“I never knew what innerdance was before. I attended the facilitator workshop last minute without any prior experience at all but Katie let me join anyway. I believe nothing is coincident. I fell in love with the process and felt that this is something to complete my journey towards healing. I gained new insight. Before inner dance, I had other energy healing and spiritual workshops. I love how everything integrates n complement each other for the whole healing and releasing process in order to find the true self.
I met lovely people and for the first time felt so connected emotionally in the soul level to a complete stranger in some part of the workshop. It also helps me to break down the wall that I have put in order to protect myself from getting hurt.
Katie is wonderful, she's able to carry the whole workshop humbly and I felt she has an amazing personality. Our group was small but intimate, I feel deeply grateful for the chance to connect with everyone in a way that I have never imagined before, and knowing many transformations happening in others bring me real joy.”
“My life has just changed just back from a workshop with a woman who travels the world running workshops called inner dance which concentrates on inner healing and shifting bad energy in your body from past experiences and trauma.
I suffer from anxiety and severe pains caused by stress and the rest...i faced everything the night dealt with it and it's as if it's all gone and if you suffer from similar symptoms you'll do anything to make it stop.
Bear in mind this isn't for the closed or small minded but i know I have few friends on here who would benefit from this workshop.”
“It’s hard to find the words to express all the things that happened and changed in me during the Awakened Bellydance facilitator training. I’m grateful from my heart to Katie and the group for making this all possible. Katie guided us on a true path to find our inner true self and our beautiful power and inner goddess. Training was a safe place to listen to my inner voice. I realized during this training emotions and thought that I had put behind.
I discovered new things that my body offers and healing energies that I have. It felt realising to get those feelings out of my body which don’t serve me anymore. I got to know how I can be sensual, balanced and strong in my own power at the same time.
Katie brought us to realise how powerful the womens tribe can be and how many emotional wounds it can heal. How it feels like to be seen as you really are.
Breathwork, dancing, bellydance movements, clearing and cleaning gave me new energy to follow my highest potential and my own amazing way to be a woman! I look forward to continuing this powerful and wonderful process in Finland with women who want to discover their own, inner soul dance. I recommend this training from the bottom of my heart.
With my soul's dancing rhythm.”
“I feel subtle changes within myself after the innerdance course. The next day I decided to take a course last minute, before that I was in much doubt. I have more clarity and confidence than before.
In the innerdance course I felt the biggest shift after the part where each of us make connections. It made really examining things about breaking down the walls hahaha, even until now still thinking about it.
A lot of thoughts about boundaries, breaking the wall, making connections and such and a lot of flashing back, like I'm constantly re-examining my life and the events.
After the workshop I feel my level of acceptance and confidence about my real self is boosted up. Thank you!”
“Interesting things have been happening to me - people have begun helping me unexpectedly and many other things.
Sometimes I have the sensation like I'm on fire, as in fire / passion. I feel passion rising in me in a most inexplicable way.
I felt an infinite connection that is beyond words. The way I relate to the same situations is now different....
I have become braver, my throat chakra has been activated, I am saying things I wouldn't say previously; all in a good way for myself.
I feel that inner dance has made me more open to messages.”
“Thank you so much for innerdance in the UK and for helping me make that heart shift in Sept. I've been releasing profound grief and pain for some time and am willing that last bit to move and release gently. I had not realised how torn I was to still hold on to some of it in my heart. With my soul intention and your gift it finally lifted and released. My heart is once more light and expansive, so be it.
Thank you for your tenacity, gentleness and strength and for holding me when fear took hold. You have a great gift, to be a channel and to hold a sacred space of such purity. Bless you, with love, Xx”
“Possibly the most profound and quickest way to shift deep patterns and shadows that don't serve us any more - and a beautiful way to connect deeply, not only to ourselves but to everything. True heart connection xx”

innerdance
April 12, 2024 | Leicester, UK
innerdance is an internal movement meditation facilitated by sound, touch and intuitive words. Participants are invited to join a state of trust and surrender, leading to a healing and often shamanic type journey that connects the mind, body and soul in unity as sacred geometry. This is an inner adventure composed of natural movements, awareness, emotional release and insights. We start by comfortably lying down with eyes closed. The frequencies of the music being played guide the brain through various brainwave states, including those associated with lucid dreaming and deep theta healing. This leads participants into an expanded state of consciousness.
