About

Welcome

I’m Katie, a certified Somatic Trauma-Informed Coach and Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) therapist. My work is deeply rooted in helping clients navigate life’s blocks—whether in relationships, career, or personal health—and is especially transformative for women dealing with anxiety, emotional eating, chronic health conditions/ unexplained pain, low self-esteem, and self-worth challenges.

My Story

My journey into this work was born out of years of personal struggle, including disordered eating, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, pmdd, co-dependence and low self-worth.  I felt like something was wrong with me for my entire life, and approached my healing journey as someone who was broken and in need of fixing. 

I undertook a profound 10-year personal healing journey with a traditional psychotherapist when my mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given just a few months to live. I explored my family history, trauma, and attachment styles and learnt so much about my ‘process’.  But despite gaining insight, I found that real transformation only began when I worked with a Somatic Therapist who included Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Somatic Experiencing. This somatic work was when I first felt safety in my body, learned to regulate my nervous system, and began the profound journey of reparenting my inner child.  Today, I live with a deep sense of peace and purpose, and I no longer identify as a victim of my past or as someone always in need of healing.

Alongside my personal healing journey, I have continuously studied and immersed myself in learning.  I worked as a nutrition and fitness coach, where I noticed that while many of my clients achieved remarkable results, others struggled to make lasting changes. This curiosity led me to dive deeper, studying Somatic Trauma Informed Coaching, Rapid Transformational Therapy and Mind-Body Eating Coaching.

My approach as a Coach and Therapist combines the science of nervous system regulation, somatic healing, and parts work to support clients in profound, gentle transformation.

Thank you for being here. If you’re ready to take the next steps in your healing journey, I would be honoured to walk beside you.

Meet Katie

Katie O’Rourke is a mum of two, business owner and Somatic Trauma Informed Coach and RTT Therapist. She is passionate about helping women overcome blocks that are holding them back from being their true self and living their best life. She specialises in helping women with anxiety and issues with confidence, self-esteem, health and emotional eating. Prior to working as a Therapist and Somatic Coach, Katie worked as a Nutrition and Fitness Coach and became fascinated with the deeper reasons that her clients were struggling to reach their goals. She now combines RTT with Somatic Trauma Informed Coaching and Mind Body Eating Coaching to help transform women’s relationships with themselves. Katie’s passion comes from her own lived experience of anxiety, panic attacks, eating disorders, low self-worth and grief. She worked with a psychotherapist for many years, but it was only when she started working with a therapist who also combined therapy with Internal Family Systems and Somatic work, that Katie experienced profound shifts. Training as a Somatic Trauma Informed Coach, which combines both these life-changing modalities, has enabled Katie to support her clients to the fullest of her abilities. Joining the Mental Wellbeing Company as a Brand Ambassador has been a natural next step for Katie, to be able to educate and inspire, and reach more people with this incredible work.

My Philosophy

I believe that everyone has an innate ability to heal and transform. It is so easy to reject and push away the places within us that we struggle with. By connecting to and understanding our nervous system, and by building a relationship of compassion and nuture towards all parts of ourselves, we can profoundly impact our relationship with ourselves and others.
