Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of coaching, mentoring, and teaching hundreds of thousands of people how to create and maintain happy, healthy relationships.
Many of my amazing students were people who, like you, were familiar with the popular concept of attachment styles as a way to describe how we all create and sustain (or don’t!) close relationships.
Formed in reaction to what happened or didn’t happen to you at the beginning of your life, your attachment style has been playing out in all of your adult relationships, often in heart-wrenching and deeply discouraging ways.
The two attachment styles that tend to cause the most heartache are the Avoidant (or “Love Avoidant,”) and Insecure/Anxious (or “Love Addict”) types.
No matter how badly you might want to have loving relationships that serve as a foundation for you to create a happy life, many of us are unknowingly holding onto assumptions about ourselves, others and love that are inconsistent with manifesting and sus- taining well-being in love.
The truth is, just knowing what your attachment style isn’t enough.
Your relational patterns will not change until you identify and shift the limiting beliefs that you formed in childhood in response to relational trauma at their core — and discover new ways of relat- ing to yourself and others that support you to find and keep love.
Those who have Secure Attachment have much more satisfying and stable unions. For them, love and closeness gets better and more beautiful with each passing year, and serves as a foundation for them to live their best lives.
After many years of studying those whose relationships are not only happy and healthy, but also flourish over time, I’ve found there are several key relational habits that those with Secure Attachment consistently demonstrate — that people with Insecure/Anxious or Avoidant attachment styles just don’t do.
Thankfully, these healthy habits are highly learnable.
I created an online course to help you shift into a healthier place within yourself from which to generate your connec- tions. I will walk you through each step of how you can begin having healthier, happier, more stable and loving connections as your new norm.
“It’s amazing what happens when you practice showing up in new ways… You get hard evidence that beliefs are relational, and you see that you have the power to change them. For me, the simple act of choosing to speak up rather than withdraw my energy when l’m upset has made a huge difference in how others respond to me. I now see that l’m someone who has the power to connect with others, and that I am a person who’s valued and sought out by others… This work is awesome!”

“I show up very differently. I’m stronger, funnier, more open to others and even bolder, though this wasn’t even something I knew I wanted! I’m making more friends, laughing a lot more, getting no passive aggressive remarks (used to get them all the time). This in turn has hugely impacted my sense of hope, connection and self-worth. As well as how much fun I’m having! I truly love this work.”

In these opening sessions, you’ll identify your Attachment Style and gain clarity on why stability and longevity in love has been challenging for you.
You will also identify and release the specific core beliefs that have been at the heart of these unhealthy habits, and learn how to transform and evolve beyond them.
So much about your current attachment style is unconscious and primitive — it’s reactive and automatic, like a breath you take without even thinking…
Katherine will help you understand the core consciousnesses from which you’ve habitually generated your connections and wake you up to a newer – and truer – story! One that will set you free to create happier, healthier love that can last over time.
Over the course of four (4) 2-hour classroom sessions with Katherine, you’ll learn the secrets to happy, long-lasting and resilient relationships as we discover and adopt the 4 key relational habits of those who have Secure Attachment.
Most teachings will tell you that if you have an Avoidant or Anxious Attachment Style, you’ll need to get into an intimate relationship with someone who has a Secure Attachment style in order to evolve beyond it. While it’s true that being with a person who has a healthy attitude towards closeness is healing and helpful, just waiting and hoping that fate will smile on us by bringing someone with secure attachment into our lives seems like a long shot.
The truth is, you have the power right now to begin learning and emulating the core relational habits of those who were raised with two perfect parents and in ideal conditions. Those who feel organically safe to love another human being fully without all of the push-pull, up-down craziness that comes with untransformed attachment wounds.
Once you learn these healthy habits, your relationships will not only stabilize but begin bringing out the highest and best of who you are and who you came here to be.
In the final session, we’ll review each of the 4 Healthy Habits and continue to deepen your integration and embodiment of them. By deepening your learning, you’ll gain the clarity and confidence needed to create and sustain happy, healthy, count-on-able relationships in all areas of your life.
You will begin by: Delving deep to understand the somatically-based automatic stories you tell yourself — for example, “I’m not safe,” “No one likes me,” or “I’m not a desirable partner”
