What clients are saying

Katie, I feel a lot better - more peaceful and feel a release. I also wanted to thank you for taking the time to listen and speak with me. I don’t say enough how much I appreciate your time, patience, and knowledge. I feel stronger and more sure of myself and it has to do with how willing you are to listen and provide feedback and resources. I cherish the relationship we have here. Just thank you a lot... It’s truly been life changing for me and I can’t say enough good things.
Life-Changing Resilience & Strength Through Transition
The biggest aha was that this is doable, I can conquer my feelings and be in control. I can love myself and get over my inferiority complex. Before, it felt like a huge stampede of feelings within me that I just avoided and never dissected through the way we did. And this made negativity less impactful. And I am realizing that the easier choice would've been to move on and leave. I am staying in, fighting with my demons and embracing them in every way. Makes me feel good. I also think it's a huge reality moment. There are some parts that are downright ugly, but as soon as I'm willing to accept them for what they are, it makes me feel that I can conquer them. 🙂 thank you I am less fearful of bad thoughts and feelings. I am trying more hard to go deep but I feel I have gone through all major anxiety inducing thoughts, which is probably why I am not getting as worried as before. It's not totally comfortable but I am way less anxious now. It's all about perspective and changing it to see negativities positively, if it makes sense. I am trying to be more action oriented.
Self-Acceptance Through Relationship Transition and Anxiety
Self-esteem and hence, confidence seems to have gotten good boost. I am enjoying this, and feeling more content within. It's constant work though….I am also reading my self esteem messages regularly. And even as I am reading, I feel better...Thank you Katie, I'm feeling focused and happy that I have a game plan on improving myself. I appreciate you and your help
Self-Confidence Through Personal Growth
I am so much more aware of the self criticism and the anger with myself is much less. Knowing and understanding where the anger comes from and gaining some closure with issues I have never really dealt with helped. I knew it was going to be better but such huge changes I didn’t expect.
Gaining Closure to Find Self-Love & Release Anger
It's been a challenging year for me, maybe my biggest yet. It was challenging because I had to work on some of the bigger emotional areas of my life that I've neglected for so long. For me the biggest challenges have been experiencing a serious relationship that then brokedown in an unfortunate way, tackling my perfectionism and negativity, dealings with feelings of loneliness and isolation, etc. I've grown a lot through the process, and a lot of it was possible because I was able to connect with you and we were able to navigate through a lot of that. Now I'm reaching a point where I'm sort of "accepting" the situation. I've accepted that this is who I am and these are the challenges I'm facing. And with acceptance, it's becoming a lot easier to deal with all these challenges and slowly evolve.

Your advice helped about the interviews, I’m glad that we talked after the first bad one. I totally owned my nervousness in the beginning of the other interview I had and really rocked it. I walked out and knew I’d be hired… thank you for you help in our sessions

