ABOUT KATARA
Humbly and audaciously, I live in devotion to what I call “Epic Love” — the love that inspires us into our greatness, evolving us beyond our limiting beliefs, identities, and wounding. I serve as an instrument of Epic Love through my somatic intelligence, sacred sexuality, and wisdom of the heart and mind. Harnessing the transformational power of Love and Eros, I support individuals and groups in evolving towards greater Love, Freedom, and Empowerment.
​
I will rapturously whisk you high into the sky, dance you into heaven, and reflect to you your inherent divinity and greatness. I will also accompany you into the depths of your personal hell, lovingly supporting you in reclaiming the parts of you that are hidden in the shadows, so that you may integrate their precious gifts.
​​
With degrees in engineering and a previous career of 15 years in Silicon Valley high-tech as an engineer, people manager, and leadership coach at major tech companies, I have found tremendous joy in nerding out about the most efficient and enjoyable ways of cultivating well-being within high performing individuals and groups. Nowadays, I delight in focusing my energy on supporting those aspiring to live heartful and soulful lives.
​​
I moved on from Silicon Valley tech in dedication to my own Soul’s mission, and now live in devotion to helping individuals and humanity evolve towards greater Love, Freedom, and Empowerment.
​
I take great pleasure in weaving together somatic practices such as Tantra, Dearmoring, and Sexual Shamanism — while drawing on my training in various modalities such as Co-Active coaching, Conscious Leadership coaching, Transformational NLP, and Emotional Resolution — expressing my embodied wisdom and erotic intelligence in service of our individual and collective awakening as love.

Beneath the surface...

Humbly and audaciously, I create beauty from my brokenness. The wounds and scars of my life create the Kintsugi art of my being — the light of my Soul streaming through my cracks.
​​
My brokenness — growing up without a sense of home, family, or belonging left me feeling alien to this human existence. This disconnection merged perfectly with Silicon Valley's achievement-obsessed culture, where my entire identity became wrapped up in my intellectual genius. While outwardly I excelled at top universities, inwardly I was debilitatingly, paralyzingly, suicidally depressed. At 22, a traumatic brain injury brought the complete annihilation and death of the person I'd been. What followed was a decade-long dark night of the soul, traversing the vast terrain of human suffering.
​
I entered my 30s with a closed and guarded heart, holding so much armored tension in my body that joy and pleasure could not penetrate. My body was shut down, and I engaged with life only through the narrow aperture of my mind. I was masked and hiding, playing the roles I thought I needed to play in order to have a place in this world, not trusting that my raw essence nature would be accepted and met with love.
​​
And to be honest, I’m still terrified of not being met with acceptance and love if I reveal the most tender and sacred parts of me — my greatest gifts and my deepest wounds. And this very insecurity is what fuels my utter obsession with creating the ultimate conditions for revealing and expressing the full spectrum of our humanness — everything from our brokenness to our brilliance. Because often, our brilliance is beautifully born from our brokenness.
​
My brilliance — the challenges of my life and tenacity of my soul have built my tremendous capacity to dive deep into the cracks of our human brokenness, the darkness of our pain, and bring loving awareness into the shadows of our consciousness. By unresisting and embracing the heartbreak, the terror, the rage that had calcified into armor, I've liberated within me incredible life force, love, and eros — our true nature. My passion is supporting others in doing the same. Through this, we access the Love, Freedom, and Empowerment waiting beyond our repressed pain, unearthing a deeper security rooted in our capacity to meet, feel, and transform anything life presents us.
