“I invite you to come to a space where, in this moment, you give yourself permission and allow the sensations within your body to organically unfold.” – Kathryn Kuppan

Kathryn Kuppan is the Owner and Principal Teacher of Somatic Studies Society, a dedicated space for holistic wellness and transformation.

Kathryn started her journey obtaining her diploma in Personal Training and Nutrition through NCSF (National Council of Strength & Fitness), which then lead to her studies and certification as a Holistic Wellness Coach through IAWP (International Association of Wellness Professionals).

Kathryn continued on her journey when she was opened up to the undeniable fruits of incorporating Yoga into her own personal practice as well as her clients training sessions. Kathryn continued to dedicate her time by completing a 1000-hour Somatic Yoga Therapist designation through Mandorla Yoga Institute in Calgary Alberta, mentored by the Owner and Founder, Stefani Wilton, where she was also awakened to the modality of Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice which complimented her Somatic Yoga Therapist training, so she completed her level 1 & 2 Certifications as an Integrative Somatic Therapy Practitioner through Integrative Somatic Studies Institute Inc., mentored by Owner and Founder, Ratha Chek and fellow colleagues.

Kathryn is dedicated to continuing her studies and mentoring through various modalities that uplift and embody a deeply rich and empowering Somatic Lifestyle through other valued professionals, such as Rachel Scott, Owner and Founder of Rachel Scott Yoga and Shai Plonski, Owner and Founder of Still Light Center, just to name a few!

As a certified Trauma-Informed & Integrative Somatic Yoga Therapist & Holistic Wellness Coach, Kathryn is passionate about guiding individuals toward holistic well-being and happiness. She firmly believes that the key to achieving life’s goals lies in taking a proactive and integrative approach to health and wellness.

Kathryn’s specialization lies in helping both women and men navigate the complexities of the mind-body-spirit connection, particularly in managing the effects of grief and loss. Through the powerful modalities of Trauma-Informed & Integrative Somatic Yoga Therapy, Somatic Thai Yoga Massage, and 360 Degrees of Holistic Wellness Coaching, Kathryn offers personalized sessions tailored to meet your unique needs.

These sessions are designed not only to help you find regulation in your nervous system and ease in your body but also to gently guide you in releasing body-stored trauma and self-restricting patterns that may be impacting your health and relationships.

With a compassionate and nurturing approach, Kathryn creates a safe space for you to explore, identify, and release emotional and physical tension, allowing you to reconnect with your authentic self. Her goal is to support you in feeling grounded, open, and empowered to discover and express what is true to you.
