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 Transformational Healing Guide 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 purposeful life. But behind the accolades was a silent struggle.
I had spent years in survival mode, driven by unprocessed grief from losing my mother to breast cancer at nine and by generational wounds that taught me love and acceptance had to be earned through achievement. I believed I didn’t deserve rest or joy, and that if I just kept pushing, I’d never be abandoned again.
Exercise became my identity, my anchor of safety and survival, my way to outrun the ache inside. Controlling my body and pushing through pain helped me avoid the deeper truth:
I was still that frozen nine-year-old who didn’t feel safe without her mother, still chasing the love I had lost.
But decades of anxiety, perfectionism, emotional suppression, and relentless pressure left me with chronic fatigue syndrome, gut inflammation, and a completely dysregulated nervous system. My body was screaming the truth I’d been too afraid to face.
Something had to change.
In February 2022, everything cracked open. On a challenging day with a dying patient, alone 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 truly feel.
Letting go of the illusion that something outside of me could give me the love I longed for.
Allowing the long-buried grief to rise.
Meeting the parts of me I had hidden away to survive.
And realising that the love and peace I had been searching for were always within me.
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
Within each of us is a core essence, a unique soul expression of Source; Love. Peace. Joy. Truth. Bliss. Wisdom. Compassion.
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, ancestral, and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, who have cared for these lands for thousands of years. I am deeply grateful to live and work here, and I honour their enduring presence, stewardship, and connection to this land.
I’m surrounded by ocean and forest, and nourished by deep soul connections, quiet mornings, and the beauty of walking through ancient nature.
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.
