Kate’s Story
Driven by the enthusiasm for life and the curiosity to discover the context behind everything, Kate studied medicine to start with understanding the human being.
However, once a medical doctor, working in a neurological clinic in Berlin, she found herself far away from life and the big picture - and miles away from real personal contact. After work, she never had the feeling of having made a real difference or having contributed to a better quality of life of her patients.
Treating symptoms instead of causes and cases instead of individuals. That's nothing she wanted to be part of and support any longer.
She wanted to assist people to heal themselves and unfold. So Kate gathered all her courage and quit her job as a medical doctor - to be able to fully dedicate herself towards that goal. To bring connection between people, connection to oneself and connection to life - as a Wutao-teacher, as a musician and simply as a human being.
For years, music has been one of the main columns in her life. Coming from classical piano, Kate discovered the handpan as a powerful instrument combining melody and percussion. Ever since, she dedicated herself to share its deeply touching and lifechanging vibrational sounds. Sharing her knowledge in her popular handpan workshops - especially for beginners who like to discover this instrument and their own potential. Touring the world - playing concerts, festivals and events solo or with other musicians and a variety of instruments, electronic music as well as chill-out - Kate tries to acknowledge the wide range of this special instrument. Connecting people through radiating joy, inner freedom and the beauty of life.
