work with me

Are you seeking deeper connection— with yourself, your relationships, or your path in life?

my approach

the secret formula for a life well-lived:
mindful awareness + connecting from the wise heart

By weaving together the timeless wisdom of mindfulness and Buddhist teachings with contemporary psychology and brain-body science, we explore your inner landscape and the unique blueprint of you.

Through embodied presence, guided meditation, and compassionate inquiry, we bring awareness to the patterns that shape how you feel, think, and act. Using my signature MERITS framework for holistic wellbeing, we explore the aspects of an emotionally balanced life and investigate key pillars for personal development. In sessions together, we practice mind-heart integration, a process of rediscovering and staying with your most authentic parts, training in compassionate self-understanding, and mapping a life of greater purpose, contentment, and peace.

My methods utilize an integrated blend of psychological perspectives, rooted in years of personal study, research and thoughtful synthesis of best practices and commonalities across traditions.

My approach is one of warmth and discernment - soft, yet precise. We focus on lasting transformation, diving beyond surface level self-improvement and short-term fixes into the deeper truths of our being. We learn to flourish through change and begin to release what is no longer serving us. Together, we investigate what it’s like to be in this body, to work with this mind, to tend to this heart, and to connect with our innermost spirit.

We are here to be waking up, together…
to experience life fully, to find joy in the process, and to remember our true nature.

    - educator, Vietnam

  • "You have this skill of really helping someone crack the deeper coding..."

    - J, 32

  • "Katie was the only one who could meet me with heart, she was like a genuine figure of compassion. Her heart is strong and not afraid of what I needed to share. She was willing to face it. While other people were all trying to connect with me from logic, from their brain, she met me from her heart. She could see me."

    - course participant

  • "I wish every parent could be in your mindfulness group. Parents, we hold so much stress. I'm still developing my own practice, but every time we finish this class I feel refreshed and inspired, like I have wisdom. I think it's so important, and I feel like it every class with you is a gift to me."

    - parent, Thailand

  • "Thank you so much for the mindfulness session. The meditation centered me for the rest of the day and nourished me for the days after."

    - S, parent & teacher

  • "Katie has some power to get you to pull out and talk about the things that usually feel difficult. It's like, when she looks at people, she can see them for their soul. "

    R.K., New York

  • "This is exactly what they should have been teaching in schools. No one ever taught us these skills, and they seem like the most important things in life. Let's be honest, our parents had no clue what they were doing (even though they tried their best) and it feels like understanding these skills is long overdue. It has definitely changed my parenting and how I talk to my own kids."

    June, mother of 2

let’s get to know each other.

Hi, I’m Katie, founder of mind-heart evolution and international educator for nearly 15 years.

I am passionate about cultivating a more emotionally connected and compassionate world. I support adults, couples, parents, and communities in transforming both their daily lives, and the way we experience life itself.

In addition to a Master’s in Educational Psychology, I am a certified, trauma-informed Mindfulness Meditation Teacher (MMTCP), trained in emotionally intelligent education (Mindful Schools, Positive Education, Responsive Classroom, Gottman Emotion Coaching), and currently completing advanced certificates in mindfulness-based counselling and Buddhist-informed psychotherapy.

Since my own childhood, I have long wondered:
What is the deeper meaning of this all?
How can we be more authentic with each other?
How do we make the most of this precious human life?

Come investigate these questions with me.
I invite you to read my full background, certification details, and philosophy below.
