    Inner Harmony is dedicated to the journey of transformation of body, mind, and spirit. Life transitions, relationships and our busy life styles all challenge our ability to live a life that is satisfying and fulfilling. With increasing demands, time to connect with self, others and God becomes less of a priority--often out of necessity. We often forget who we are and why we are on this planet. Inner harmony will help to reconnect you to what is most important, which is transformation of body, mind and spirit. This transformation will lead to a life that is more harmonious and balanced. Isn't that what we are all seeking?

    Inner Harmony (formally Inner Balance .Org) was founded in 2001, by Dr. Kathryn Royer. The center offers individual and group consultations, classes, workshops, retreats, and seminars for persons who desire to have more satisfying relationships with self, others and God. Kathryn is a dynamic and motivating speaker who has led workshops and retreats internationally.

    Health and healing have been areas of passionate interest in Kathryn's life work. For over 30 years Kathryn has practiced the art of healing as a nurse and spiritual director. She brings to Inner Harmony life experience not only as spiritual director and nurse, but also as a visionary leader, and teacher.

    Kathryn holds a AAS in nursing, a BA in psychology, a Master of Divinity, and a Doctorate in Ministry in Spiritual Direction. She is also a teacher of the Enneagram and systems theory in organizations, is a Reike practitioner, and is an ordained minister. Kathryn has experience working with persons from many cultures and faith backgrounds. In addition, she has experience in working with those who struggle with addictions, abuse, grief, sexuality issues, life transitions, vocation, divorce, and groups. Kathryn is a supervisor and teacher for students of spiritual direction.
