In case you don't know me, I'm Kate Marillat, the your host for our online writing retreat. 

I am an advocate for creativity and emotional wellbeing. I believe that we can all write, it's a muscle we can train, a focus we can learn. Most of us have hang ups about our creativity and this retreat is one way we can work through our anxieties with the strength of a community around us. 

Ten years ago I procrastinated and hid my stories and messages from the world. Since using EFT (tapping) on these fears, I’ve written one novel, self-published an  e-book, worked as a copywriter for blue-chip clients as part of their marketing strategy, and written for Heal Your Life and Natural Health magazine. I have a best-selling self-development book, Transform Your Beliefs, Transform Your Life, which is published by Hay House and is translated in six languages. 

My recent creative projects include being part of a writing team for a recently optioned TV Series and a new novel that I write in the (timed) gaps between being a Mum of two young boys and running my business, The Tapping Collective where I train and mentor over a hundred coaches and practitioners.
