BORN FOR THIS CIC
Our Story
Two women. Sixty years of combined experience. One shared belief that
every woman deserves the opportunity to reconnect with who she truly is.
HOW WE BEGAN
We didn't plan Born For This, We lived Our Way To It.
Nearly thirty years ago, one of us walked into the other's therapy room. What began as a professional exchange became something neither of us could have anticipated — a friendship, a partnership and eventually a shared calling that would take decades to fully understand.
From that first meeting we recognised something in each other and there was an immediate shared sense that we had been brought together for a reason.
We have supported each other through the hardest seasons of life — illness, grief, loss, the kind of darkness that changes you. Not in spite of those experiences, but because of them, we understand what it means to feel disconnected from yourself and to find your way back.
That understanding isn't academic, it was experienced, and it is at the heart of everything we create for other women.
MEET THE FOUNDERS
Two Practitioners. One Mission.
Katie Young
CO-FOUNDER & LEAD PRACTITIONER
I was born and raised in London and although I now live in the Kent countryside, London will always hold a special place in my heart.
Life has taken me through many of the challenges that bring women to our work today, including illness, trauma, stress, anxiety, loss and profound personal transformation. Those experiences have shaped not only who I am, but how I work.
My clients often tell me they feel understood because they know I have walked my own path through life's complexities. Alongside more than 30 years of professional experience, I bring deep compassion, intuition and a genuine understanding of what it means to rebuild, reconnect and find your way forward when life has taken you somewhere you never expected to go.
I believe every challenge holds the potential for growth, every woman deserves support, and that when we reconnect with ourselves, we reconnect with the purpose and meaning that makes life feel whole again.

Elisabeth-Lomas Harris
CO-FOUNDER & LEAD PRACTITIONER
I was born and grew up in Sweden and moved to the Uk in my twenties.
Like many of the women we support, my own journey has included significant personal and family challenges that have shaped my understanding of resilience, strength and the importance of having the right support during difficult times. Those experiences taught me that healing is not about avoiding life's challenges, but learning how to navigate them with courage, balance and self-belief. Over the years, I have supported people through periods of change, uncertainty and transformation, both personally and professionally. I bring a calm, grounded presence, a deep sense of compassion and a belief in every woman's ability to find her way forward, no matter what life has placed in her path.
I believe every woman deserves to feel supported, empowered and connected to herself, especially during life's most challenging seasons.

OUR CREDENTIALS
EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST
Between us we bring nearly sixty years of practice, teaching and lived experience. We have set up and run our own therapy clinic, held positions on the boards of professional therapy organisations and delivered accredited courses, workshops and retreats for over twenty years.
In January 2024 our programmes gained global accreditation with the IPHM — the International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine — a recognition of the quality, integrity and depth of what we have built together.
WHY BORN FOR THIS CIC EXISTS
SUPPORT SHOULDN'T DEPEND ON CIRCUMSTANCES
Through our CIC model, every woman who joins a paid programme helps create a funded or subsidised place for another woman who could not otherwise access this work. That is not a just a marketing message, it is the legal and structural commitment at the heart of everything we do.
Our formal charity partner is Stronger Together Through Cancer — ensuring women moving through cancer treatment and recovery have subsidised and funded access to our programmes and support.
