, and somatic practice, she brings a body-centered approach that blends nervous system support, movement, breath, and practical tools clients can carry into daily life.

Through Healing Motion, she offers individualized sessions, trainings, and mentorship for people seeking steadier wellbeing and for practitioners wanting a more trauma-informed way of working.

“Kirsten holds fierce space. Her methods are gentle but nuclear. Her personality is patient, kind and strong beyond words. She is a warrior you want on your side.”

Alex V. From website

“Kaye was right there to help support me along the way. I was able to witness firsthand the power of being 100% present for a client and what supporting them through their own trauma actually looked like. I look at every interaction with others differently now.”
