Katherine
Singer is an acknowledged expert in a broad range of healing arts. Her
private practice, based in New York City, now focuses primarily on
spiritual counseling/healing and life coaching but she also continues to
practice holistic nutrition and the Alexander Technique. Because
Katherine has a diverse background both professionally and in terms of
life experience, she provides a well-rounded and balanced perspective
when advising her clients. Katherine develops relationships with her
clients based on trust and mutual respect, always honoring the
uniqueness of each client’s spiritual path.
Katherine has spent most of
her life learning about alternative medicine and studying a variety
healing techniques. She has also studied many different traditions,
philosophies and techniques that would fall under the category of
spirituality, including Native American and Huna healing traditions,
Rising Star Healing Work, Chakra balancing techniques, and cord cutting
rituals. Although not a “psychic” in the traditional sense Katherine
does at times channel certain messages for her clients. Katherine calls
it practical spirituality because it is spiritual in that it accesses
the unseen and practical because it works.
As a child growing up in
Connecticut, Katherine was a soloist in the Weston Ballet Repertory
Company. Dance and dance injuries sparked her interest in the body and
her obsession with its wellbeing. At age 15, she had already started
researching vitamins and their actions. Although she never danced
professionally, Katherine was very active in the dance program at
Barnard and performed with dance students at Juilliard.
Following college,
Katherine’s career initially took a corporate direction, beginning in
the marketing department at Time Life Books in London and including a
stint at MTV Networks in NYC. She soon realized, however, that her
interest in the mind and body could be ignored no longer, and she took a
job in the Neuropsychology Department at the University of Virginia,
followed by a position at The Journal of Neurosurgery.
Katherine’s interest in
combining her knowledge of the mind and body with a hands-on healing
technique led her to spend the three dedicated years it takes to become
a certified teacher of The Alexander Technique. Also, she significantly
enhanced her knowledge of nutrition by attending the Institute for
Integrative Nutrition where she subsequently joined as a staff member of
the school for two years while maintaining her private practice.
Katherine’s spiritual
counseling/healing and life coaching practice evolved when she
recognized how much healing and true life-change was needed, and indeed
required, in her nutritional sessions with clients. As a result, she set
about educating herself with formal training and teaching herself about
healing techniques. Katherine strongly believes that obtaining peak
health on all levels is not just about diet or exercise, and that people
need support to make serious changes that are lasting.
Katherine has a B.A. in
Anthropology from Barnard College/Columbia University. She is also a
graduate of both the American Center for the Alexander Technique and the
Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
Katherine lives in New York
City with her husband and son.
