Bringing Forth the Innate Wisdom Within EVERY-BODY

Personal healing with counseling, coaching, intensives, quests, and rites of passage.

Professional growth through trainings, mentorship, and supervision for therapists and helping professionals.

 Welcome to the Somatic Nature Therapy Institute!

We aim to make the world a better place by helping you and your clients connect with inner wisdom, grow resilience, and normalize the transitions and challenges that come with being human. Whether you’re an individual or a couple looking for personal support, or a therapeutic practitioner wanting to increase your skill and confidence so you can take your practice to the next level, we can support and guide you in your ongoing growth and evolution. Our goal is to provide you with powerful, cutting-edge information and practices, as well as support you in deeply listening to and trusting your own inner guidance — whether that’s in your own life or in your role as a therapist, coach, or community leader. We support you in slowing down so you can learn to listen to the wisdom within your own body, mind, and soul, as well as the wisdom of the natural world. We create space and guidance for learning greater self-compassion, effective communication, and relationship skills.

We look forward to supporting you on your unique journey.

Testimonials

  • I was guided by my Soul to take time to step deeply into silence and to simply be and to listen. Time alone in Nature creates space to sink and expand into the heart and connect more deeply with my Soul. I love feeling supported by others as I take time to explore “Being” and simply listening. The Quest provides a safe space for vulnerability, connection and authenticity. Committing to a Vision Quest with Katie is life changing! It’s a powerful YES to stepping into living authentically and discovering who you really are, what your dreams are, what your Soul wants you to know.

    Cory J. - Soulfire 2023

  • If you are a healing professional of ANY kind, and you have been looking for a trauma training, I CANNOT recommend Katie Asmus's work enough! Even as a trained Somatic Sex Educator, I did NOT feel equipped to do the work I do without this training. If you are a coach or healer of ANY kind, please please get trauma trained!

    Hazel-Grace Yates, Somatic Sex Educator, CA - Somatic Soul-Based Trauma Training

  • Working with Katie Asmus has been an invaluable experience that has significantly enriched both my personal and professional life. Her inspiring guidance and profound knowledge have not only shaped the growth of my business but also empowered me to develop impactful curriculum with a depth of wisdom that goes beyond the conventional. Her mentorship is a beacon of inspiration, and I am grateful for the transformative influence she has had on my journey.

    Tami Gilmore, MA LPC, Dallas, TX, Wilderness Therapy Retreats, LLC - Mentorship

  • I highly recommend Katie as one of the most skilled and amazing trauma and nature-based therapists and teachers! After doing many of her trainings, she has taught me most of what I know about somatic trauma work and nature-based therapy.

    Kate Josephson -  Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, MELP, RYT, Boulder, CO

  • I've been in a consultation group run by Katie Asmus for several years now, and it is usually my favorite part of each month. As an expert on trauma treatment she holds incredible wisdom for every clinical conundrum. And yet think the reason I love her so much is more about the way she brings out the best in each of us, as people and as clinicians. I always leave feeling inspired and supported, with so many new ideas to bring to my work.

    Peg Shippert MA, LPC, Boulder, CO - Group Consultation

  • Watch out because Katie packs a punch! Her loving smile and profoundly inviting presence make her one c the most beloved personalities in counseling: wilderness therapy today. Katie's inner landscape is planted with wisdom, experience, and skills earned through decades of intimate work as an educator, trauma healer, program developer, wilderness therapist, and vision quest guide... She is a truly gifted teacher with an impeccable knack for reminding each of us of our sacred humanity and blessed paths

    Gary Howard MA, LPC, Boulder, CO - Group Consultation

  • Transformative experience, life altering, so much love, wisdom and support. BEAUTIFUL magical land with powerful, insightful hilarious professional leaders with the perfect sentiments at the perfect time. Belly laughs, sorrow, tears, and a love that overtakes all.

    Darlene Eggeloff, MA, LPC, Psychotherapist, Crested Butte, CO - Inner Quest

  • Katie’s training “Uncovering Genius” has changed the way I practice therapy with my clients. The training combines creative and expressive techniques to draw out the deep wisdom of each person I get to work with. I took this training for the first time a few years ago and I’ve had the pleasure to take it two more times since then, and I take away golden nuggets every time. I cannot recommend Katie as a teacher, facilitator and human enough. She is a bright and brilliant light who makes others feel seen and heard in her presence. My life goal is to take all of her trainings eventually.
