A place for ALL of you to be seen and held.

Who & Why

Wandering Heart Collective was dreamed into being by Katie Holz as a way to weave together a network of trusted, like-hearted practitioners across California. Born from a vision of connection, reciprocity, and care, our collective is grounded in shared values, relational depth, and a commitment to experiential, trauma-informed healing. Together, we hold space for transformation.

While each of us works independently in our own practices, we come together for consultation, and collaboration. And, just as importantly, for connection and play. By working together, we ensure that those seeking support can be matched with practitioners who truly understand their needs and offer care that is thoughtful, informed, and deeply attuned.

In our work together, we would move at a pace that feels safe while we gently make sense of what you have lived through. I pay close attention to your body, emotions, and nervous system, helping you notice patterns of fight, flight, freeze, or fawn without shame. Using relational, somatic, and trauma-informed approaches, we build enough stability to touch painful memories without getting overwhelmed, and we create new experiences of being accompanied instead of alone. Over time, this can soften hypervigilance, deepen self trust, and make more room for connection, rest, and choice in your life.

Katie’s areas of focus

You’ve spent years stuck in cycles of addiction and want to learn to understand your pain, reclaim your voice, and rebuild a life that feels stable, safe, and worth fighting for.
You are exhausted from the constant overwhelm of shame, self-harm, or suicidal thinking, and want to reconnect with your worth, rebuild trust in yourself & others, and create a life that feels grounded and hopeful again.
Through no fault of your own, you’ve lost yourself to numbness, hopelessness, and disconnection, and want to find your way back home to yourself.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a highly effective psychotherapy method designed to help people heal from the emotional pain and distress caused by disturbing life experiences. It’s a trauma-focused approach that enables the brain to process and resolve painful memories, unlocking the natural healing potential of the mind.
Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP) is a cutting-edge, body-based approach to trauma healing and personal growth that integrates the transformative potential of psychedelics with somatic (body-centered) psychotherapy. Unlike traditional psychedelic therapies, PSIP works without the use of high-dose psychedelics and instead focuses on evoking non-ordinary states of consciousness through low-dose or sub-psychedelic use of medicines (Cannabis and/or Ketamine). This allows clients to access deep layers of their psyche and nervous system in a grounded and relational setting, fostering profound healing and integration.
Developed by the Psychedelic Somatic Institute, PSIP is unique in its focus on somatic activation and therapist-client interaction, emphasizing the relationship between the body, emotions, and the nervous system to unlock unresolved trauma and promote lasting transformation.
Body-based relational therapy is a way of working where your body (soma) and our relationship are both central to the healing process. Instead of staying only in thoughts or insight, we pay close attention to what happens between us and within you in real time: your breath, posture, impulses, emotions, and the stories that live in your body.
We slow down enough to notice how you protect yourself, where you feel alone, and where you long for connection. In this space, I will stay present with you, offering steady, attuned contact so you can begin to feel safer being fully yourself with another person. Over time, these moments of feeling deeply met, seen, and moved by each other can soften old survival patterns and open more room for ease, intimacy, and self-compassion.
