My Background
My passion is to help people uncover their unique talents and strengths so they can be fully engaged in all aspects of their lives. My definition of “feeling good” means having the health, energy and vitality so you are able to accomplish all that you are destined to achieve. I developed my long-standing appreciation for this connection between total wellness and human performance during an 18 year career in marketing and information technology. Associated with many well-known firms, including Hewlett Packard, Digital Equipment, Clarify Inc, and Nortel Networks, my experience in the corporate world provides real-world insights. Coupled with my work within the health and non-profit sectors, I have developed an instinctive approach that helps my clients perform their best mentally, physically and emotionally.
In addition to earning MBA and BS Degrees in Management and Marketing, I’ve trained with The Coaches Training Institute and attained a Wellness Coach license through Wellcoaches.
I also hold personal training and nutrition counseling certifications from the Health and Fitness Institute and the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). I am also a certified consultant for Six Seconds Emotional Intelligence (SEI) Leadership Development and a Kolbe Certified Consultant™. I have a Black Belt in the Japanese martial art Aikido and I frequently use a somatic (body centered) approach to help my clients learn how to increase focus, reduce stress and build leadership presence.

MFA, Certified Yoga Instructor |

Katie's Background
Katie was introduced to yoga twenty years ago as a young actress. Years later, after earning her MFA in acting from Case Western Reserve University, Katie moved to New York City to pursue a career in the theater. It was there that she developed a committed yoga practice that inspired her to become a teacher. She was personally trained and certified by Cyndi Lee, founder and director of the prestigious OM Yoga Center in New York City.
During her time in New York, Katie became known for her direct, yet playful and relaxed style of teaching. Her distinct approach began to attract many students who were new to yoga or from corporate backgrounds. Her ability to communicate in a straightforward, yet easy manner appealed to those who might otherwise have felt uncomfortable “oming” in a room full of strangers.
Katie has since relocated back home to the Bay Area where she works privately with individuals and groups whose high-level corporate jobs demanded that they be at their best in stressful situations. Her understanding and appreciation for the pressures inherent in this work environment enables her to connect and work effectively with these. Katie is also a member of the teaching staff with the prestigious YogaStudio in Larkspur, California.
In her personal practice and her teaching, Katie is inspired by and dedicated to the process of waking up to the experience of life. She is a valued member of the Resolve Today consulting team helping us bring yoga into the corporate world.
