What past clients say
Celia
“I worked with Katie over the course of 2021. It has taken me some time to write this review as it's so hard to put into words what she did for me. After a difficult post-partum time in 2019, rolling right into the pandemic of 2020, I had found myself feeling incredibly lost, confused, angry and resentful, and taking out frustrations on loved ones (which added guilt to the list of emotions I was struggling with).
“I found Katie's website and was first struck by her writing - it was sincere in a way I hadn't seen much on the internet, and she didn't seem to use the same old "here's how I did it and how you can do it too" marketing style that many others use. So I reached out to her for an initial call for more info, partly out of curiosity, and partly out of desperation.
“We ended up working together for almost a year, and it was truly life-changing. In a very short time, Katie was able to truly see me, probably better than anyone ever has, and more importantly she helped me be able to see myself - which I realized I had never actually done before. She really has a knack for reading the moment and knowing what is needed in that moment, while also knowing how that moment relates to the bigger picture.
“There were multiple sessions that I doubted my progress, worried that we were derailing to solve "today's problem" and veering off course. She assured me over and over again (and sometimes gave me the slap of reality I needed!) that we would get there, and amazingly, when we came to our end and I looked back at our roadmap, we were there.
“The work that she does is so subtle that it's hard to give specifics in a review, but Katie did both help me through a(nother) very difficult year AND gave me some very clear and tangible tools to make further progress on my own. Now, about 4 months after we completed our time together, her influence continues to help me grow in a positive direction.
“I can't recommend Katie enough. I know if I get "stuck" again I'll be talking to her again, and I highly recommend anyone feeling this way now to give her a call.”
“As a coach myself and Katie's two-time client, I can say with complete confidence that Katie is an extraordinary coach who goes above and beyond to help you unlock key insights, expand your thinking, and create new patterns that serve you better.
”Katie is the smartest person in the room but would never make you feel that way; instead, she makes you feel like she is your friend, your confidant, your listener, and the person who's there to give you the push you need. She worked with me on a variety of issues around my personal life, my health, my work, and my relationship to myself, and in all areas challenged me to reimagine the questions I could ask myself and the experiments I could try.
”I have seen hundreds of coaches at work through my professional practice, and the only one I've ever felt moved to hire to coach me personally is Katie -- and I would make the same choice again. I would trust her with any life issue you're grappling with, knowing that you'll be in the best of hands.”

“How do I even get started? During the 6+ months of working with Katie I have transformed in a way that is so subtle yet so powerful.
“I'm able to deal with fear head on and challenge my critical thoughts. I'm able to affirm myself and believe in my worth without needing validation from anyone. I'm able to manage my social anxiety and move the focus away from being liked to paying attention to the other person and asking, do I like them? I have so much more time now to make art and to focus on my passions rather than feeling frazzled at work.
“I feel like the work I did in the past 6 months with Katie have catapulted me forward and I made progress in my own personal goals (weird eating habits, tech habits, personal art goals) that would have taken years if I had not worked with Katie.
“If you're thinking about it, I highly recommend working with Katie. Warning: be prepared for your life to change in the most beautiful and subtle ways. A real and lasting change that can upgrade your life and your thinking in ways you never would have believed was possible.”

“When I started my coaching with Katie in March 2021 I wasn't sure if life coaching was for me.
“My partner and I were both experiencing low points in our lives: couldn't remember the last time we were happy, had trouble defining what we even wanted in our lives, were defining our lives around other peoples expectations. Out of curiosity, and a little desperation, we started looking up mental health resources and trying to find out what life coaching was, when we found Katie's website. So much of what she had on her site resonated with what we were feeling! We decided to reach out to her to see if this process was a good fit for us.
"I can say confidently after completing the process that what Katie does is invaluable! Before the process I defined myself by others wants and needs, was insecure about who I was, and afraid of doing things for myself. Now I understand who I am, what I am feeling, and what makes me happy. My life is not perfect, I still have insecure feelings and anxiety, but now I am able to work through those feelings with the tools Katie has taught me.
”I cannot recommend Katie's service enough. If her website in any way resonates with you, I'd highly recommend reaching out to her to find out for yourself!”

“I don't even know where to begin with this review because I want to gush about Katie but still sound sincere. Katie really is a miracle worker.
“I was in a rut last year, not clinically depressed but my unhappiness in my career was pulling down all parts of my life and I didn't know how to process some rough job events that had occurred over the past couple years.
”Katie is kind, funny, perceptive, and tenacious. I had one-on-one sessions with her which always felt comfortable yet productive. I hate facing with my emotions (I'd prefer to just not have any) and I hold my cards close to the chest. Katie did an amazing job of giving me space while nudging me forward and respectfully pushed my comfort levels. By our last session, I had nothing to talk about (in a good way) because she had given me the tools I needed to process my thoughts and feelings in a healthy manner.
“I feel like I'm a lighter, happier version of myself and a better partner, friend, and coworker than I was a year ago (my boyfriend outwardly agrees to anyone I say that to).”

“I can write an entire book of compliments and praise dedicated to Katie, but for everyone's sake I'll keep this short.
“As someone who has stayed far away from any kind of emotionally-driven work (even certain types of meditative yoga are too hokey for me), I was finally too burned out and needed a new way to address my fatigue and the unsatisfactory feeling of "having everything" without feeling like it.
“I came across Katie through her fantastic newsletter (which I highly recommend!), and after a few months of passive reading, I decided to try it out hoping I'd have a written manual of sorts on how to "work better." Thank God, that's not what I ended up with because first off, those exist online for free (for good reason) and secondly, she exceeded every assumption I had about life coaching.
”Over the course of 11 months, Katie put me through intensive subtle work that seriously tackled the ineffable nature of "being stuck." She instantly understood my inclinations, my comfort zones, and nudged me safely into new territory without foregoing the kind of rigor I needed to latch onto.
“Through Katie, I've developed the skills--not to mention a comprehensive toolkit I refer to daily--on how to work through issues that come up for me, but she's also made me more aware of their root causes. I've entirely restructured my outlook and approach to work and "life," but I've also tapped into high-quality productivity that I didn't foresee at all--which was only made possible by Katie's inquisitiveness, razor-sharp focus, generosity, and patience. And who knew life coaching could also be as fun as it is rewarding?
That's all to say: I can't recommend Katie enough. I'm so, so happy to have had such a wonderful experience with her and will continue to seek out her services whenever I will need them in the future. For anyone looking for a life coach, Katie is the one!
