Kate Starr, MPH
Founder, Certified Nervous System Regulation Practitioner and TEDx speaker
Kate holds a Master's in Public Health, with a focus on behavior change and women's health, and is a Certified Nervous System Regulation Practitioner.
Her work grew out of her own experience. After career burnout and a history of complex trauma, she spent nearly a year on medical leave and set out to understand what was happening in her body, and what actually helped.
That search led her to develop SomaNeuro Alignment™, a framework that combines body-based movement, mindset and subconscious work, and practical lifestyle strategies.
Today Kate teaches through coaching programs, educational content and speaking. She gave the TEDx talk "You Are Not Broken" and has been featured in outlets including USA Today, Digital Journal and First For Women.
You're the expert on your own experience
Kate doesn't hand out a rigid daily routine. She brings the tools and the framework; you bring your lived experience, and your feedback shapes what we work on.
With a background in public health and behavior change, she knows change looks different for everyone. That's why the work combines several approaches, from somatic movement to mindset work, so you can find what fits you.
How we work
Education first
We explain how the nervous system works, so you understand the why behind every practice.
You stay in charge
You choose what works for you. Saying no to a technique that doesn't fit is part of the process.
Honest expectations
Everyone's experience is different. We never promise specific results, and coaching works alongside, not instead of, medical care.
