TESTIMONIALS

  • My sons attended Katie’s "Little Meditators" program and enjoyed the sessions. At home as well as at school, we noticed a distinct decrease in hyperactivity and outbursts. Slowing down and being in the present is a valuable lesson for us all, but particularly for our children with their fully-scheduled lives. The earlier it is learned, the better.

  • Working with Katie and learning mindfulness has brought me a profound sense of inner peace and calmness. I appreciated how she tailored the sessions to my needs, making me feel truly understood and supported.

  • Katie is a gifted teacher whose Little Meditators class offered a quiet and reflective respite for my girls, age 8 and 10. I watch my girls use their meditation skills weekly, in both formal and less formal ways. As a parent, the ability to be alone in stillness, to sit with oneself in a compassionate, contemplative way, to be conscious and full… these are the best gifts I can give my children. Thank you, Katie, for helping my girls discover this path to mindfulness.
