My Journey
From striving to softening.
From holding it all together… to coming home to myself.

From Doctor to Healer
Hi there, I’m Kate Gibb, a Transformation Specialist and former NHS Doctor, here to walk with you on the path of deep, lasting healing.
For a decade, I was a respected medical doctor; research published, praised by peers, ticking all the boxes of a life that looked purposeful. But behind the accolades was a silent struggle. I was running on empty.
Using achievement and exercise to outrun the grief I had buried since childhood, after losing my mother at age nine. Controlling my body and pushing through pain to avoid the deeper truth:
Inside I was a frozen 9 year old who didn’t feel safe without her mother, and didn’t feel good enough.
Decades of perfectionism, emotional suppression, overtraining and relentless self-imposed pressure led to adrenal fatigue, gut inflammation, and a completely dysregulated nervous system. My body was screaming the truth I had been too afraid to face.
Something had to change.
In February 2022, everything cracked open. During a challenging day with a dying patient as the only doctor on the ward, decades of unprocessed emotion erupted. That day marked the beginning of the end… and the start of everything real.
My Healing Journey
Healing didn’t come from doing more.
It came from undoing.
Letting go of the mask.
Feeling safe enough to release control.
Allowing myself to feel - truly feel.
Allowing the long-buried grief to rise, grief I had carried quietly since childhood. Meeting the parts of me I had hidden away to survive.
And slowly, gently… returning to the essence beneath it all.
My journey took me from England to Vancouver.
From burnout and depletion to reconnection with my mind, body and purpose.
From the illusion of control to the truth of freedom.
And it’s from this place - from lived experience, from deep healing, that I now walk alongside others.

Why I Do This Work
I believe that within each of us lives a radiant core;
Love. Truth. Compassion. Peace. Freedom.
But over time, we become disconnected. Layer by layer, we bury ourselves beneath trauma, fear and old conditioning. We forget who we are in order to survive and to be who the world told us to be.
This is why I do this work.
Because true healing isn’t about fixing or striving. It’s about remembering. It’s about coming home to the truth that you are safe, loved and whole.
My mission is to help you gently shed the layers that no longer serve so you can live from your soul, not from your wounds.

More About Me
I live in Vancouver, BC, on the traditional and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
I’m surrounded by ocean and forest, and nourished by deep soul connections, quiet mornings, and the sacred beauty of walking through ancient woods.
I value intuitive, natural movement, that is no longer a way to outrun pain, but a way to come home to myself, led by love rather than fear or control. I believe true healing doesn’t arise from striving, but from softness, stillness, and self-compassion.
It begins when we stop running from pain and allow it to become the doorway to our freedom.
