About Katie Curtin
Why Consider Coaching with Me?
First of all, I know the terrain–I’ve been an activist, an artist, a healer, a community organizer, and a lifelong traveller. I am willing to take risks and have often jumped off cliffs in the interest of living a bigger and more fulfilling life. I have had my share of life challenges, and come through them.
Here are a few examples:
- After witnessing the killing of my former life partner, Peter, in 1995, in an armed robbery in Mexico, I worked through the rough terrain of loss and trauma and discovered the alchemical possibilities of grief.
- I hitchhiked through Northern China and Tibet.
- I participated in a brigade to build a daycare center in Nicaragua.
- I gave birth to my son Tonatiuh, a sweet miracle, just before my 46th birthday.

Who Is Katie Curtin?
Well, I am not a “barbie doll” coach who has got it all together and all that American Dream crap.
I am some who is warm, authentic and real, challenging, creative and oh so committed to the people I work with. I will go the extra mile with you so that YOU are living up to your talents. I am highly intuitive and am able to tune in with your deeper needs and values.
I am also someone who…
- is really good at brainstorming the ideas that allow you to create a lifestyle that suits your personality and talents.
- helps you get past any limiting beliefs that keep you stuck in the same old, same old…
- has a positive, yet honest approach to life
- is hard to shock (this gives you lots of room to be who you are)
- is comfortable with a full range of emotions, so whether you laugh, cry, rage or are quietly serene I can be with you where you are
I have over twenty years of experience as a
