My Approach
Our mind-body approach, grounded in data, rests upon three fundamental principles:
Acknowledging Human Uniqueness
Drawing from Gallup's research, we recognize that every individual possesses unique talents and strengths. To fully unleash their potential over the long term, tailored programs are essential for creative high performers.
Embracing Mind-Body Leadership in the New Era of Work
As we enter a new era of work, prioritizing well-being at every stage is imperative for sustaining longevity within the ecosystem. Prioritizing well-being ensures resilience and endurance in the face of evolving challenges.
Unleashing Our Highest Potential
By tapping into our highest genius and channeling it into the world, we not only make our greatest impact but also experience profound satisfaction and fulfillment. It's about discovering and releasing our unique gifts to create meaningful contributions to society. It is my lived experience and belief that finding and giving your gifts away will heal your mind, body, and spirit and lead to a fulfilling legacy.
Ontological coaching is an approach to personal and professional coaching that focuses on fundamental aspects of being, existence, and reality. Rooted in ontology, which is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature of being, ontological coaching explores how individuals perceive themselves, others, and the world around them.
​
In ontological coaching, coaches help clients develop a deeper understanding of their own ways of being, including their beliefs, emotions, and habitual patterns of thinking and behavior. By raising awareness of these underlying aspects of being, clients are empowered to make conscious choices and create meaningful change in their lives.
Ontological coaching often involves a holistic approach that considers the interconnectedness of various domains of life, including relationships, work, health, and personal fulfillment.
Kate may use a combination of conversational techniques, reflective exercises, and somatic practices to support you in your journey of self-discovery and growth.
​
Overall, ontological coaching seeks to facilitate transformation at a fundamental level, enabling individuals to cultivate greater authenticity, resilience, and effectiveness in both their personal and professional lives.
Through our Body-Based Breakthrough Sessions, you not only experience immediate relief from stress and anxiety, but also train your nervous system for long-term resilience against future stressors.
Regular practice can rewire your nervous system for increased calm and less reactivity. This process helps you handle life's challenges with greater ease and stability, allowing you to remain confident and clear-minded in any situation, ultimately leading to a more regulated and liberated self.
​
Regular somatic coaching can help you:
-
Heal from previous pain and trauma
-
Quiet your mind, and facilitate peace and clarity
-
Enhance the quality of your sleep
-
Strengthen your immune system
-
Sharpen your focus and concentration
"Strengths intelligence" refers to the ability to recognize, understand, and leverage one's unique strengths as identified through the Clifton Strengths assessment. It involves not only being aware of one's top strengths but also possessing the knowledge and insight to apply them effectively in various aspects of life, including work, relationships, and personal development.
​
Individuals with strengths intelligence are adept at identifying patterns of behavior and thought that align with their dominant strengths. They understand how these strengths contribute to their success and fulfillment, and they actively seek opportunities to capitalize on them in pursuit of their goals.
​
Moreover, strengths intelligence involves recognizing and appreciating the strengths of others, as well as understanding how to collaborate and complement each other's abilities within teams and organizations. By cultivating strengths intelligence, individuals can unlock their full potential, maximize their performance, and thrive in their endeavors.
For more than 30 years, HeartMath Institute has been researching the heart-brain connection and learning how the heart influences our perceptions, emotions, intuition and health.
​
HeartMath® helps you tap into the power and intelligence of your heart – your heart’s intuition – which awakens you to the best version of yourself.
​
Studies conducted with over 14,000 people have shown improvements in mental & emotional well-being in just 6-9 weeks.
​
The Inner Balance Coherence Plus (wearable technology) uses heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback to help you access a healthy, high-performance state called “heart coherence,” which balances your mind and emotions. This helps prevent stress and clears your thinking for more effective choices.
​
Learn to elevate your emotional state in the moment and become aware of and release accumulated stress so you feel better and think more clearly.
