For women who understand themselves deeply, but still don’t feel free.
Start the Journey
At House of Self, Kathryn Grace offers 1:1 therapy (extended sessions), therapy intensives, group work, and retreats designed for deep, lasting change.
Kathryn is a registered Occupational Therapist and Internal Family Systems facilitator who has crossed her own share of difficult terrain, grief, loss, the unraveling of who she thought she was and built this practice from what she found on the other side. House of Self is built around supporting women to move beyond coping strategies, toward a life shaped by who they actually are, understanding their inner world, building real self-trust, and creating relationships with genuine depth. This is where practical tools meet deep, considered healing work.
A sanctuary for your
whole Self
You’ve done the work, but something is still missing.
You've done the work.
You have insight, and you can name your patterns clearly and still, something in your system keeps bracing. You overthink before you decide, override what your body is telling you, second-guess what you already know underneath all of it. You hold everything together on the outside while quietly wondering why all that awareness hasn't yet translated into any real sense of peace.
That's not a failure of insight, and it isn't a sign you haven't done enough inner work. It's what tends to happen when understanding reaches the mind before it reaches the body, when the nervous system, and the parts of you still protecting against old pain, haven't yet been met by the awareness your mind has already found.
House of Self is where that work happens. It's for women who are ready to stop managing themselves and start meeting themselves instead, through IFS facilitation, somatic work, relational presence, and contemplative inquiry, we moving from analysis into embodiment, from self-management toward Self-leadership, from a survival-shaped identity into something truer.

Occupational Therapist, IFS Facilitator, Meditation & Yoga Teacher
For most of my life, I felt like I was at war with myself.
Not in ways that were obvious from the outside. I was capable, driven, spiritually curious. I did the work, therapy, yoga, years of personal development, years of meditation. I understood myself, probably better than most people around me did.
And yet something still felt fractured underneath all of it — in my relationships, in my body, in my sense of my own worth. No amount of learning or achieving ever fully touched the feeling that something was fundamentally wrong with me.
What I've come to believe, both through my own life and through years of clinical practice, is that this was never a knowledge problem. Understanding yourself and actually being met by yourself are two different things, and most of us have only ever been taught how to do the first. How to analyse, manage, override, and improve our way through our own inner world, rather than actually turn toward it.
That's the ground House of Self is built on: not another technique for managing yourself better, but an actual relationship with the parts of you that have spent years being managed, suppressed, or held at arm's length, and with whatever solid ground exists beneath all of that noise. It's also why I trust I can walk this terrain with other women — not only the psychological layer, but whatever sits underneath it too.
———————————————
Most of us have been taught to approach change like a project. Fix the pattern, identify the block, try harder, do more, understand it better. That approach has been shaped by the systems and cultures around us, and it will only ever get you so far.
Real change tends to happen somewhere else: in the pause, in the moment you stop analysing and actually let yourself be with what's here, in the shift from doing something to yourself toward actually being with yourself. Those two things are not the same, even though they can look identical from the outside.
At the heart of my work is Internal Family Systems, a model that understands we're all made up of parts, inner protectors, wounded places, and beneath all of it, a calm and clear Self that has never actually left. IFS doesn't ask you to fix or manage your parts. It asks you to meet them, with curiosity, with compassion, and without shame.

Alongside IFS, I draw on:
Attachment theory and relational work
Somatic and embodiment practices
Yin yoga, contemplative traditions and presence-based spiritual inquiry
I don’t see these as separate techniques stacked on top of each other, but as different doorways into the same thing: returning to the truth of who you already are, underneath the version of you that was shaped by survival.
Whether you're moving through grief, burnout, a transition, or something you can't quite name yet, this is the kind of work that meets you there.
