HERE TO SUPPORT THE SUPPORTERS 🐾
We all know there’s a problem in animal care.
What if we can’t fix it, solve it, or change it, but we can still be okay along the way?
I used to think “What if” were the two scariest words in the English language. But that’s because I was only What if’ing the negative, dark, terrifying stuff.
There are just as many positive What if’s. Such as…
What if it goes well?
What if there’s a wonderful surprise?
What if it’s better than I imagined?
What if I can love myself through the tough times taking care of animals because I have the tools that show me how?
What if I am resilient and worthy and enough just as I am?
What if there is a great learning opportunity for me here in this?
What if I can give myself everything I need, without relying on others’ approval?
1:1 COACHING SESSIONS
You can love animals and yourself (without the guilt.) Inside 1:1 coaching, you talk, I listen. Experience wellness tools like breathwork and creative grief exercises if you’d like. This time is yours. Just for you.
GROUP WORKSHOPS
Working in animal care can feel isolating. It’s important to take the time to connect with your animal loving fellows, learn from one another, and realize you’re not alone. You’ll walk away empowered.
I write stories, advocate for animal people, & live for dogs.
I’M KATYA.

"Our breathwork session was the re-set that my body and mind needed. The impact of the one session has already been significant; I feel different and better, both physically and mentally."

A Love note From Me, to you:
You matter. You count. Just like the animals do.
If our wellness lacks because of or in spite of our work with animals, we might set up a paradigm where the only way to be well is to… leave them. But then who would be left to help the animals? We can foster our wellness and theirs, even our own wellness for theirs.
“As long as we believe that there is something that will permanently satisfy our hunger for security, suffering is inevitable.” - Pema Chodron
