"What I like most about working with Kathleen is how she immediately makes me and everyone she works with feel at ease with her and with the others in the group. Her care for those she works with is evident from the first interaction and in every interaction. She challenges and pushes but is always there to lift you up, to laugh and cry with you, to hold you together."

"I love how [Kathleen] listens to the participants and delivers what they want or need. She tailors the classes to the group. That is so valuable. She is a beautiful soul who has a great appreciation for women uncovering their deeper truths."
Sharla Goodwin
"My biggest breakthrough from working with Kathleen is [the realization] that there are people out there, women out there, who want to make connections with other people. Real connections, deep and meaningful ones. I shared some of my most real memories in a room filled with women that I didn’t know. And now... I know who these women are, right now, at this moment in time, and they know me. It’s a gift I never expected to receive."
