    — Carla

  • "Taking Katie's classes has helped me tremendously with my confidence in opening up and taking chances. Being a part of a wonderful community has helped me a lot with not only my confidence but also my depression. Creating art and or working on writing helps me a lot. When I create by writing or making some kind of art I'm in my happy place. Feel very happy and free like I can conquer anything. "

    — Erinn

  • "I joined her community and it has been a complete game changer for me." From using art as meditation, introducing me to art supplies that I had never heard before or been intimidated by, trying new styles of art and how to bring a little practice of art into your life everyday - it has been incredible!"

    — Lisa B.

  • "One thing I love about Katie’s groups & classes are how doable and realistic they are for people who are busy or struggle to put aside a ton of time for something new (even if it might be beneficial!) I love the gentle nudges to make sure you’re staying engaged and keeping promises to yourself, the community time, the mindful art exercises - honestly I’m loving it all! I’m still working on stepping outside of the safety zone when I’m making art - but I can already feel my perfectionism rearing its head less as I create. Totally worth every penny.”

    — Danielle

  • "This writing class provided me with the tools needed to form new habits around my creativity and writing. Every day there was a goal to hit, which feed into stacking new habits like an artist date, artist walk, morning pages or meeting my writing quota for the day. This class has flexibility and the option to be in the community with your cohort at whatever capacity feels right for you."

    — Nicole

  • "Katie has created such a welcoming and nurturing community in her groups! She's MADE to facilitate, and guide people deeper into their creative, wonderful selves. It doesn't hurt that she has a fantastic sense of humor :) If you're seeking connection and community, I encourage you to join one of Katie's groups—I'm so glad I took the leap! I can't think of a better way to greet 2024 than with some great books and meaningful connection♥️"

    — Tanya

  • "This is big for me. I just submitted a poem to a magazine for publication. I've never done this before. I don't share my poetry with anyone... The fact that I sent it to strangers who are actually going to read my poem is significant, liberating."

    — Darcie

  • "First, Katie has the most soothing voice and she is always so positive. A plus with this class is that I got back into the habit of writing; however, if I fell short of the daily goal I did not feel guilty or irritated at myself. It's a wonderful experience."

    —Carla
