Ease and belonging for people and workplaces
Why Work With Katie at 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.
Having worked for 15 years in corporate leadership roles, I understand how challenging it can be to cultivate a culture of Engagement, Productivity and Creativity.
I quickly noticed that in times of change, growth or uncertainty, the most effective skill to ensure a sense of ease, psychological safety and belonging in order to retain and motivate employees was my ability to lead with empathy and compassion. My technical and operational skills were important, but were not the reason the humans in my team remained committed to my vision or stayed in our workplace.
The importance of ensuring your team or organisation feel seen and heard is critical to business success and continuity. A lack of empathy leads to burnout, fear and lack of trust which are key reasons for good people leaving or signing off due to sickness and mental health challenges.
At Being Human Well, I guide you towards empathetic leadership in a non-judgemental environment, being aware that we are all learning new ways to lead effectively. My Ecosystem offerings allow you to empower all humans within your organsiation to be part of the solution; from inspiring keynotes for everyone, deep-dive workshops for leaders and retreats to ensure your team members feel seen, loved and respected. Empathy is available to all and is a critical ingredient for a shift towards a more human way of being in the workplace.
For Individuals I use primarily meditation practices to support you to find ease and a sense of belonging in yourself; how to feel and be human. I run London and overseas retreats, courses and online offerings, including 1:1 and group options.
I always knew I wanted to support others, so to be doing this now is a dream come true. My personal and career history has been filled with the wonders of African spirituality, Western learning and deep love for Eastern practices. I enjoy a blended approach to all that I do.
I have partnered with many incredible brands and have received truly heart-warming feedback. Keep scrolling to see who they are and what they say.
my Approach
Highly non-judgemental and open. Inspiring conversation and learning.
Based on research & science in combination with examples of real corporate and personal life experiences.
I hold a BSc in Psychology, MSc in Occupational Psychology and a Chopra Meditation Certification (Deepak Chopra Training). These have enabled me to understand how to cultivate Empathy and Self-Compassion through many methods and diverse lenses.
I have also trained with the Dalai Lama in India and find beauty and joy in learning from others. I’m an approachable and professional human being.
I’m also an expert on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place Wellness App and host sessions at Fearne’s joyful festivals!

Katie was highly engaging, mixing personal anecdotes with practical ways for people to make a positive change within the workplace. I personally found the approach of using Empathy to promote diversity and inclusion within the workplace, refreshing and thought provoking.
