Katy is an ever-loving being of overcoming her thoughts and emotions, again and again. She believes we all can live our best life, if we are ready to take ownership of every thought, choice and action we take. And that's easier to write than to do some days for her ;). 

She started her career in Fitness, mixed in with corporate sales and now finds herself in Medical Device, but with a different perspective of how much more magic can she create in her career. There is a joy in the unexpected surprises when you open yourself up to unlimited possibilities, but it comes with a diligent & loving practice to stick with it & believe in yourself, even when your body screams and kicks for you to NOT change.

I started a career as a massage therapist many years ago and enjoyed profound satisfaction in providing relaxation for weary clients, easing of pain for their recovering injuries, and a safe space to experience a much-needed reprieve from the stress in their lives. Eventually I also wanted to work with individuals to manage those needs through fitness.  

After experiencing mental and physical empowerment through CrossFit about 10 years ago, I became a fitness coach. Witnessing the transformation of building strength through training and conditioning, and its permeating effect on life outside the gym, the power of mindset became tremendously apparent to me. Becoming a Mindset Coach has been the perfect fusion of providing support, guidance, and the celebration of hard-won freedom for my clients. I live for the moment when clients overcome long lived fears, self-doubt and limitations. We all have more courage than we think. Sometimes we just need someone to give us the tools to make full use of all the amazing aspects of our hearts and soul we keep safely hidden away. 

I fully believe there is no end date to learning to love ourselves and all the pieces of us. We are each so unique, so original, and without question have light to add to the world. I am so excited to work with anyone who is ready to take that leap towards self-love with the natural side effect of freedom and sense of empowerment.  https://www.instagram.com/hopezinn/