Finding Confidence in the Future
The character Finch wanted to live. He saved a girl who wanted to commit suicide but in the end he didn’t know how to save himself. It was sad. It made me think that there was a time I was so close to that too, being so depressed. And a lot of people probably on the same boat as I am, but the difference is I got some help and support and was able to manage those negative thoughts in my head… You’ve been such tremendous help. I’m much happier and loving myself now. It’s amazing. I mean I still have my bad days but it doesn’t cripple me like it once did… Thank you Katie… You’re a wonderful person doing wonderful things.
Conquering Depression to Find Self-Love
I am thinking a lot about my coaching journey so far. One of the popular phrases recently at our firm is “Don’t go at it alone”. My embracing our weekly chats over the past months I feel has definitely shown me that trying to tackle an issue or a dilemma in isolation is self defeating and uninspired… I hope for now your new clients are not overwhelming - you have so much knowledge and calm to bring to your new clients - they are all lucky to have you as their coach - have a great rest of your day and stay safe.
Getting Calm Support to Navigate Challenges
I have been feeling much better since i spoke to you last. I think just talking to someone and just knowing that my feelings are okay.And I’m not weird or crazy having these feelings and knowing that its okay and im not alone help a lot… So knowing that its common im more paying attention to how to fix it instead of wondering why im feeling this.
Normalizing Emotions to Move Forward
I’ve been holding on so tightly to everything since my mom - because I didn’t want to lose control or feel uncomfortable/hurt. That I’ve really been missing out on just living. And trusting. And it’s still super scary as I begin to plan for work and slowly jump back into it, because I don’t want to let my family down (or myself). But there is also a sweet peace and freedom I have underneath the nervousness that I’ve been searching for for a long time. When we first started our work together we had to define values and one of my personal values was freedom. And I see how I’m more capable of riding life’s waves and ENJOY it without shattering when something goes wrong. I’m not going to lie, something going wrong still freaks the heck out of me, but I’m so much happier and more mindful. I know that if it goes wrong or I experience failure I have the tenacity to work hard and the creativity to figure it out…. I feel like I’ve found a close friend and coach and appreciate all you’ve done.
Transitioning Through Grief & Loss to Find Freedom & Strength
Just being cognizant of the fact that uncertainty is a part of life and it making life exciting has really helped me respond to that negative talk. I definitely don’t see my negative talk as a real part of my personality anymore and more a defence mechanism…. I don’t think I’ve really said this before, but thank you for equipping me with the tools needed to move through it. I definitely felt really alone dealing with it before.
Finding Excitement in the Transition Through Loss
I got a new job! 🙂 I’m really excited... I think it’s the right step in my career. I was feeling very limited/stagnant in my growth at my current company.... I am looking forward to this change. I’m mostly excited to be passionate about my work again 🙂 You were the one who pushed me!!
Career Transition
Last year was really bleak and I was constantly depressed, I’m trying to make a big change in the new year and these talks have definitely helped motivate me. I feel a lot better these days. My self esteem is returning and I feel hopeful again...Even just a couple of weeks ago I would just lay in bed for hours and not talk to anyone. It feels so different now. Making a change is easier said than done but taking small steps week by week makes it a lot more manageable
Step-By-Step Depression to Confidence
They say people come into your life for a reason, and with that bringing something we must learn. And I think we are led to those, who help us learn to grow, if we let them (That’s where my intention of acceptance comes in)... I know I’m who I am today because I knew you.... So much of me is made up of what I have learned from you and you will always be with me in my heart... I know you have rewritten my life because you were my friend ( if it’s ok to call you that instead of coach) and i will be eternally grateful. You don’t know how much you have helped me...

Thank you so much for being such a wonderful thought and accountability partner Katie. I can't tell you how much I appreciate being able to bounce ideas off of you.

Career Transition
A lot of my worry has started to fade. I feel pretty calm and happy. I'm still working on my to do list but I'm not panicking over it anymore.
From Overwhelm to Calm Growth
I feel very.... turned on, if that makes sense? I'm finally focusing on the "fluff" things that I turned my back on before, and it feels very good, like I'm doing what I'm supposed to. Even the job hunt has been smooth and seamless. I feel very positive there too
Career Transition to Living in Joy
I think that in 2017 i was lazy and unmotivated in almost every aspect of my life. If it wasn’t for work I wasn’t interested in it. Now I am motivated, Active, inspired to be creative
From Unmotivated to Creative & Inspired
Thank you Katie. Having a safe space to be honest about what I'm thinking is so awesome…. thank you so very much Katie, for helping me become my best self.
Personal Growth
Since i've started talking to you I've been feeling so much better mentally. Less breakdowns. Now maybe once in 2 weeks. Earlier it was once every 2 days.
Stability Through Anxiety
...the biggest difference is I feel like I have a safety net feeling that I won’t fall to far down once they hit, because I have all these tools and I am taking proactive and positive steps in the right direction
Building Resilience to Future Challenges
This has been a tremendous help as it is! I do want to say that now that the heaviness of the job has sort of lifted I can start counting some of the positives that I’m walking away with and this experience has certainly been one of them. I so appreciate your patience and your insights, taking the time to walk me through a pretty difficult time in my career/life. So i wanted to make sure you knew how appreciative I was of you... 🙂 Thank you so much again

I feel comfortable with showing/going through pain and that the process can bring emotional healing and a new found respect for myself and my capabilities. I feel more ready instead of scared… I feel really good with delivery preparation.

