About Me
Hi, I’m Kat, Certified Life Coach and Lifestyle Design Strategist. I have a passion for authenticity, living your calling, and out of the box thinkers.
I am a student of Tim Ferriss, the author and blogger of The 4-Hour Work Week and Jack Canfield, the author and trainer of The Success Principles.
I have worked with entrepreneurs and professionals who know they want their ideal life and lifestyle. They know there is a better life out there.
The common areas of discomfort are 1) Feeling stuck not knowing how to reach a dream life and lifestyle, 2) Unable to achieve life/work balance and 3) Feeling you don’t fit in your own life or career because you are not being true and/or authentic to yourself.
With all of the self-help seminars, personal growth books and experts out there, you still haven’t found the solutions and answers you are looking for. This is often overwhelming, stressful and expensive. You probably have received some benefit and growth but find yourself still unable to start taking action. My coaching is all about YOU, YOUR needs, and YOUR individualized solutions. I tailor targeted action steps specific to your goals and needs because YOU are part of the process. I help you live authentically, guided by your unique values helping you create an amazing, more efficient lifestyle so you can live your true calling.
When it comes to Lifestyle Design, I am an expert at strategies and systems. I am very organized and structured, balanced with creativity. I am all about exercises and assignments that propel you into action.
My education and work background includes a BA in Professional Photography from Brooks Institute of Photography and a Professional Coach Certification from the International Coach Academy. I also have 8+ years of experience in Direct Sales.
I coach all over the world via Skype, phone and in person in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. I offer a complimentary 30-45 minute exploratory session

I began my life coaching sessions to find out what life coaching was all about, and I was interested in life coaching with Kat because I believe her to be an intelligent and trustworthy woman. What surprised me is how at ease I feel in talking with her and how very talented she is in listening, picking out the important aspects of what I say, and asking the questions to lead me to clarity, understanding, and action toward positive change.

When I found Kat as a life coach, I was in a place in my work life where I felt like my job wasn't right for me and my wheels were spinning without moving forward. With Kat's help I was able to fuel my professional life with passion and purpose and finally take it to the next level. Kat's innate listening skills were able to distill the chatter in my mind down into clear values and goals. She then helped me create a game plan that worked with my lifestyle to help me achieve these goals. She offers a third perspective that questions negative, self-limiting thinking, and coaching that offers support and guidance that doesn't settle for mediocrity.

It was a pleasure to work with Kat as she has been a pivotal source in helping me move forward with my life. She has a gift to listen and steer you into the right direction. She truly does live up to her title of ‘Lifestyle Design Strategist and Life Coach’. Thank you Kat for putting all the effort and time in me.

Working with Kat has been one of the smartest decisions we made regarding starting our business. She helped us identify several blind spots in our planning, and pointed us in directions we would have never considered on our own. She included my spouse in the process, recognizing that we need to succeed as a family, and made sure everything we did was in alignment with both of our values. Kat helped us not only set goals for the business we wanted to create and the lifestyle we wanted to live, but she also helped with creating a complete blueprint for success, including detailed information on how we actually plan to get there. The biggest benefit I got from working with Kat was that she helped me learn to trust myself again. She addressed and challenged negative thinking and limiting beliefs to help eliminate obstacles on the path to seeing our dreams become reality. Kat is a true professional, but she also cares about her clients; she met us where we were and helped us to chart the course for success. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to make positive changes in their lives.

I hired Kat to support me in achieving balance in my life, juggling various business hats. Once this goal was reached, I asked her to help me in moving forward with my business. Kat is a fantastic coach who (knowing my ability to over-plan) challenged me all the way on the feasibility of my goals. In this way she helped me avoid making costly mistakes and instead re-adjust my original goals to make them more workable. In our brainstorming, with her powerful questioning there was always another alternative, even once I thought the options are exhausted. Kat really held me accountable and kept me focused to avoid me being overwhelmed by the lots of different activities I was doing for all of my businesses. She was a very invaluable support to me. My sessions with her were so energizing and enthusing that I felt like jumping into action straight away, which converted into results soon. And when I felt myself completely stuck in a situation, her techniques not only helped me de-block right there, but they have been of great use for me since then. I strongly recommend Kat for anyone looking for support in creating an authentic lifestyle, in finding the right balance, or moving forward with business related goals.
