    The Power of Inner Child Healing and Community with Kathy Sanderson

    In this episode, I sit down with Kathy Sanderson, who, alongside her husband, has created a thriving community of healing, connection and family gatherings on their 25 acres of ancient woodland and meadowland in the South West. Kathy shares her deeply personal journey through the heartbreak of 12 miscarriages in four years, The healing modalities that helped her uncover the roots of her pain, and how inner child work transformed not only her own life but also her relationship with her family. We explore how childhood experiences shape our adult relationships, the importance of breaking generational patterns, and why creating new memories and genuine human connection is one of the most powerful forms of healing. We also talk about building community after lockdown, following your calling even when it feels risky, creating intimate events where people truly feel seen, and Kathy’s exciting plans for the future as she continues her work in healing, herbalism and holding space for others.
