Movement as Medicine: Releasing Through the Body & Field facilitated by Katherine & Karla of LAPS Holistic Arts

Join Katherine, founder of LAPS Holistic Arts, and LAPS energy practitioner Karla for a collaborative movement and energetic experience—a community class designed to move what’s been stagnant and reawaken what’s ready to rise.

Through breath-guided movement, elemental body awareness, and spirit-led energy healing, we will activate the lymphatic system, open internal channels, and support your body’s natural ability to process change—both internal and external.

Katherine will guide the flow through gentle postures rooted in Ayurveda, informed by energetic meridians and elemental wisdom, while Karla will tune into the subtle field with intuitive Reiki touch and ancestral energy work to help clear blocks and restore balance.

Expect grounding movement, intuitive sensing, deep breath, and moments of stillness. This is a class of attunement—designed to leave you more open, embodied, and in flow with what life is asking of you.

All levels welcome. Come as you are.

My name is Karla, in the spiritual world, I’m known as Kaia. My journey with Kaia began at a young age, as I was always attuned to the unseen world. As a child, I felt the protection of spirit and was introduced to herbal medicine and curanderos early on. My connection to spiritism and mediumship deepened during my teenage years, and in 2006, I was initiated into Santeria Omo Obatala—a moment that significantly shaped my spiritual development and personal growth.

Through my own healing, I discovered the medicine woman within me. My journey has been filled with challenges, but each one has strengthened my faith and integrity. After practicing privately for 22 years, spirit has guided me to step forward and share my medicine with the world.

For over two decades, I have studied energy transmutation, helping others release what no longer serves them and find the inner medicine to create necessary changes for a balanced life. I believe in the power of regeneration and self-growth, and that as free spirits, we have the ability to make transformative changes at any moment. To achieve this, a strong relationship with the divine is essential.

I’m here to guide and support you on your own journey of spiritual growth and healing. Asé.
