Hi, I’m Katie
At my core, I’m curious, adventurous, strong-willed, and deeply creative. The kind of person who studies German "for fun," invites strangers she meets in cafés on spontaneous road trips, and moves across the world to see what life has to offer. But somewhere along the way, in my drive to prove myself, that version of me disappeared. Let me explain:
My Story
About eight years ago, on my way to work at a bank on Wall Street, I had an experience that made me question everything I thought I knew about success.
I had just ordered my usual morning coffee and bagel so I could enjoy five quiet minutes to myself before the day began. But as the barista handed me the cup, my hand slipped. Hot coffee splashed across the counter and down my dress.
Before I even knew why, I burst into tears. Other customers rushed in, asking if I’d been burned. Physically, I was fine. Just stunned by my own reaction.
An hour later, staring at the screen in my cubicle, the truth hit me: that coffee was the only thing I’d been looking forward to all day.
But since I didn’t know any other way to pay rent or survive, I kept going. Until my body stopped me.
I woke up one morning with arthritis pain shooting through my body, hands too inflamed to type or even comb my hair, and a secret relief that I could call in sick from work.
That’s when I began searching for how to rebuild my body - and my life - from the ground up.
A holistic nutritionist was the first person who taught me how to listen to my body. He helped me identify hidden food sensitivities, signs of inflammation, and what it felt like to actually feel nourished, energized, and alive. Our work together gave me hope and the first glimpse that something else was possible.
During the pandemic, I continued studying somatic healing through breathwork (BBTRS), strength training, and movement.
At the end of the pandemic, I moved to Germany, where a new chapter opened and with it, a deeper level of transformation.
I began working with a psychologist who helped me understand the psychological roots of my stress response: my beliefs, values, and internal strategies.
I uncovered the values I had buried beneath other people’s expectations, the passions I had put on hold, and the unconscious strategies I was using - including arthritis - that had protected me in some ways but were hurting me in others.
As I took ownership of my body and mind, my definition of success shifted. It was becoming less defined by external accomplishments and more clear, personal, and entirely my own.
I envisioned a life and career built around the things that mattered most to me: psychological growth, creative expression, and femininity. A life that balanced service to women with space to recharge through movement, music, and nature.
And now, writing this from a terrace overlooking a park in Berlin, I’m living the life I once imagined.
I wake up at 7 a.m., inspired and motivated in a way I never thought possible when I was living and working in Manhattan.
So if your morning coffee is the only thing getting you through the day…
If you’re drained, discouraged, and wondering if this is all there is…
I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to run on empty.
If some part of you still hopes - or even just suspects - that more is possible, let’s talk.
I can help you create a roadmap to your personal version of success: one that leaves you feeling fulfilled, impactful, and fully alive.
