Work With Me

What I offer

My programs and offerings are designed for curious, big hearted humans who want to find joy and fulfilment by doing what they love.

Project Self

A unique 6 month creative experience and deep-dive into you. This program cultivates courage, creativity, self compassion and is a true gift to yourself, your heart and your entire future. For women and non-binary only.

'I embarked on Project Self as a way to reconnect with that creative part of myself that I thought I had lost. My work had taken up so much space in my life that creativity had been squeezed out. Project Self is a safe and friendly place to rediscover and reintegrate parts of yourself that have been buried or isolated. Katie encourages each of us to explore through creativity, curiosity, and playfulness. She holds space for each of us with kindness and support, allowing each of us to tread our own path, together.'

to strategise the birth of your creative idea/business/project into the world
to change direction in your life/business/work
to prepare for awards or create a portfolio
to get support with improving your creative skills

Speaking, guest facilitation & collaborations

I am an experienced speaker, coach and facilitator, and I love collaborating with values-aligned creatives, coaches and educators.

I am a passionate and honest speaker and I share from the heart. I’m introverted but confident and neurospicy to add to the mix. I’m trauma informed, empathic and very adaptable.

Below are some of the keynotes I’ve delivered in the past, however I can customise a presentation or class about creativity, most business topics, self leadership and self discovery (including a special interest in the nervous system).

Being a better friend to yourself
5 ways to unlock your creativity and live a happier life
Feeling things: a personal story about love, art, self discovery and business
Running a profitable business without hustle and burn-out
How to be wildly creative: the secrets no-one is teaching

I’m also a certified Kindrêd meditation teacher and can work with small or large groups to connect with their body, intuition and imagination.

If you’d like me on your podcast, at your event or hosting a class for your membership or program, or if you’d like to collaborate on something bigger, get in touch!

'Katie delivers pure gold!'

1:1 Holistic business mentoring (6 months)

1:1 Mentoring is conducted on zoom in pre-booked 90 minute blocks. All sessions are recorded and made available to you afterwards.

It is my personal experience that a 6-month commitment is a challenging and stretchy thing to do. It’s your first big and necessary step towards courageous change. 6 months is also enough time to break habits, create new ones, and to get a lot of work done. If you’ve never done this before, you will need to put some trust in yourself, me and the process of what it means to be supported. It’s not easy, but it’s transformative.

There are so many parts of this process that I could talk on and on about. Every single tiny step we took together has made such a massive impact to my systems and processes both on a personal level and in a business sense. But I think the true magic here is in the way that you coach, from the place that you stand. Your deep (and considered) understanding of not only business, but people, and who they are in this world is what makes this experience truly exceptional. You facilitate a mindset shift. A re-learning of self. A new way of thinking. A new way of understanding. You have left me with a new level of confidence and self-belief that I have never had before. Along with all the tools I need to continue this journey. Signing up to Katie K was quite simply the very best decision I have ever made for myself and my business.

Transform: a 6 month private mentorship with Katie K

My approach

I believe there is an important connection between self, creativity and how we work, especially for creative practitioners and creative business owners.

I believe that creativity is the heart and soul of our society, and that it should be respected and celebrated just as much as non-creative professions. I also believe it plays an important role in our mental health and nervous system regulation. I am whole hearted and holistic in everything I do.

I am a big picture visionary, who is sensitive, empathic and trauma-aware. I don’t like formulas or fitting into boxes. Hundreds of shades of grey are more beautiful than black and white. I am an expert problem-solver and I use my abilities to help others flourish and carve out the life and business they deserve.

I don’t believe in working 50 weeks a year or 60 hours a week. I don’t believe in sacrificing mental health or family for work, even if you love what you do. And I definitely don’t believe in settling for $10/hour like so many business owners do just because they’re lucky enough to do what they love!

I have used my superpowers in my own businesses (I have two) to:

Design unique products and offerings that no-one else has thought of
Transform lives through creative practice and self exploration
Revolutionise customer service systems and procedures
Create powerful strategies and templates to manage pain points like marketing, finances and scheduling
Come up with new ideas that help my business to stand apart from everyone else’s, and so much more

I have a special interest in neuroscience and psychology and have been undertaking study in that area since 2020. I have tertiary qualifications in graphic design with a rich and varied work history prior to becoming a professional photographer and starting my first business. I have a long list of photography awards behind me, demonstrating just how hard I work to achieve my goals.

Am I the right coach or mentor for you?

I work with creatives and small business owners at any stage of your journey. I’m a big believer in trusting your instincts. If it feels right, it probably is!

If you can identify with one or more of the following, you and I are going to be the perfect team:

You have a business andand it’s doing ok, but you know you can do better and that there are areas you’re struggling with.
You’re new(ish) to business and you want someone in your corner to help you build the business of your dreams (because group programs and workshops just don’t cut it for you).
You want to change your business in some major way and you need guidance to do it well.
You have wanted a mentor for a while but haven’t ever done it, and you resonate with me and my story.
You feel like your unique circumstances are different to most people’s, and you want something fully customised.

If you want to work with me, you need to be willing to make changes and do the work. I am an open book and I am here for you: I will guide you, support you, be your biggest cheerleader and help you come up with strategies so you can move forwards confidently and create the life you dream of.

Mentoring can sometimes feel like traditional coaching – where we’re working through blocks and challenges together, sometimes it can feel like strategy sessions and sometimes it can feel consultative. I take my lead from you, but also, I guide you towards the outcomes that we identify together.

What we cover in 1:1 business mentoring

Mentoring is always customised to you and your unique situation, challenges and goals. You will create a vision for your future before we start, and you will likely create additional goals as we work together and as you make changes to your life and business.

The following list gives you an idea of some of the big topics that come up during mentoring, but this is not everything…

Time management. Designing a less hectic and more productive life for your business and your family. This is my superpower!

Strategy. Looking at the big picture. Setting goals, number crunching, creating a vision and a map to get there.

Workflow. Helping you get in control of what happens in your business on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis.

Personal development. Figuring out what you need, how to get rid of your blocks, how to start smashing goals and being the best version of you.

Pricing. Auditing your pricing and ensuring that you’re set up for profitability and practicality.

Client management. Developing processes, communicating well, dealing with objections, the psychology behind the client experience.

Managing finances. Taking the pain out of that big old mess of numbers that most of us don’t like very much and helping you create habits that will work for you.

Marketing. Getting bums on seats in a totally organised way. Planning in advance, so you’re not just reacting to the ebbs and flows of your business, but you’re in charge of them.   

Branding. Identifying what you need to do to develop, clarify and strengthen your brand through visuals, language and presence.
