Kat was welcoming and genuine, supportive and encouraging. I attended a drum making workshop and we began with a cleansing exercise and some drum playing which was awesome and cleansing in itself. Kat helped me drop into my body again during the day, and the drum making process itself was meditative and rewarding.

Loved the whole day
Was blessed to spend the day with the most beautiful, creative and giving person – Kat.
Myself and three other lovely ladies did the medicine drum making workshop. And it was awesome. I loved the whole day and the drum making process from start to completion so much ! It fed my soul, my inner artist and crafter, musician and love of nature. Kat is a gem and is so natural, warm and generous.

100% recommend
I loved Kat’s drum making workshop. She is super hands on, explains everything fully and helps you out when you get frustrated + you’ll feel very welcomed if you decide to go to the workshop by yourself. 100% recommend her workshops and her day retreats, you won’t regret making that time for yourself.
~ Laura
Amazing drum making workshop
Amazing drum making workshop. Kat is an amazing human and excellent teacher. A beautiful relaxing work shop in a tranquil space with only a small group for that personal touch. I love my drum and can’t wait for my next workshop with Kat.

Love & pure intention
I am IN LOVE with my new drum! I got in touch with Kat to create a custom drum. Kat was extremely attentive and heard my vision and implemented it in an outstanding way. She went above and beyond to fit the needs of my drum, filling it with Love and pure intention! the quality and sound of my drum is like none other. I felt the vibration of the drum deep in my heart when the drum and I connected. Kat kept me informed the entire making of the drum! Kat has been a dream to work with and I could not be happier with the result and our interaction! I have proudly shown my drum off to everyone who wants to know about it and am recommending her work to everyone!
