the heart space

MONDAYS starting June 22nd

@ Heights Meditation & Yoga

Calling all artists, creative types, or those simply seeking self-expression! Are you looking for a place to come home to yourself and feel supported in your creative life? Burnt out by the biz or the hustle of the city? Come and join us in the heart space. 

Designed to nurture the inner world of the artist through contemplative practices and the power of community. Sessions will combine meditation, breath work, journaling, and discussion (with tea!). Join “dharma artists” Katie and Sadie on the journey to discover the boundless potential of your artistry. 


As performers,

our greatest gift to give an audience is our Selves. We are each a unique portal, with our personal life experiences and perspectives that no one else has.

But so many of us…

  • Grapple with performance anxiety or stage fright

  • Feel something gets in the way, interrupts the process, holds us back

  • Struggle with imposter syndrome and the inner critic

  • Feel tense, locked up, locked out of our own hearts

  • Just know we have something deeper to express.

I get it. I’ve been there.

there is a way through.

I’m a highly sensitive artist myself.

In my 20-year career as an actor and singer, I’ve had panic attacks onstage and trembled my way through auditions.

I’ve also surprised myself moment by moment and given performances I couldn’t possibly have planned - in the best way.

And I know there is a way to access what you already have inside you:

  • freedom

    • ease

      • confidence

        • consistency

  • and JOY in sharing your gifts with the world, as you were meant to do.

  • “Having Katie join our LevelUp Life communities for guided meditation sessions was nothing short of transformative. From the moment she began, there was a noticeable shift - a softness and openness that settled into the group. Her calm, grounded presence created a space where our members felt truly safe to let go, reflect, and heal. She has a true gift for guiding others inward with compassion and clarity. These sessions weren’t just beneficial - they were essential.

    — Lisa K., LevelUp Life

  • “Katie is an outstanding vocal coach who brings kindness and positivity to every session. Of all the vocal coaches I interviewed, she stood out because she never once asked me who I wanted to sound like. Instead, she focuses on helping her students embrace their originality and authenticity.

    Under Katie’s guidance, I’ve experienced remarkable progress in just ten sessions. She provides invaluable critical feedback without a hint of condescension, creating a supportive and encouraging learning environment.

    My bandmates have been amazed by the results, commenting that “the lessons are paying dividends.” I can’t recommend Katie enough—her expertise and approach are transformative!”

    — Eric T.

  • “I wanted to thank you again. You taught me more in three lessons than what I learned throughout the years. You are amazing! I appreciate you so much.”

    — Andrea H.

  • “This was transformative!”

    — Carmela Z.

  • "Katie is an amazing teacher that really works at fine-tuning your skills! She helped me perfect my technique — not only with how my voice sounds, but other parts of my body and mental psyche that also factor into how I perform.”

    — Samantha M.

  • “Working with Katie is an extremely enriching experience and I am enjoying it very much. She is knowledgeable, reflective, willing to share. She is attentive, creative, a great coach/teacher/listener/guide!”

    — Nora G.

  • “Katie is a wonderful and kind teacher as well as a wonderful person! She really helps you bring out your best on stage and I am very grateful I found her.”

    — Gabrielle R.
