Hello, love!

I’m Kate. ❤️‍🔥

I'm a singer-songwriter-producer and somatic coach for creative people who KNOW they're meant to make art and change the world in the process.

Raised by an ex-ballet dancer and an ex-jazz musician & composer, I started playing violin at age 3 and trained at one of the world's top conservatories— then, burned out by the age of 24 and threw it all away.

I divorced my husband, my parents and my violin career in the span of one year, and moved with only $400 in my bank account to a new city to start over as a software engineer at a Fortune 500 company.

At yet ANOTHER Fortune 500 company, I created professional development programming for the tech world off the side of my desk, moved into a role doing the same work for a 4k+ person organization, and singlehandedly created and ran programs that improved their employee satisfaction score by 6% in 6 months...

... and I burned out at that too. Are you catching the pattern yet? 😂

I finally realized that my intellect couldn't solve the perfectionism & people pleasing that was keeping me overstretched and exhausted.

(Can you relate?!)

I also realized that I was pouring my visionary nature and wild imagination into things that didn't give me ANY energy back... and I learned all of this through reconnecting with my body. 

On pure instinct I enrolled in a 200-hr yoga teacher training, and then dove into somatic work.

Over the next few years,  I learned the skills to build a safe haven inside of myself, and began to re-engage my once-closeted creative dreams of being a musical artist, healer and thought leader in a whole new way.

And I offer all the power and wisdom I've cultivated to YOU— so that you can become your Wild Artist self in a fraction of the time it took me.

The top thing my clients say to me, over and over? "I feel so safe with you. I can explore any part of myself, try new things, share insights I've never shared before... and I know I'm ok with you." 

I will never take this for granted.

I can keep up with your brilliant, analytical, talk-a-mile-a-minute mind and cut through the noise to help you see the emotions you're avoiding... and help you to feel them. And as you do, you get back to what you most want: Creating art on a daily basis & building the resilience to make creativity your main gig.

I'm here to help the once-little-kids-now-adults— who played pretend in their backyards for hours and performed songs they made up for their family— finally embrace the delusional yet UNDENIABLE knowing they've carried in their bodies all along... which is that you're meant to be an artist who changes the world with what they create.

No matter how crazy it may seem, I'm here to show you that your gut feeling hasn't led you astray, but instead is leading you HOME.

If you want the nitty gritty on my life path, here it is:

  • Completed my Bachelor & Master of Music, Violin Performance at Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University (with almost a liberal arts minor) in 2010 & 2011 respectively.

  • Gained a decade of experience performing at music festivals, concert series, events and weddings

  • Trained as a Suzuki Method instructor— this is where I internalized the belief that anyone is capable of anything given a supportive environment

  • Taught violin & early childhood music to hundreds of students, from ages 0-76

  • Retrained as a full-stack software engineer in 2015, and worked at companies ranging from startups to large enterprises

  • Reinvented myself again as a program manager for employee engagement and professional development in 2019, while talking anyone and everyone’s ear off about psychological safety

  • Became a certified yoga instructor through The Little Yoga Studio’s Teacher Training Program in 2021

  • Became a Certified Wayfinder Life Coach (via Martha Beck’s program, attended in 2021-2022) in 2023.

  • Became a certified Body Temple Dance Facilitator in September 2022, and continued study in 2023.

  • Completed a 9-month intensive somatic facilitator training from April 2024 to January 2025.

  • Actively pursuing a career in singing, songwriting and music production alongside my life coaching practice! (See here.)

I believe:

  • Anyone should be free to be themselves — sexual orientation, gender identity and more — and that the world benefits from us cherishing our diversity.

  • Toxic patriarchy and toxic capitalism are systems that not only live in our social structures, but in our minds.

  • Our bodies have so much wisdom to share about how to be whole; we just need to learn how to listen.

  • No one thing is “right” or “wrong”. There’s truth in paradox and in the gray.
