About
Kathleen, "Kat," Cabanayan is a full-bred Filipino-American. She was born and raised in the now-extremely-expensive San Francisco Bay Area. Kat is a licensed acupuncturist, health educator, and a certified yoga teacher. She aspires to fuse movement, herbalism (Halamang Gamot), and bodywork (acupuncture, and Hilot techniques) as a means for deep healing from trauma, community healing, and community building. With a master's degree in public health, Kat recognizes that the acknowledgment of our individual and communal experiences inform our individual and communal health. Understanding and respecting the experiences of various communities is vital for pinpointing appropriate healing and health interventions.
In her downtime, Kat is an expert introvert (with some extroverted tendencies) who loves coffee so much that she can't wait to go to sleep so she can wake up and drink it. She’s a dog lover. She’s a scotch and gin collector. She excels in a condition called "tsundoku," Japanese for having-hella-books-without-actually-reading-them, but she'll get to them eventually.
