Supporting coaches, facilitators, speakers, and practitioners, to make business moves they can trust

Business mentor, equine facilitator, and writer.

Hey, I'm Katee.

(Yes, like 'Katie' but with two E's).

I've specialised in working with expert-led, thought leadership businesses - coaches, facilitators, speakers, and practitioners for over 10 years - across Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the US.

I work with people whose situations are complex. Business owners and leaders who’s lives that don't fit neatly into a single category. Mine certainly doesn’t.

I don't pretend things are simpler than they are, and I don't leave you drowning in the complexity either.

There's usually a clear path through it when we can hold both. And I have a deep appreciation for the layers and intersections that lead clever business owners to where they are now.

What’s possible when we look beneath the surface? Read on …

I've always been wired to look underneath things.

What we do, and what we say. Not to find a problem. To explore what's driving you on autopilot.

I'm equally comfortable inside a P&L and holding space for the tough moments. I think in systems, and I feel in nuance - I've spent twenty years learning to hold both.

The urgent rarely equals the important. I've always known that. I've also had to learn it the hard way, more than once.

My background spans health science, performance coaching, hormone health, operations strategy, business design, and equine facilitated learning. On paper that looks like a lot of directions. In practice there's always been the same thread; our body, our business, and our life are not separate from one another. A business and life by design takes all of that into account.

I'm a late-diagnosed neurodivergent woman and mother. I navigated PMDD for twenty years, hit serious burnout twice before thirty, and carry the grief of infertility and loss, all while building a practice that's sustainable and values-aligned.

All of it has shaped how I see, what I notice, and why I don't flinch when things get “messy”.

Here’s what those threads looked like:

Then: Studying health science, working full time, laying the foundations for burnout.

Now: Building a practice around protecting the energy I once burned through without thinking.

Then: The death of a close friend. A change in direction. A book written during burnout recovery. Supporting athletes in burnout, perimenopause. Celebrated at the world championships.

Now: That same understanding of what the body carries, applied to business strategy.

Then: Working with Thought Leaders Business School, discovering my genius, and building sustainable business systems. While navigating postpartum, a pandemic, chronic health, and infertility.

Now: My own practice. My own terms. A neurodivergent brain that turned out to be a feature, not a flaw.

Then: Standing in the paddock for the first time. Learning what regulation, unconditional support and awareness can bring.

Now: Qualified equine facilitator. Bringing that same embodied intelligence into leadership and business work.

Then: Becoming a loss mum.

Now: Still here. Still building and expanding. With a far more precise and delicate understanding of what matters and what doesn't.

If you recognise yourself in any of this, a conversation is a good place to start.

I'd love to hear about what you're working on and where you need support.

A note on timing: My 1:1 project capacity is booked through May 2026, but that doesn't mean I can't help you. I have DIY tools and courses for immediate implementation, priority waitlist spots for June onwards, and other options depending on what you need and when you need it.

Fill out the enquiry form and I'll be in touch with what solutions makes most sense for you.

Note: Equine sessions are located on the Mornington Peninsula, Australia.

“If you're the primary strategist or ideas person in your business, I'll bet there are SO MANY things you would love to get done but don't have the time or the technical expertise to make it happen.

"If only I could ....", you say "my business would be flying".
With Katee in your corner, now you can.

She possesses the perfect combination of cleverness (to understand exactly what you want to achieve), strategic insight (to know the most effective way of making it happen), and practical skills (to then turn that vision into a reality).

If your business is hamstrung (as mine was) by a lack of technical skills or operational ability, Katee is your solution. Get her into your business and rather than being frustrated by technology, you'll be empowered by it.

