Testimonials

"When I met Kate, I was often angry and confused, easily triggered and searching for meaning and purpose in my life.  I felt stuck and cut off from my feelings - I couldn't really feel true happiness, joy, gratitude, or even sadness.  Instead of letting myself feel sad, I would just get angry.  Through working with Kate -- learning and utilizing her various tools in both private, one-on-one sessions and in a group class setting -- my life has been and continues to be miraculously transformed.  I have experienced profound shifts in my ability to feel emotions, my attitude, my perspective on life, and my relationships, and I attribute them directly to working with Kate.  She is an absolutely amazing teacher -- I can't recommend her highly enough!"

"Kate Satten is one of my most valued mentors and dearest friends, and working with her has helped me through some of the most difficult times in my young life. Stress and anxiety surrounding college and leaving home nibbles at the minds of all students, but it was impacting my life in a very negative way. Kate helped me learn how to manage my fear, teaching me to utilize skills and techniques that shut down my anxiety before it gets out of control. Even now, several years after I first started benefiting from my sessions with Kate, we still keep in touch and I always feel better after I have a conversation with her. No matter how dismal the situation I find myself in, I always walk away from a class, session, skype call or facebook message with her feeling like my day and my life have been."

I first met Kate Satten when she and her daughter moved in next door to my family, on the north shore of Chicago. We became friends, and later on I asked Kate to help my son, who was having a difficult time going to and participating in school. His condition was causing him to have severe stomach pains every morning. So severe were his periods of pain and anxiety that we sought the treatment of doctors, specialists, and even a visit or two to the ER. Upon hearing about all this, Kate intervened, asking if she could possibly spend some time with him. She came over to our house every morning before school, was able to understand and, ultimately, reach him in ways no one else could. With Kate's guidance my son's situation improved dramatically. She went on to teach him how to heal himself, which he still does to this day. I can't express adequately my gratitude and respect for Kate's ability, kindness, and sensitivity to our son's physical and emotional challenges. Her expertise and perfectionism have brought my son back into wellness, and now, years later, he has become a healthy, happy high-schooler, unafraid to express himself in theater and music, none of which he would have found without Kate's encouragement.
