Info about Katie Whittier:

Katie Whittier helps high sensory individuals heal their anxiety, pain or self-doubt by training their nervous system so they can live with the ease and sovereignty they deserve.

She began her career in politics, working on such high-profile campaigns as President Barack Obama’s 2008 race and U.S. Senator Patty Murray’s 2010 re-election. She went on to serve as a communications consultant for several high-visibility organizations until a major mental breakdown changed the course of her life.

Three years into her recovery, she was diagnosed with autism, and that’s when her healing journey began in earnest. She developed an intense interest in how the brain and nervous system work, and how neurological differences impact how we experience the world. To that end, she studied applied neurology and used its techniques to process her past traumas, de-weaponize her anxiety and develop the resilience necessary to live free from her old masks.

She now coaches others to carve their own healing path so they can leverage their highly sensitive brains to propel their lives toward the abundance and freedom they deserve.