Heart Centered Business Coaching
Normally I wouldn’t take a more proactive approach on leadership. I was always afraid and doubting myself. Our sessions have helped me to do things out of my comfort zone.
Leadership Growth
It is not an exaggeration to say that Katie Bauer has changed our lives. Our children were both diagnosed earlier this year with an autoimmune disease, which causes them to progressively become allergic or intolerant to more and more foods. When we met Katie 6 months ago, my younger daughter wasn’t sleeping or staying in school because she was in constant pain. My older daughter had lost 10% of her body weight in the previous month because she had no appetite. Our doctor is wonderful, but his suggestion to put our kids on elemental formula or long-term steroids was not what we were comfortable with. And then we found Katie Bauer. Katie immediately had my children tested for food intolerances, and put them on a radically different eating plan. Within 5 days on Katie’s plan, my children were like new kids. My younger daughter’s chronic stomach pain went away, along with her chronic headaches, eye pain and joint pain. Perhaps more surprisingly, a few months after we started working with Katie, my daughter had an appointment with her eye doctor, and her eye sight had improved so significantly that she needed new lenses. My older daughter regained her appetite and all of the weight she had lost. We have followed Katie Bauer’s suggestions religiously, and she has been with us every step of the way– she is responsive, extensively knowledgeable, and most importantly, so passionate about what she does. Truthfully, I’m not sure exactly how it all works, but it really does, and I’m am eternally grateful to Katie for everything she does for us….

Julia Collins, Parent
I was also thinking my fibromyalgia symptoms has been lot better now since I started all your techniques earlier. I think the best for me is taking the tine needed for myself... It just taught me to slow down and not get triggered from stuff….

I am feeling very confident in my abilities to manage my anxiety 🙂 I will continue to apply the techniques you have taught me. Thank you for everything 🙂 Thank you so much Katie! I have really enjoyed our sessions.
Managing Anxiety
I've been through much worse. Age gives you perspective and you have helped me dig out of the burden of depression. Activity seems to be the antidote this time. Depression is an evil son if a bitch and it screws up your perceptions and decision making capabilities. I was in a hole when I reached out... In a short while we have come a long way. You are my secret weapon. Heehee… Thank you (bow) you have helped very much indeed.
Healing Depression
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate the way you speak to me. After a run in with a few people today, I’ve noticed how much love/appreciation/care your words carry and I really feel valued. So thank you!
Support Through Challenges
I believe I’ve discovered the answer to life, the universe and everything, which for me means exceptional health, through diet. I found this with the help of one of the best nutritionists and health experts one could possibly ask to work with and that is Ms. Katie Bauer of the Nourished Health Wellness Center. It is with her guidance I was able to change my diet, stop my immune system from getting the best of me and achieved a level of energy that allowed me to reincorporate exercise into my life and discover a passion for yoga.

I love this. I truly know that I continually do things that does not make my heart happy. Which is causing my depression anxiety lack of sleep and health problems. But finding what truly makes me happy that also makes a livable income has always burdened and scared me. Thank you so much for this… thank you for your continuous guidance, very thankful for you! 🙂
Healing Through Connecting to Soul's Purpose
I think that with your assistance I have been able to successfully work through the challenges that I wasn’t sure how I would be able to overcome. I have reinstated wellness practices that I had lost touch with, learned to listen to my gut again and have reaffirmed my belief that we are all capable of creating magic with a little hard work…. I truly appreciate your guidance and assistance while I worked through all of this…. thank you!
Finding Spiritual Alignment

Weight Loss
Change is so challenging, I know I always do great, but the unknown is scary. Thank you for all the time we worked! You helped more than you can ever know! Thank you for seeing me as more than I ever could see! I appreciate that you could help me sort through some challenges with my nutritionist as while it is still uncomfortable she does now ask about my feelings and if what she is asking of me works for me. I feel more control and we are going to work on things together more instead of her dictating. I can’t thank you enough for helping me through the worst time in my life and your patience as I grew and changed! With tears I write this, you have been a very important part of my team!
Empowerment Through Health Challenges
Never would I have thought I would call a year I took 8 months off work for cancer as an awesome year, but so many really great changes happened despite the cancer and everything that went with it, that I can only call the year an awesome one. I have grown and changed so much.... Daily things to support myself and care specifically for myself are so much more important than anything else now. I take time to rest if I need to, I exercise every day walking at least 3 miles, I have not missed a meditation session in 221 days. I journal daily, I have an almost daily gratitude list in my journal.
