Ease and belonging for people and workplaces

Why Work with Katie & Being Human Well.

Being Human Well exists to highlight the importance of cultivating a sense of ease and belonging in ourselves and in our workplaces.

For workplaces, my key tool is the power of EMPATHY to guide your workplace towards a sense of ease and belonging, boosting Engagement, Productivity and Creativity along the way.

For individuals, my key tool is the power of SELF-COMPASSION to guide you towards a sense of ease and belonging, boosting Self-Awareness, Authenticity and Clarity along the way.

Understanding both the individual and collective responsibility to create cultures of Ease and Belonging is key.

My Story.

How I support People and/or Workplaces.

After 15 years in corporate leadership, I’ve witnessed the complexities of building a culture of engagement, productivity, and creativity. During times of change, growth, or uncertainty, I realised that while technical and operational skills play a role, the real key to retaining and motivating teams is leading with empathy and compassion. This approach fosters psychological safety, ease, and belonging—essential elements for a thriving workplace.

A lack of empathy leads to burnout, fear, and mistrust, often driving talented people away or leaving them battling mental health challenges. This understanding inspired me to create Being Human Well, a space where I guide leaders and organisations toward empathetic leadership in a non-judgmental environment. From inspiring keynotes and workshops to deeply restorative retreats, I empower individuals and teams to connect with their humanity and each other. Empathy is not just a leadership tool—it’s a transformative way of being.

For individuals, I offer practices to help you rediscover a sense of ease and belonging within yourself. My offerings include meditation-based retreats, courses, events, and online sessions—both 1:1 and group options. Often, I integrate sound healing and partner with carefully selected collaborators to enrich your experience.

You are in safe hands with me. I hold a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Occupational Psychology, and I’m a certified meditation teacher trained under the renowned scholars of Deepak Chopra’s program in Vedic Primordial Sound Meditation. This silent mantra-based practice is rooted in transcendental meditation, but I also teach a diverse range of approaches such as self-inquiry, visualisation, metta, mindfulness, and more. My journey has taken me to India to train with the Dalai Lama, and I’m proud to be a featured meditation expert on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place Wellness app and at her festivals. Additionally, I’m a CMA Certified Gong Facilitator, blending sound healing into my work.

I’m not bound by any single perspective or tradition—I honor all practices and approaches equally, meeting each individual with openness and respect. Everyone, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, or age, is welcome in my space.

My upbringing blends the wisdom of African spirituality, Western learning, and Eastern traditions. This rich heritage underpins my work as I help people and workplaces embrace empathy and compassion, creating spaces where ease and belonging can flourish.

”I have thoroughly enjoyed each session and it has opened my eyes to the stillness we all need to live a fulfilled life on many different levels. I would highly recommend Katie not only as a wonderful person but also a wonderful teacher too.”
