Hello, I’m Kat

Perhaps you are longing for a different way of living and working.
Slower. Simpler. More creative. More purposeful. More true to who you are now.

After three decades in global communications, burnout led me to Antigua, where nature restored my wellness and inspired the new way of working I was longing for: True Business.

Today I work with visionaries, creatives, teachers and change makers to lead with the wisdom of their heart and design work, business and life in alignment with their true essence and what matters most to them.

My Business Roots

I bring over three decades of experience working alongside entrepreneurs and global brands pioneering social and environmental change. This includes the Homeless World Cup, Nike, Vodafone Foundation, UEFA, United Nations, Beyond Sport, Eric Cantona, Colin Farrell, Muhammad & Lonnie Ali.

From founding Authentic PR to leading global communications campaigns, I’ve raised millions and reached billions with positive messages for meaningful impact. This includes the films Kicking It, narrated by Colin Farrell, selected for Sundance Film Festival acquired by US Sports Channel ESPN, and The Beautiful Game with Bill Nighy, produced by Blueprint Pictures for Netflix.

I also know what it is to burn out by giving too much and under valuing my contribution, and to become sick and tired of the greed and the current growth at all costs business model. This inspired me to find a better way of being in business.

I followed my heart to Antigua.

Here, nature restored my wellness and inspired True Business shared in the book Creative Happy Work: Follow Your Heart to a Thriving Business, Life and World.

The True Business model has supported hundreds of people to align with their soul’s calling and create meaningful work. This included a client publishing a book that sold 500,000 copies and funded a school in India; and a client launching a sustainability marketing agency reaching a £7M valuation within two years.

Intuitive and imaginative, I love to guide you to connect to the vision held deep within your heart of your True Business bring this fully to life. This is your life’s work and legacy.
