About Kate
Kate Pitches is an author, poet, actress, yoga teacher and biomedical honours graduate based in Auckland, New Zealand. Her work brings a frank and thoughtful perspective to healing, meaning, and the complexities of being human in the modern world.
Her poetry collection, Every Snake Sheds Its Skin, was written during a period of deep personal challenge. Through the shifting terrain of a mental-health journey, the poems explore what it means to heal, endure, and remake oneself in a world that rarely slows down. Snakes teach a simple lesson: change is inevitable, and we grow through it.
