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

I am passionate about cultivating a more connected and compassionate world, and I’m here to support you in transforming not just your daily life, but the way you experience life itself.

My work draws on a Master's in Educational Psychology, certification as a trauma-informed Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, and ongoing training in counselling and mindfulness-based psychotherapy — woven together with over two decades of personal Buddhist study and practice.

But beneath all of that, what has driven me since childhood are questions you might be carrying, too:
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?

I'd love to explore these questions with you. For my full story and philosophy, visit my bio below.

my approach

the secret formula to a life well-lived:
mindful awareness + a wise and open 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.

This is, at its heart, an educational process. These are real skills — to learn, to practice, and to embody in ways that genuinely transform how you live and relate.

Through somatic presence, guided meditation, and compassionate inquiry, we bring awareness to the patterns shaping how you feel, think, and act. We investigate what it's like to be in this body, to work with this mind, to tend to this heart. And slowly, we learn to flourish through change — releasing what no longer serves, and remembering what was never truly lost.

My two signature frameworks — the MERITS model for holistic wellbeing and the mind-heart integration process for deeper practitioners — offer structured pathways into this work.

Clients describe me as warm, yet discerning — soft, but precise. We go far beyond surface-level self-improvement, diving into the deeper truths of your being and mapping a life aligned with greater purpose, contentment, and peace.

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

    - Course Participant

  • "The resources and practices are super helpful. I am really enjoying the classes and a big part of that is because of Katie's passion when she's teaching."

    -H, 34

  • "Everything I know about mindfulness, I learned from Katie. It is about inner work, and calm is not a synonym. It is about being present and knowing what you need. Taking care of yourself and of others... The practices have changed me and brought me wellbeing. It has honestly changed my life."

    - 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

  • “I often find myself wishing I could know everything you know and learn from your experiences. I could sit and talk with you for hours—there is so much wisdom to absorb. You have a rare depth and presence, and being with you feels soul-nourishing.”

    - Atta, retiree

  • Snow-capped mountains under an overcast sky with rolling hills in the foreground.

    learn to be present with the fullness of life; 10,000 joys and 10,000 sorrows

  • Pink and white clouds in the sky with a flock of small black birds flying above them.

    create a world you are inspired by; life is as beautiful as you allow it to be.

  • Colorful ocean waves during sunset or sunrise with a clear sky.

    our greatest power lies in truly knowing ourselves; only then are peace and freedom possible.
