Kate Lynch
Embrace The Boundaries You Need As A Highly Sensitive Person
Hi, I’m Kate Lynch (she/her). I’m a trauma-informed yoga teacher and founder of The Compassion Club. For over two decades, I’ve supported thousands of highly sensitive people, helping them practice self-care in ways that feel safe and sustainable.Â
I know this pattern personally. As a parent with complex trauma raising an AuDHD kid, I spent years putting myself last until burnout forced me to pay attention. Selfworthy is part of how I’m breaking cycles of people-pleasing and self-abandonment.
My little neurodiverse family lives in a magical land called Brooklyn. If you’re tired of running on fumes, I see you. And I’m glad you’re here.
