Mounds of evidence show that connecting with nature can reduce anxiety, depression, PTSD, and even ADHD. Nature connection can also improve mood, sleep, resilience, mindfulness, cognitive abilities, and physical health. How can this be?
Wellbeing is rooted in belonging and purpose. Belonging and purpose are created by our environment, so we modern humans are pretty confused. After all, we didn’t co-evolve with cars and computers for millennia. We co-evolved with the natural world. In the most ancient way, we belong to nature. Because of this, we have a bevy of untapped capabilities to communicate with the land and its inhabitants. In a society that insists on staying separate from nature, we suffer from loneliness and despair. Most of us don’t even know that what we’re yearning for is reconnection.
Healing starts when we reconnect with our nature community. Uncertainty and anxiety give way to clarity and vitality. We discover our true nature.

This allows us to uncover hidden meaning that only shines through when we use the right lens. It’s playful. And deep. Integral theory follows a long line of thought leaders, such as Abraham Maslow, Jean Gebser, Ken Wilbur, and many more. Master coach Linda Bark, PhD translated these theories into practical frameworks for transformational coaching, and I studied with her. At the same time, I trained in Nonviolent Communication (NVC) and The Work That Reconnects (go Joanna Macy!) and later ran NVC workshops at Google.

This intensive program, along with various nature-based workshops from the Stalking Wolf lineage (Tom Brown, Michael Jospe), coyote mentoring (Jon Young, Ellen Baas), and my own life experiences form my perspective on nature-based coaching. I have gratitude and respect for so many who have shared their wisdom.

Most recently, I led global content strategy for Google’s Digital Wellbeing initiative and Wellbeing Lab, where I advocated for DEI and intentional relationships with our environments to improve mental wellbeing. Somewhere along the (wavy) line, I published a couple books and a podcast on nature-based wellbeing.

Enough about me…let’s hear from my previous clients!
Coach Kate
What previous clients are saying…
“This coaching program was very interesting and incredibly unique. I wanted to try something different and this program gave me that experience! Kate is a calm and reassuring presence, and she has great insights! I learned new insights and new tools through this program, and really appreciated Kate’s willingness to meet me where I was and her patience. Thank you, Kate!”
“An opportunity to learn and adopt a new way of thinking of my life, from the day to day to larger life goals. I found the conversations and tools learned enlightening, empowering, and enabling to navigate a very much needed change of mindset, spirits, and actions to achieve my personal and professional goals.”
“This program helped remind me what is really important while occupying this planet: connection with nature = connection with oneself. I was able to interrupt the tech loop I have been on to realize other possibilities and to act on those.”
“I felt completely seen by Kate, through the lens of not only my individual psyche, but also ecological, social, political, cultural. The coaching relationship is what I think the most powerful part of the program. There is a sense of “working at the speed of the life force/mystery”. This made me feel open and trusting of whatever happens. It’s counterintuitive, but powerful things indeed happen this way.”
