Katharine Chestnut helps people who look fine on the outside but feel fried on the inside understand what's actually happening beneath the stress — and more importantly, what to do about it. Her work is grounded in mindfulness, breathwork and nervous system regulation, delivered in a practical, no-fluff way that resonates with people who are sceptical of self-care and tired of being told to slow down. She is the author of Inner Affirmations: Using Mindfulness to Connect to Your Inner Wisdom. Katharine is also a meditation teacher with several hundred meditations on Insight Timer and over a thousand videos on YouTube.
