I believe that the most important thing we have to offer anyone, including ourselves, is our authentic, compassionate presence.

Hi! I’m Kate, thank you for your interest and for taking the time to learn about me.

I began my professional life at 16 and worked as a top model for over a decade. I made an impact by being one of the first to take an active stand for body inclusivity and sustainability in the fashion industry. At the height of my career, I appeared on the covers and pages of the world’s most iconic magazines and was named one of the 50 most beautiful people in the world by People Magazine.

I moved on from modeling by studying development economics at Harvard, focused on market-based approaches to forest conservation and poverty reduction. I then pursued a 15+ year career in climate finance, including advocacy, impact investing, and venture capital investing. 

In 2018, I felt called to personal growth work and spirituality. I began studying Zen Buddhism and meditation and attended silent retreats and monasteries. During this time I worked with the old wounds of a childhood eating disorder and the newer scars of a painful divorce at midlife. I reckoned with my predisposition to high-intensity and high sensitivity, gaining a better understanding of how these aspects of myself inform my personal and professional relationships. My coaching practice arises from my healing journey which strengthened my capacity for empathy, compassion, and curiosity.

I love being a mom to my teenage son who is my greatest teacher. I’ve served on the boards of multiple non-profits and youth sports organizations. I’m an avid sports fan, and spend my free time hiking, wandering, and camping by the sea and in the mountains.
