Where do you want to go?
Hi & Welcome!
I’m Coach Kat and I help teens in middle and high school navigate life with -
- more grace and less self-contempt
- more presence and less anxiety
- more ease and less drama
- more confidence and less self-doubt
Teens who work with me achieve small wins quickly, that build big momentum and lead to their next level self. They find empowerment that opens up their beliefs about what’s possible for them and learn the self-growth skills to get there!
What is Wellness Coaching??
Most people hear “wellness” and think it’s about healthy eating and being physically active. While they’re not wrong, it’s actually about so much more! Your overall well-being includes many aspects of your life.
- Social
- Mental
- Emotional
- Intellectual
- Digital
- Spiritual
Teens have teachers in school and coaches for extra-curriculars. A wellness coach fills in these oh-so-important gaps, using a proven approach that is individualized for your teen. The results? Happier, more resilient teens leading higher quality lives!
How’s it work?
I typically meet with my clients on Zoom once/week over a 3-6 month period. We’ll start with a longer initial appointment (60-90 mins) to get acquainted and help me more fully understand their current situation, as well as their desires for where they want to be and/or how they want to feel.
Subsequent sessions are typically 30-45 mins and that’s when we’re digging into the work! What habits can we begin to tweak? What mindsets can we start to shift? What challenges can we anticipate along the way and how might we overcome them?
Teens create their own action items each week and brainstorm paths to overcome potential challenges. They then put their plans into action and we reconvene to share, celebrate, troubleshoot, and plan what’s next!

Frequently Asked Questions
How is coaching different from therapy?
Coaching is all about creating positive changes that lead to your goals or next level self. It’s future-focused and solution-oriented. Therapy is more about understanding psychological challenges and typically focuses more on the past. There may be some overlap in broad topics like mental or emotional wellness, but distinctions are clear when you drill down to a specific situation. If a teen is temporarily sad and frustrated because they had to move in the middle of high school, a wellness coach may be able to support with mindset and creating action items toward feeling back to their self. If a teen is so sad that they’ve withdrawn from family/friends and normal activities, they should receive help from a therapist.
Are in-person sessions an option?
Yes! I’m currently based out of Yokota Air Base in Japan and I’m happy to meet in person with local teens.
Is it confidential?
Yes. Everything discussed in sessions is 100% confidential. There is one exception: if I’m made aware of a risk of harm to self or others, I must report it.
What are your qualifications?
University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point, Health & Wellness Coaching Certificate
Dr. Sears Wellness Institute, Health Coach Certificate, Families Lifestage

Additionally, I’ve been working with kids since I was a teen myself. I’ve raised two kind, empathetic, resilient, hard-working, and ambitious young men. And I’ve been doing my own self-growth work for over 20 years. I walk this path in my own life and it lights me up to share it with others!
