About Kate - Intro

In a world filled with distraction and division, as well as tremendous innovation, knowing the truth of who you really are has never been so important. This is what I call understanding your soulful blueprint.

It clears the way for you to authentically live and enjoy your highest potential. And through natural health and healing practices, this path deepens and nourishes your relationships with others — helping you feel more connection to the world around you.

I use the timeless wisdom of these ancient systems, the original ancient intelligence, to help you identify your gifts, understand why certain things are happening and how to move through them. All so you can have the most intimate and alive relationship with your own life.

I started practising yoga in 2000, and it was yoga that opened the door to its sister sciences — Ayurveda and Vedic Astrology, wisdom systems that were never meant to be separated from one another. All three together didn't just change how I lived; they became the ground I stood on through fifteen years working in macro and commodity markets in London.

That world trained me to be analytical, to hold a range of possibilities without forcing a conclusion, and to listen carefully and weigh all the evidence. Skills, as it turns out, that translate surprisingly well to reading a Jyotish chart.

The birth of my first son in 2010 changed everything. I could see it written in my own chart — a turning point that made clear, with some force, that I was being called in a different direction.

As my studies deepened I realised I needed to make the leap, from a corporate career to a life more aligned with who I truly was. And for the first time, I had the tools to see that clearly.

These practices gave me the clarity, courage and support to make difficult decisions. To leave work and relationships that were not for me. To understand the patterns I had carried since childhood — the hypervigilance, the fierce independence — and to meet them with something other than will.

They guided me to a conscious love relationship with my husband, 25 years after we first met. And they supported me in welcoming two more sons naturally, well into my late 40s — a testament, I think, to what becomes possible when body, mind and spirit are finally moving in the same direction.

I live in a boisterous and joyful household with three young boys and my beloved, highly creative husband. These ancient tools help me access the spiritual and mystical to better serve my practical reality — and this, I have found, is where they are most alive.

My soul work is to guide you toward the same clarity, freedom and transformation I found through these practices. They are my guiding lights, and it is my deepest privilege to share them.

I welcome you on this journey.

Kate's Signature

More About Kate Smith Jamison

  • Kate spent over 20 years in macro and commodity markets, including 14 years at Goldman Sachs and running her own financial writing company, Wordsmith. That analytical training shaped how she reads a Jyotish chart and listens to a body in an Ayurvedic consultation — with rigour, objectivity and a deep respect for nuance.
  • A lifelong lover of languages — she studied French and Russian at Cambridge and teaches Ayurveda fluently in French — Kate brings the same appetite for understanding and depth to her love of Sanskrit and the ancient texts that underpin her teaching.
  • Kate has been a practitioner of yoga since 2000 and is a Senior Yoga teacher in the Krishnamacharya lineage of vinyasa yoga, having trained with Mark Whitwell, Steve Brandon and Srivatsa Ramaswami — a longtime student of Krishnamacharya himself.
  • Her teaching deepened further through her studies with Shiva Rea, whose Prana Flow practices weave yoga, Ayurveda and cosmic rhythm into a single living tradition — and with whom Kate continues to study and learn.
  • Kate began her Ayurveda studies in 2012 with Dr Deepa Apte, qualifying with two diplomas — in Ayurvedic therapies and as an Ayurvedic Diet & Lifestyle practitioner. She has also had the privilege of studying with Dr Vasant Lad.
  • Kate has lived and worked with Jyotish as a personal practice since 2012 and has been offering it to clients since 2019. She was introduced to the tradition through students of her teacher Steven Highburger, whose own teaching sits within the lineage of the renowned Jyotishi Hart De Fouw.
  • Kate lives near Belfast with her husband and their three sons.

What Clients Say About Kate

“To have found Kate has been one of life’s deep blessings… I knew something special would unfold and it did. The first meeting opened a pathway to reach me with gentle wisdom, patience and care. I felt held and understood and trusted that the treatment plan that was to follow was to fundamentally change my life… it did. I began to alter my relationship with life, my body, my mind and reconnect with myself. This complete shift achieved through yoga, Ayurvedic massage and nutrition was more than timely. I couldn’t have foreseen that over the next weeks I would lose a sibling tragically and now I know that the meeting with Kate was all part of the plan to gently and powerfully help me navigate it all. Kate will change your life — quite simply.”

— Geralyn

“What started with learning yoga with Kate and feeling the power of movement in tough life situations, evolved through Ayurvedic suggestions of simple and subtle changes to what I ate and how I lived, to the point where I was able to come off all my thyroid meds. There was nothing complicated about it once I took the time to pause and create awareness. Kate will never fully understand the positive impact she has had on my life.”

— Sarah Jane

“I have visited Kate for both Yoga and Ayurvedic consultations. Kate is welcoming and incredibly knowledgeable. Each experience I have with her has been deeply beneficial and has improved my sense of well-being. In particular, I visited Kate for advice and guidance about my skin. I have been prone to breakouts of adult acne for years. Following the consultation, Kate provided me with a recommended food list along with herbal recommendations and food advice. I am absolutely delighted with the results and my skin has been clear for the last 6 months.”
