Why work with Kat?

I'm a mindset coach and international opera singer.

I am also easily excitable, passionate, emotional, intuitive, and a little bit rebellious. That's why I decided in 2018 that my performance career was great (and I mean, it was really going really great!), but I wanted more. Because I'm insatiable, a go-getter, on a quest for total fulfillment? . . . You can take your pick.  But I believe when something calls to us, it's worth taking a deeper look. For me, I had always been fascinated by the way top performers' minds worked. What makes them tick? What are they doing that's different? How do I do more of that and less of . . . not that?

 

When I came to coaching, I was working SO HARD to do everything RIGHT. It would spin me out. I was in Type-A overdrive. I would sob after auditions that I didn't think went perfectly. I would meditate, but with the intention of fixing my rambling mind. I would make endless to-do lists. I had habit trackers on top of habit trackers. I would often practice to the point of exhaustion, finding myself in the practice rooms long after 10pm. I was quite disciplined. Except when I wasn't, because I was using most of my thinking and busy-ness as a distraction to actually procrastinate on the tasks that really mattered the most. I was often tightly wound in rehearsals, beating myself up to the point that it was difficult to enjoy the process.

 

I finally saw that my interest in top performers' thinking was valid, and that maybe it was MY thinking that was holding me back.

​

Fast forward a few years now, and it is crystal clear to me that all peak performance - particularly singing - starts in our minds. In that way, the key to unleashing everything - all of the technical growth you want, all of the expressive growth, and all of the joy - rests in your thinking.

So today I am a Certified Professional Coach and ELI-MP. What does that mean?

 

Basically it means I've spent hundreds of hours learning how to spot your patterns - your posture & gestures, the sound of your voice, the words you choose, the emotions you connect with, your habits - so that I get to come in with ninja-like questions and awareness and engage your mind in a new way that will change your whole relationship to yourself and your performing.

I'm a coach because I believe in the power of YOU, and I have seen first-hand what is possible when we start to organize our thoughts. For me, coaching is the single-best investment I made in my own career & life.

​

So let me help you, my fellow Type-A's, you perfectionists and ruminating thinkers, procrastinators and cyclical self-shamers, to separate yourselves from your thoughts. Together we can draw attention to your thinking, stop the self-sabotage, and find more career success, deeper artistry, and greater joy.
