We are pleased to welcome Katherine Anderson to the Meditation Australia Board. Katherine is a certified meditation teacher with a heart-led, grounded approach that integrates intuition, presence, and inner guidance. Alongside her work in meditation, she brings extensive experience in digital strategy and is the Director of Sirocco Digital and Co-Founder of OneQuest. Her passion for expanding the reach and integrity of meditation makes her a valuable addition to the board.
Below, Katherine has answered a few questions so you can get to know her better.
Can you share a little about your meditation teaching journey?
My path into teaching was shaped through lived experience. Meditation and breath supported me deeply during recovery from a spinal cord injury, and that personal devotion naturally evolved into formal training and facilitation.
Today my work sits at the intersection of intuition, energy and presence, exploring consciousness and coherence through heart-led living and a continual return to what’s true. Alongside teaching and mentoring, I’m the Director of Sirocco Digital and Co-Founder of OneQuest, which supports teachers and practitioners to share their work through accessible online learning.
In terms of practice and approach, I’m deeply drawn to breath, pranayama, and intention, including practices influenced by Kundalini and yogic traditions. I also regularly practise Buddhist meditations such as vipassana, anapanasati, metta, and walking meditation, as well as Hindu practices including japa, kirtan, and self-inquiry. In more modern contexts, I also value somatic and polyvagal-informed meditations, visualisation, reflective contemplations, and sound journeys, with a focus on integration, steadiness, and embodied living.
What does your personal meditation practice look like, and how has meditation influenced your life?
Meditation has influenced my life most through what it has taught me about capacity. It has helped me meet challenges with more patience and less reactivity, to hold discomfort without trying to fix it, and to keep returning to what’s true beneath the noise. It has also strengthened my trust in practice over performance, through small, consistent choices that build clarity and resilience over time.
What inspired you to join the Meditation Australia Board, and how do you hope to contribute to the organisation and the broader meditation community?
What inspired me to join the Meditation Australia Council is a genuine desire to support the visibility and reach of meditation teaching in Australia – across traditions, and in a way that honours integrity, accessibility, and professionalism.
Practically, I hope to contribute by strengthening MA’s digital presence and member experience, so it’s easier for people to connect with qualified meditation teachers, and for members to access information, further learning, and professional resources. I also hope to support the organisation in continuing to operate in a way that is both sustainable and aligned with its values.
I bring an extensive background in digital strategy, SEO, and user experience, along with a grounded commitment to practice and the principles that sit behind the teaching.”
Please share something about you.
Meditation has become a meeting point between ancient practice and the science of regulation, resilience, and energy coherence, and it’s also where my intuitive work has deepened. For me, the path isn’t about striving; it’s about remembering, returning, and re-aligning with what’s true, and in that, unlocking the infinite potential that already exists within us.
That principle guides both how I practise and how I support others: creating the space for real change to unfold naturally, so clarity can land, willingness and capacity can grow, and inspired action can take shape.
