Hello, my name is Katharine.

I ignite individuals and groups to do something extraordinary for themselves and the world from an “inspired and healthy – I’m taking care of myself first” basis.

What I love most about my work is the empowering process of a personal breakthrough: self-actualizing one’s dreams and – more importantly – oneself. Whatever your unique purpose, healing journey, Mount Everest, or Olympic moment is, I am excited to accompany you on your journey of self-discovery and personal mastery.

Together, we transform and catalyze what is possible. Challenges that are unique to us individually are also part of the collective. An individual’s singular act has an impact on the whole.

ABOUT MY WORK

Combining modalities for personal transformation – I am an ontological life coach, reiki & spiritual healing practitioner, artist, designer, and a business founder & owner. I have a natural aptitude to envision, feel, sense, intuit, and think outside the box. I create unique and individualized coaching/healing experiences that foster insight and growth personally, spiritually, and professionally. I appreciate working with individuals because of the breadth of transformation that is possible.

Engaging communities to create new possibilities – As the co-founder and former executive director of a foundation committed to climate change and global health, I worked with people domestically and internationally to find their voice and create actionable change. Designing immersive events, the foundation brought together local citizens and experts to address current and pressing issues. The work encompassed everything from directing and producing films and live performances to co-authoring legislation and supporting scientific studies and research. Our efforts were designed to inspire, grow inclusion, and encourage collaborative action, knowing that each one of us plays a significant role. Being united was and is our pathway to success.

ABOUT ME

Brooklyn, born and raised – I grew up in the diverse cityscape of Kings County, Brooklyn, NYC. I experienced the power and strength of neighbors and communities coming together to share art, music, food, and resources. The city was also a microcosm of the division between class, race, and gender in our society, which fostered in me a commitment to equity and inclusion.

Navigating the unexpected – Through my own health trials and challenges, I have had to navigate great uncertainty, pain, and loss. I have learned to flow with whatever comes my way, engage in the process of healing, and grasp wisdom and guidance from what cannot be anticipated or planned. My strength and resilience stem from my openness to vulnerability and a commitment to be with and move through all that arises. I practice dropping the storyline and what “I know” to open to greater awareness and depth of understanding, and to learn something new.
