We recently connected with Kat Beck and have shared our conversation below.
Kat, appreciate you joining us today. It’s always helpful to hear about times when someone’s had to take a risk – how did they think through the decision, why did they take the risk, and what ended up happening. We’d love to hear about a risk you’ve taken.
I worked in a cubicle for 9 years as an administrative assistant. I loathed driving to my job every day. But I felt completely stuck; I just couldn’t figure out WHAT I wanted to do. When I began reconnecting to my body through energy work and somatic practices, my life slowly then suddenly began to shift.
As the tension and trauma my body held for decades melted, my passions and purpose revealed itself. It started with doing my first yoga teacher training. Three years later, I took a huge risk after having a very vivid dream where I saw myself working with a client, shaking a rattle and moving my arms strangely over their body. It was weird but it woke something up inside me. I told my husband that I needed to quit my career and go back to school for massage therapy the next week.
I completed school and took another risk by going directly into starting my own business. Since working for myself, I have created my own modalities instead of sticking with traditional yoga classes and massage therapy. With each risk I take to step outside the box, my soul frees more free.
Kat, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I got into the healing arts because it is what transformed my life; I grew up with anxiety, chronic pain, a rare autoimmune disorder, and PTSD (the root of it all). I felt completely disconnected from my body for most of my life. When I was sexually assaulted at 25, dormant childhood trauma activated and I shut down.
The puzzle pieces of my life started to click and I came home to my body when I began working with energy healers and doing somatic practices. I was intrigued and felt a deep resonance when I began learning about energetic and somatic work. It didn’t feel like I was learning, it felt like I was remembering something I’ve done for lifetimes. The work I now offer in MYSTIC MEDICINE is what completely changed my experience of life.
I help you transform your relationship with our body, reclaim your power, and liberate your soul. I work with mystics, moms, and entrepreneurs whom are ready to break free from the past and be a guiding light for other’s healing journeys.
I teach a method I created called MOVEMENT MEDICINE. This transformative method brings you home to your body by cohesively combining yoga, energy medicine, breath-work, dance, yin yoga and sound therapy. I have virtual classes in my membership community, EMBODIED MYSTICS and teach workshops locally in Greenville, SC. Students have told me these classes have brought them deeper into their body and truth than decades of talk therapy.
I work one on one with people to release the issues in your tissues and reveal energetic patterns from childhood that have kept you in cycles of chaos. I commune with the elements from Chinese Medicine to read subconscious emotional states. I speak with your cells to somatically rewrite your story in the body. My sessions reconnect you to the voice of your soul and support you through seasons of major life changes, I’ve watched my clients step into their genius and step out of situations, careers, and relationships that were draining their life force.
I work with people whom are truly READY. They’ve been doing “the work” in some way for a while, but still feel “stuck.” Our issues are in our tissues, which reflect in our reality through the mind. For true transformation, we need more than therapy, we must rewrite the story your body tells and restore the organic blueprint of our lightbody.
Your body is a quantum computer. Unresolved e-motions (energy in motion) imprint upon our body, creating patterns in our connective tissues (fascia) that communicate with the nervous system + shape the way we perceive our reality. Dense energy (frozen light) distorts the organic coding (information) of our lightbody (fascia + auric field).
MYSTIC MEDICINE weaves the physical body, subconscious mind and energy field to holistically heal and expand our consciousness.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
I am a licensed massage therapist/bodyworker (SC 11560) and 500 RYT, yet I don’t use either of these modalities traditionally. I don’t teach a normal yoga class and my bodywork is anything but basic.
I’ve set myself apart in my market by creating my own modalities. For a while, I felt like it held me back, as it was difficult to put words to the experience. After a couple of years of seeing the transformations in my client’s lives, the words came through clearly. It was as if my body knew what I was doing before my conscious brain did. Which is how my work actually works- we go through the body to change the mind.
I also believe creating community has helped build my reputation. I have an incredible online community I’ve connected with though instagram. I also have a NEXT LEVEL badass crew in Greenville, SC, again, thanks to instagram. Community is the key to true healing. Connecting people is a gift I’ve always had and I am so grateful for people I’ve found online and in my town.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
I used to be deep into new age spirituality. In 2020, I clearly saw the distortion of information that keeps people in healing loops from new age dogma. I was taking my work out of the body and into things that were popular: past lives, starseed origins, moon rituals, the chakras, etc. I knew that stuff would sell because it was gaining popularity. But it felt out of integrity as the corruption of the teachings came to the surface. I decided to stop doing that work even though it was profitable.
I pivoted to what my soul really was calling me to do: reconnect people with their body to liberate their soul. Since doing so, my creative process has flowed. My direction feels so clear. I am truly on mission and making a business out of it. It is a dream come true and this is JUST the beginning.