She's a top shelf human as well, so you get good vibes as well as rapid progress. Highly recommended.”
Col Fink - Business mentor & coach
"I reached out to Katee because our business, Real Schools, had grown significantly over 18 months, but our systems and processes hadn't quite kept pace. We needed someone who understood not just our CRM and business operations, but more importantly, where we wanted to take our business — and someone who could collaborate effectively with our team.
Katee was perfect for this role. She brings a remarkably strategic mind and works with incredible efficiency. What sets her apart is her dual focus on elevating customer experience while driving commercial outcomes.
One of the most valuable things she did was facilitate internal workshops that gave everyone a voice to express their pain points and needs. She then skillfully brought everyone along on the journey, presenting solutions in a way that created genuine buy-in.
Beyond her professional expertise, Katie has this wonderful ability to anticipate business needs and solve them through a strategic lens. She's incredibly easy to work with and quick to deliver results.”
Charlotte Holden - Marketing Manager with Real Schools & Adam Voigt
“Katee's essence is that she cares. Every conversation I have, Katee has been one where I feel like I'm at the centre of the conversation. And she is elevating me, she's lifting me, she's just listening to me. And isn't that what we all want. And I just love that. And as a result, the engagements felt productive, and useful, and we can get into flow. If you're wondering, should I work with Katee? Let's go with Yes.”
Digby Scott - Master Facilitator
"While my IP and delivery were solid, I knew our operational systems needed refinement to scale effectively.
What makes Katee extraordinary is her comprehensive understanding of successful practices combined with her unique ability to operate on two levels simultaneously. She brings both the detailed ground-level execution and a strategic 'floodlight view' of how everything interconnects.
Within days of working together, she transformed our fragmented pieces – systems, collateral, IP, newsletters – into a cohesive, aligned ecosystem.
Her clear vision of what success looks like at a systems level, combined with her ability to execute the practical elements, created immediate and lasting impact for our practice. That dual perspective is what sets her apart."
Richard Young PhD - Performance expert, Mentor and Author.
“Katee didn't just identify what I needed from a support person – she helped me understand why I needed it.
When she explained that my ideal support person needed to be proactive, she connected it directly to protecting my energy. It was a paradigm shift.
She has this unique ability to articulate what's truly important to you and then show how the right support can amplify it.
This wasn't just about getting help; it was about strategically preserving my energy for what matters most. That realisation was transformative."
Robert Bihar - Finance Trainer, Coach & Mentor
“In just six months, Katee transformed our chaotic backend, consolidating 15 disconnected platforms into a seamless, efficient system, relieving me of a massive mental load.
Asana, a tool she introduced, has been a game-changer, enabling me to manage long-term strategic projects effortlessly.
Despite my past struggles with admin tasks and people, Katee made the process easy and enjoyable. She's not just effective—she's a fantastic person to work with.”
Sharon Dann - Stellar Partnerships
“Katee’s ability to make complex processes into seamless and integrated systems is invaluable. Her knowledge and experience across such a huge range of products and platforms means you always know you’ve got the most up to date and best practice information. Katee is extremely thorough from conception through to execution, and beyond. Ensuring both the customer experience and back-end management are given care and consideration. I would not hesitate to recommend Katee for support, consultation and implementation.”
Mikayla Whetton - Business Manager for Lisa O’Neill
"As our business was growing rapidly, we knew we needed more robust support in both people and platforms.
What truly sets Katee apart is her deep understanding of the delicate balance between people, processes, and platforms. She helped us transform our overwhelming collection of tools and documents into a streamlined, future-proof system.
The impact was immediate – we've eliminated key-person dependency by getting everything out of our heads and into clear, transparent processes. The mental load has reduced significantly, with our platforms now carrying the weight we used to hold in our minds.
What surprised me most was Katee's extensive pre-existing knowledge; she'd done so much of the thinking before we even started, allowing us to move straight to solutions without wasting time.
She didn't overcomplicate things – instead, she found that perfect balance of tools and support that freed up our time and headspace to focus on what we do best. It was such a relief to have that level of insight and experience guiding us."
Penny Terry - Speaker, Mentor, Trainer & Podcaster & Lucy Byrne - Facilitator & Trainer
“Katee is an absolute gun! Her guidance and solutions are practical and she makes you feel more relaxed about finance and projects that are usually very overwhelming!"
Dave & Bianca - Dave O’brien.com
“I recently engaged Katee to help me identify the best support I need for my practice.
Katee asked all the right questions, and helped me to narrow down to my specific requirements. She really is the expert in this space.
Katee continued to keep in contact, making sure we had fully closed loop and I had all the elements I needed in place. I would highly recommend Katee if you're thinking of a reset in your practice or you're just levelling up. And she's just great to work with!”
Mary Butler - Leadership Coach
“Katee is nothing short of a magic maker!
When investing in a coach or mentor, you know it’s time for change but what I didn’t expect was the deep impact my time with Katee would have on my confidence.
Not only did she help me gain clarity on a new direction in my business, Katee also helped me see the intrinsic value I offered my exisiting clients and my distinctive difference from my competitors.
The momentum our calls created was electric with people reaching out noticing the shift in gear in my business, congratulating me on my success and lining up for discovery calls. Three months we worked together and now I am on my way to build my dream.
I highly recommend Katee to anyone who wants action, change and transformation because you will get it in spades!”
