Compassionate coaching for caregivers, overfunctioners, & individuals burned out from complex health.
Hello, my name is Katie.
I support people who are ready to show up in their lives differently. My coaching tools can help you examine the thoughts and stories holding you back from having the kinds of relationships and life experiences you value most.
Do you…
… overfunction & feel like you have to hold up the sky for others?
… wonder where the fun in life went?
… feel stuck and unclear what to do next?
… know there has to be a better way to live?
… struggle with navigating complex health and/or parenting complex kids?
… feel unsure where to turn when you need support?
Every single one of us deserves a place to feel our complicated feelings, untangle messy thoughts and address our challenges. From there we can begin to develop, recognize and reclaim our instincts and use what we uncover as a compass for navigating the world. I would love to support you on your path.
Schedule a time to connect & discuss if my coaching is a fit for you!
My mission is to support you in reclaiming intuition and instinct. With these qualities restored your true Self can surface, allowing you to design & create your unique version of a life well-lived. The more supported we each are in our own lives, the healthier the next generation, our homes and shared world become – and the beautiful part is that every person holds their own answers for how to get there.
My wheelhouse includes…
Nature connection as a path for healing.
Living with complex health.
Parenting neurodiverse kids.
Respect for holistic AND traditional healing modalities.
Non-traditional education paths for unique learners.
I’m an ICF Certified Coach trained in Nature-Based Life Coaching, Wayfinder Life Coaching, Deathcare and Herbalism. I’m also a mother, partner and lifelong learner whose world changed for the better with coaching. Having a listening ear who also asked me powerful questions allowed me to reclaim my self-trust and intuition. I love now getting to offer that same support to others!
My story: I lost myself in motherhood with young kids who had complex health & developmental needs. Coaching offered me time to rest, be curious, & learn about myself - including my blind spots holding me back. It was a lifeline that helped me feel inspired, try new things and enjoy life again. And now I help others do the same.

“When the instincts are injured, humans will "normalize" assault after assault, acts of injustice and destruction toward themselves, their offspring, their loved ones, their land, and even their Gods.
This normalizing of the shocking and abusive is refused by repairing injured instinct. As instinct is repaired, the integral wild nature returns. Instead of dancing into the the forest in the red shoes until all life becomes tortured and meaningless, we can return to our handmade life, the wholly mindful life, re-make our own shoes, walk our walk, talk our own talk."
