From the outside, my life looked successful: leadership roles, career wins, and the appearance of having it all together. Inside, I felt stuck and overwhelmed, constantly pushing harder to outrun the pressure building within me.
If you’ve ever felt the disconnect between how your life looks and how it actually feels, you’re not alone.
My turning point came when a surgery forced me to slow down. The strategies I had relied on for years (working harder, thinking more, pushing through) stopped working. That pause revealed something I hadn’t fully understood before:
Your nervous system is the engine behind how you think, decide, perform, and recover.
When your nervous system is supported everything feels easier and you’ll notice clarity returns and momentum follows.
Through tools like Cognomovement, I rebuilt my life from the inside out. I went from barely being able to stand to finishing a half marathon. More importantly, I regained steadiness, confidence, and the ability to move forward without burning out.
This work changed how I understand stress, burnout, and performance. Instead of focusing on symptom management or pushing harder, I work at the nervous system level - identifying and shifting the patterns that quietly influence how we respond, make decisions, and show up in our lives and businesses.
If you’d like a deeper look at how this approach works, you can learn more about Cognomovement here.
I work with high-functioning professionals, first responders and entrepreneurs who are driven, capable, and deeply self-aware and still feel stuck.
Many of the people I work with have already tried therapy, coaching, or personal development. They understand their patterns intellectually, yet continue to experience stress, burnout, or a sense that something internal is slowing them down.
If this sounds familiar, the Cognomovement & Coaching approach may be a fit.

It’s about removing what’s been in the way and learning how to work with your nervous system so growth becomes sustainable instead of exhausting.
When your nervous system is supported, change will happen naturally.

Katie believes that stress, burnout, and performance challenges are not signs that something is wrong with you, but signals from the nervous system that something needs support. When you work with the nervous system instead of pushing against it, clarity, confidence, and sustainable momentum become possible.
