Author. Artist. Musician. Educator. Creator of Neuroaffective Somatics and Shentegrity.

Neuroscience. Trauma. Art.

I'm Katherine Zitterbart, also known as Kayteezee.

For nearly four decades, my work has moved through the intersections of embodiment, sexuality, music, art, and human experience.

I hold an MA in Critical Theory from Carnegie Mellon University. My background includes decades of teaching somatic practices, studying Chinese medicine, exploring affective neuroscience, and working with the complexities of trauma and neurodivergence.

I'm also a lifelong musician and visual artist. Sound, composition, geometry, and creative expression aren't separate from my work. They're fundamental to how I explore and communicate it.

I created Neuroaffective Somatics and Shentegrity as ways of contemplating the lived experience of being human through fascia, sensation, consciousness, and the relationships between structure and experience.

My work is grounded in a simple orientation:

Resonate — Don't Regulate.

Here you'll find books, original artwork, educational videos, embodied practices, workshops, and invitations to explore these ideas for yourself.

scia-centered nervous system work informed by affective neuroscience and Chinese medicine. Orientation and resonance over regulation.
