TESTIMONIALS
Before I started working with Kate, I was dealing with a lot of stress--both from my job and family life. I was trying to develop healthier eating habits and incorporate regular exercise into my routine, but I wasn't sure where to begin or how to stay consistent.
From the very beginning of our coaching sessions, Kate made me feel completely at ease. She created a safe, welcoming space where I felt comfortable sharing openly. She offered practical tools and techniques to help reduce stress, eat more mindfully, and stay active. What stood out the most was how Kate empowered me to take control of my own life. I learned that advocating for myself matters, and thanks to her guidance and accountability, I was finally able to take real steps towards my goals.
Kate is truly exceptional at what she does. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for support, motivation, and a caring professional to walk alongside them. She's made such a positive impact on my life.

Working with Kate has truly been a transformative experience. Through her compassionate and empowering guidance, I learned how to put myself first, set healthy boundaries within my marriage, and boldly speak up and show up for myself in ways I never thought possible.
Because of her coaching, I feel lighter, freer, and more inspired. I know now--deep in my soul--that I matter. What I want, what I like, and what I value in life are important, and I no longer feel guilty for honoring them. Kate helped me reconnect with myself and feel truly alive again.
Her presence, wisdom, and genuine care make her an incredible wellness coach, and I am deeply grateful for the impact she's had on my life. Thank you, Kate, for helping me reclaim my voice, my power, and my joy. You are a gift!

“Working with you was instrumental in helping me figure out what I want from life, breaking big goals down into a series of small concrete achievable goals to help get me where I want to go, and in learning self-calming practices and self-encouragement strategies that can be used as tools to help me get unstuck from negative thought patterns.”
Kate is such a delight as a wellness coach, very professional yet caring and sympathetic to my concerns. I had some issues that were bothering me and with her help, I found ways to cope and figure out what will work for me. I have learned new insights that I feel will now be with me in the long term to use as part of my daily routine to take better care of myself. I will therefore be a better person to the people around me. I would recommend Kate as a wellness coach to my friends, family, and coworkers.

I was feeling overwhelmed and hopeless due to the many storms that had recently hit my life. So much was out of my control. I wanted to focus on what I could control - my physical well-being, believing it would have a ripple effect on my mental health. I was blessed with having Kate enter my life at just this time.
Kate listened. She heard all that had happened to me and validated my strength and tenacity to get through the past couple of years. Her empathy and positivity gave me the confidence to begin taking the first steps to a healthier me. Her warmth immediately put me at ease. Trusting Kate came easily for me.
I was continually impressed with her professionalism. Kate always came to our sessions prepared, but listened first to allow my needs to guide her coaching. If I were experiencing difficulty in an area, she would use her expertise to offer several suggestions and give me the autonomy to choose which would work best for me. Each week, Kate would key in on all of the things I was doing well in such a genuine way that I once again began to feel I was a capable, deserving person. I was encouraged and motivated by her belief in me.
Kate has helped me accomplish my goals of eating healthier and exercising regularly. She gave me the tools to begin making healthier food choices and encouraged me to rediscover the joy of riding my bike. Because of the lifestyle changes I made with her guidance, the scale is trending downward - yay! However, the best part about working with Kate is how much better I feel on the inside. I can’t express the gratitude I have for all that she has done for my physical and mental well-being in such a short time. Kate is a rare gift - an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable coach, whose warmth and empathy make her feel like a lifelong friend.

Working with Kate has made me look deeper into the way I approach my health and daily routines. Before coaching, I often struggled with drinking enough water, grabbing processed snacks out of convenience, and eating late at night. Through Kate's meetings, she encouraged me to look at practical strategies that fit into my life as a classroom teacher. I’ve made positive changes that feel natural and sustainable. I now drink more water throughout the day while planning the bottles in the morning that I need during the day. I developed a plan to fit in active walks during work breaks to boost my energy and have reduced my intake of processed foods.
One of the biggest shifts has been in my eating habits after 6 p.m. Instead of falling into the pattern of late-night eating, I’ve learned how to make better choices in the evening and feel satisfied. I’ve also become more intentional about meal planning, making sure to include vegetables every day for the whole family, which has not only improved my nutrition but also made me feel more energized.
What I appreciate most is that Kate made the process approachable and supportive, helping me build these changes step by step. These aren’t just quick fixes—they are lasting habits that have given me attainable goals and balance in my daily life. I am so grateful for the guidance and accountability, talking through daily life and heightening my attention to things that matter to me. That has made all the difference in my journey. No spaghetti squash or sweet potatoes in this house, but we will keep trying to love or at least like our veggies!

Before I started working with Kate, I was dealing with a lot of anxiety in my personal and professional life. I also was struggling with some challenges in a personal relationship. After our sessions, I felt calmer, heard, and truly seen. She created such a safe space that I was able to let my guard down and just be myself.
I really appreciate Kate's laid-back and supportive demeanor. She has a great sense of humor, which made our sessions not only helpful but also enjoyable. After each session I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. In between sessions, I often found myself thinking, " I can't wait to tell Kate about this."
I'd recommend Kate to anyone who needs "a person" to share life's ups and downs with—whether it's personal or work related. I'm so glad I get to continue this coaching journey with her. Working with Kate feels like having a trusted friend by your side!

I went into this process with Kate knowing that I wanted to take better care of my physical and mental health but not really knowing where to start when I already felt stressed and overwhelmed a lot of the time. She taught me how to make small, sustainable changes that helped me feel better without feeling like I was adding more to my plate.
I am drinking more water, planning meals ahead of time for the week, and have developed routines for household tasks that help me stay on top of things instead of feeling like I am constantly falling behind. These changes have had a direct impact on my physical health. I have more energy and am not craving snacks and/or a nap in the afternoon the way I had been. Most notably though, I have seen a significant decline in the severity of my migraines, which is something that I have really struggled with. I have not been able to take preventative medicine for them because of side effects, so having this improvement from small, practical changes is really life-changing for me.
What I appreciated most about our coaching relationship was how supportive and practical Kate was. She met me where I was, without any judgment, and helped me break things down into steps that felt realistic and manageable for me. I never felt pressured to make specific changes, she just encouraged me and helped me feel empowered to take small steps that would build on each other and make an impact.
I would recommend Kate’s coaching to anyone who feels like they are constantly running on empty, or who knows that they want to take better care of their mental and/or physical health but struggles with knowing where to start or how to put it into practice in their daily life.

Before working with Kate, I was floundering with my goal of living a healthier lifestyle. My weekly sessions with Kate held me accountable for my dietary and exercise choices. Kate helped me become aware of simple things I was not observing and correcting in my health journey. For example, by monitoring my heart rate during daily exercise, I am now able to see greater results and achieve my goals.
Kate is very compassionate and dedicated to assisting her clients toward meeting their goals. She does this in a very confidential and understanding manner. I highly recommend Kate to coach and guide anyone working toward self-improvement in a physical or mental capacity—you won’t regret it!

Working with Kate provided me insight and offered me new perspective on several areas that I am working through in my life. She had amazing tools that helped me understand some fear I was having with a significant life change. She created a safe space where we were able to take a closer look at the life change that was excited yet daunting. Kate helped me break down the project into manageable steps and supported me with each and every goal I created. I could hardly wait to tell her about my progress. She also discussed with me a variety of perspectives on options in ways I had not thought of on my own. This discussion brought great clarity to my progress.
I will be forever thankful for her compassionate presence, attentive listening, perspective and support. My project is well on its way now – Kate was a big part of my success. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kate as a Wellness Coach.
