Katie is a professional speaker, corporate trainer, self-care strategist, and executive coach for high achievers who take care of business at the expense of taking care of themselves. After experiencing her own breakdown from relentless productivity and self-neglect, Katie left her international sales career to rebuild her life from the ground up. Now she helps fellow high performers get things done without coming undone through keynote speaking, corporate training, and intensive 1:1 coaching.
Katie doesn't do spa-day self-care or fluffy motivational talks. She leads with tough love and compassionate accountability. Her methodology is grounded in her own lived experience of hitting rock bottom and rebuilding, combined with certifications from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and advanced training in Heroic Public Speaking. Katie meets you where you are, then holds you accountable for the changes you say you want to make. No fluff. No quick fixes. Just sustainable, supported systemic change you can actually adopt and benefit from.
Katie believes self-care isn't selfish—it's your duty. She helps clients change the way they change: from bullying to befriending, from critical to curious, from overwhelmed to overjoyed. Her work is built on the understanding that we must parent ourselves, set boundaries unapologetically, and refuse to settle for mediocrity in how we treat ourselves. As Katie says: "How dare you deprive us of your best self?"
Facing debilitating disease that threatened to compromise and shorten her life, Katie made a silent vow that if she could recover, she would devote her days to ensuring others never had to walk her path. Her work teaching doers how to be is Katie's way of repaying a debt. She figured out the impossible, what felt so "un-figureoutable'…how to take care of business and take care of herself. Katie created bnourished (the planner, the methodology, the brand) to give anyone ready to leave the detrimental habits behind a day-to-day guide to actually practicing self-care, not just taking about it. The bnourished framework turns self-care into a concrete plan not an afterthought.
Katie spent years as an international sales executive working across the US, Europe and Canada before her health crisis forced a career pivot. She’s certified as a holistic health coach through the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, trained as a raw food chef & instructor, completed the Graduate, Fellowship & Business Mastery programs at Heroic Public Speaking, and graduated form the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program. She is also a Leadership Rhode Island alumna and active member of the National Speakers Association.
Katie is right for you if you're a high achiever who's exhausted from doing everything for everyone, drowning in "too muchness," and over the overwhelm. She's right for you if you're tired of trying to figure it out alone and ready to do the actual work of change. Katie is NOT right for you if you're looking for quick hacks, surface-level advice, or someone who will tell you what you want to hear instead of what you need to hear.
This is Katie's core philosophy: productivity and self-care are not mutually exclusive. You can be a high performer without sacrificing your health, relationships, or sanity. "Getting things done without coming undone" means learning to manage yourself (not just your time), setting boundaries without guilt, prioritizing what truly matters, and building sustainable systems that support your wellbeing instead of draining it.
We have high standards for every aspect of our lives except self care where mediocrity is tolerated.
