About me:
Hi, I’m Katrina. It’s nice to meet you.
I am a health and relationship coach for people who are empathic and highly sensitive.
My husband and I have been married for 18+ years. We have one daughter who is in high school.
When I was looking for a spouse, I had no idea what kind of person would be a good fit for me. I had some vague idea that my relationship would be based on helping the other person heal and overcome their past trauma. However, I’ve learned that this is NOT a good strategy for building a healthy, long term relationship.
My husband rejected that premise outright and insisted that we build a level partnership, where we each bring our adult selves to the table.
Having grown up with enmeshed and codependent family dynamics, this was a big sea change for me. I had to reexamine many of my assumptions that ran on autopilot and embrace a new framework for how I approach relationships.
With what I’ve learned in the process of building a stable marriage, I would like to help others who are struggling to find a compatible partner, taking into account the unique needs and challenges that come with having a more sensitive nature.
My educational background:
I am a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and a certified Health Coach. I also hold a BA in World Religions.
My Approach
Navigating life is different for those of us who operate more on the right side of the brain.
We tend to approach life as a spiritual practice, constantly working to grow and become better people. We seek meaning and purpose in our daily activities. We strive to build deep and meaningful connections, especially with those closest to us.
Operating in a left brain society means we often disregard our intuition. This can lead us astray, especially when it comes to relationships.
To get to the heart of relationship imbalances, both within ourselves and with others, I focus on going beyond the surface level to examine the deeper dynamics and patterns at play.
Engaging in self honesty is the only way to reach the truth, and the truth is what sets us free.
