Katie Brown

Katie is a senior yoga teacher who has taught yoga and meditation for 20 years. She is a professional writer, magazine editor and journalist and has written for national publications. She is a published author of ‘Mother and Me, A Mum’s Guide to Balance, Wellbeing and Harmony and Guided Relaxation’ – an essential guide to creating calm, including a chapter on relaxation for children.

Katie researched clear evidence of need, citing a report by Black Dog Institute in May 2021 stating that mental health struggles often begin in childhood. A second Australian child and adolescent survey of mental health and wellbeing published in 2015 revealed that around 13.6 per cent of Australian children aged 4-11 are experiencing mental health disorders.

“Science tells us daily that we all need to reduce our stress to promote and support our physical, emotional and mental health. Thankfully, Katie Brown’s book Guided Relaxation, not only teaches us how to relax, it also shows us how in clear, friendly and accessible words and illustrations. The practice of conscious relaxation will change your day and your life, because it will affect how you ‘talk’ to yourself and how you interact with others. An essential book in the modern world. It will uplift your spirits and take you home to a sense of ease and rest.” – Judith Hanson Lasater, US Restorative Yoga teacher.
