About Me

Hi! My name is Katlyn, and I’m happy you’re here!

I am a certified Life and Health Coach, and I love to help women change the habits that are keeping them stuck, so they can live abundant, vibrant lives.

I am passionate about helping you dream big again so you can meet your goals and reach for your dreams. I believe mindset and stress management are important factors in this, and often it is necessary to address stress and negative mindsets before we jump into your goals and dreams.

This is the Long Story…

If you had told me in September, 2016 I would be a certified Health and Life coach in about five year’s time, I don’t think I would have believed you. I was in one of the lowest spots of my life so far, and couldn’t see a way forward. The turmoil in my family’s life, including loss of loved ones, personal health problems, family health emergencies, and unexpected life changes, were taking their toll.

We’ve all been in that place where it is suddenly dark and it hurts too much to look forward. Goals and dreams weren’t on my radar anymore by 2016 – it was enough to deal with the day in front of me.

In 2017 I began a process of rebuilding my health and mindset. AKA – learning to deal with the stress in my life in a healthy way. I began learning things about emotions and mental scripts and breathing techniques and the parasympathetic nervous system and the sympathetic nervous system, and too much more to mention here. In short, a whole new world was opening up to me. A world I hadn’t realized existed before and I wasn’t sure how I had lived without. It helped me, but it also fascinated me, and slowly I began to see things in a different light – and with a little more hope.

As I progressed, I began to wonder – what new thing was I going to learn? What else could I do to improve myself? What breakthrough was just around the corner?

That’s not to say I went from a crushed glass bowl to a helium-filled balloon, bouncing around in the sky all happy and care-free. Nope. Much of the time I felt I was frustrated, cranky, and really, really tired. But the main thing is, I was on the path. I had committed to the path. I was learning to try and not give up during the ups and downs of the journey.

As I began to feel better physically, I began feeling better mentally and emotionally as well. The world seemed to be opening up for me in different ways. I saw possibilities again. I began thinking, “I wish I could do something like what my chiropractor does. I can’t imagine anything more fulfilling.” My chiropractor was the first person to introduce me to the idea of rebuilding my health and mindset, and I continued to be intrigued. When COVID-19 hit and we went on lockdown, I took some of that time to seriously consider the trainings to do what that chiropractor does. But something just didn’t seem right.

To tell the truth, I was discouraged. I questioned why this couldn’t be the “right thing”..

Fast-forward a little and I found out it was because God had other plans – plans tailor-made to fit me. In December of 2020, my mom showed me a website about becoming a health and life coach. I had never heard of such a thing before, but as I read through what it meant to be a health and life coach, it was as if everything I had been learning and wanting to do for so long was clicking into place like those last few pieces on a jigsaw puzzle when you finally turn them the right way. 

Coaching brought in many aspects of what I found so fascinating in what I had been learning, and this felt right. I spoke with an advisor at the school and signed up for the program just before Christmas, 2020.

Everything inside me was congruent with this decision. I knew then and I know now, that THIS is what I am meant to be doing. THIS is what I have been prepared for. Everything seemed right about it, and for once in my life – I had no doubts. 

I constantly look back at the road that brought me here. I’m learning to look forward at the road I am traveling now. I’m still working on my journey – I still have bad days – I still get stuck. But now I have a lot of good days, too, and I realize we all need help getting unstuck – we all need each other – we aren’t meant to walk life alone.

I don’t have it all together, I’m in no way the perfect coach. But I’m learning, and now I can see that the best days are yet to come.
