Katie listens carefully to what you tell her verbally, but she also listens for what your soul is saying silently. ~ RR
The world seems to be unraveling at the seams, doesn’t it? It may sound counterintuitive, but we Sensitive Souls wouldn’t have missed it for the world! Anyone alive today is here by design and what each of us thinks, feels, say and does right now contributes to the collective energy from which we all draw living examples of how to be human.
Deep down, many of us feel that we have an essential role to play in this time of planetary awakening. Each soul embodied now is being exposed to the stressful conditions of an accelerated process of planetary evolution. Evolution is stressful! It is understandable that alienation, apathy and antagonism would prevail in our culture at such times, as we are a deeply traumatized people trying to make sense of a confusing world that challenges all of our inherited belief systems.
Wholesome connection is the only antidote to what ails us. Connection is the underlying principle of all life on earth. We were designed to be “plugged in” to self, others, God and Nature in a dynamic, evolving web of unfolding creation. Animated by the promptings of the soul, each of us has incarnated with a unique mission:
We each came to the planet of free will at this time to participate in planetary evolution. Choosing to become the most humane version of yourself now serves your soul, other souls and the restoration of the earth to its pristine condition.
Even within a dystopia of disconnection, we each have the power to generate peace, prosperity and harmony by intentionally restoring our connection to Source. Like lighthouses, when we ground ourselves in physical reality and also cooperate with insights we receive from the divine, non-physical reality, we can shine ever more of our light and become a welcoming port for others in the tumultuous storm that accompanies massive, planetary awakening.
Sensitive Souls require special care and feeding in order to thrive as the best version of themselves. When you skimp on self care and are mainly focused out there, it’s very easy to become unbalanced and out of sync with yourself and your inner guidance. When you ignore, block or sever your divine connection, it’s like trying to operate the machinery of your life without your personal instruction manual.
By allowing yourself to get churned up by upsetting outer conditions, you may be unwittingly choosing to impoverish yourself. By donating of too much your vital energy to what’s wrong, you lack the resources you need to thrive as your soul intended. Outside influences can divert you from the path that your soul designed, making your life much harder than it needs to be. By restoring your connection and following the directions your soul conveys, you will align you with a more graceful and authentic way of being you.
Ubiquitous digital conditions can even further distract you from being present to yourself, others, God and Nature. Since the soul is part of everything, you feel distress on some level whenever you disconnect from your Real Self, others, God and Nature. Like a nudge from the soul, physical, mental or emotional discomfort can motivate you to change directions and recalculate your path according to your soul, which is your personal North Star, meant to guide you expertly through your life.
When RR approached me for help two years ago, she was suffering with the symptoms of disconnection: frustration, sadness and a sense of being an unhappy island unto herself. The following testimonial she wrote for me is really an endorsement of her willingness to do the hard and courageous work of honestly facing herself and the healing power of her restored connections.
Serving as her guide is an expression of my soul’s mission, so in that we share a sacred bond of connection in this magnificent adventure of being alive in such tumultuous times.

I was introduced to Katie when I discovered her newsletter, Solace for Sensitive Souls on Substack in 2021. The word “solace” really struck me because I was at a low point and thought I could really use some of that solace! And the fact that she called her readers “Sensitive Souls” also spoke to me because I had already determined that my hyper-sensitivity to what people thought about me, or said to me, was making me miserable. When my relationship problems became unbearable for me and the people in my life, I decided to ask for her professional help. For the last two years, once every other week for an hour, I talk to Katie on Zoom.
In the introduction to her website Katie writes:
If you’re highly sensitive, you need practical strategies to help you to make the most of your sensitivity. You can learn to communicate effectively, set healthy boundaries and maintain your balance, even when the world around you feels overwhelming.
If your sensitivity is disrupting your peace...
If your emotional reactions cause conflict in your relationships...
If you’ve never learned to nurture your wellbeing...
I checked off every single item mentioned on that list. I needed help with all of them, especially learning how to communicate more effectively. Katie taught me how to use Non-Violent Communication, which helped me get my point across without “blowing my stack.” And right now she is working with me on some physical exercises for my back and joint issues. She is really an all-purpose coach/counselor/health advisor.
I believe that God/Source works through her in powerful and profound ways. She is definitely tuned in on a higher frequency, which makes her extremely intuitive. She listens carefully to what you tell her verbally, but she also listens for what your soul is saying silently. Katie counsels from her own personal experience. She’s one of those “wounded healers” who endures hard times and then turns around to use that experience to help others. She models what she teaches in her own life, so she knows what works.
Katie’s counseling style is very welcoming and relaxed. I have to say that you just can’t help falling in love with her. She treats you with genuine care, acceptance, respect, tenderness and kindness. Never is there a hint of judgment. Of course, that doesn’t mean that she’ll let you get away with anything that is not serving your best interests. One of her most lovable characteristics, as well as one of her most effective “techniques” is her “Jersey Girl” sense of humor. Some things may be difficult for you to face, but at the same time necessary for you to acknowledge in order for you to progress the way your soul desires. So Katie will strategically use her humor to gently but pointedly nudge you to see it. But she will never pressure you.
Katie is a professional in every respect and she takes her commitment to her clients very seriously. The work she does with them is not her “job,” it’s her vocation, and she is devoted to it. It’s just who she is. She lives it and breathes it. It’s been an education and an adventure for me working with Katie.
I feel so much happier and healthier emotionally and psychologically than I did when I first started this spiritual journey with her. And it’s not over yet. There is still so much more to learn, and I look forward to it.
Although this work isn’t easy, it's definitely worth it. You feel so liberated when you are able to let go of some of the baggage that was holding you back, for many years, in my case. I can hardly express my gratitude enough to God and to Katie to be having this experience with someone I trust so unequivocally.

If you’re ready to explore your connection with your Real Self, others, God and Nature, contact me. When you’re ready to do the inner work that can free you from the suffering of disappointments and broken bonds as RR did, I will help you to listen for what your soul is saying silently.
"Wholesome connection is the only antidote to what ails us." Indeed.
"An unhappy island unto herself". I certainly was. But the challenges keep on coming. The thing about this journey is that it's on-going, an evolutionary process, as you say. Some of my connections have decidedly improved since the start of that process, as I learned healthier ways to communicate and interact with others, not to mention the art of tapping into my own soul for help.
I've got some distance to go there though, but luckily for me, you happen to be quite the "Soul Whisperer".
I have to laugh at what my husband asked me when I first started meeting with you, Katie. He said, "How long is this going to last? and when will you know that you're healed??" I told him, "I don't know, but it seems to be open-ended, and the sky's the limit." The deeper one goes within, the higher you're elevated to authenticity, self acceptance, and The Real You. It is frustrating, painful and embarrassing at times, but there are rewards along the way, and as you often like to ask your clients, "What?? You got something better to do??" LOL.
