My passion lies in cultivating deep inner peace, balanced living, transformation, and thriving in midlife health. With humility, my life's purpose is to support people on their journey, helping them find their unique resonance, embrace their true sound, and foster meaningful, authentic wellness.
Hello and welcome to HONNE, A Path to Well-Being. My closest friends call me KK. I am a teacher, a public speaker, an alternative-holistic-wellness researcher and an active healing arts practitioner in sound, breath and bodywork, somatic movement and energy. I am also the founder and creator of a deeply nourishing and resonant skincare/ body care product line that helped me proactively recover from not only a bout of cancer but also a serious injury. My clients call me a modern day wellness innovator.
Today, I help individuals, teams and organizations alike transform on all levels. I have an in-depth understanding of the art of resonance, vibrational energy and the power of sound as well as stillness and movement. I specialize in integration journey work and hold advanced degrees in Neuroscience and Sound Therapy, Emersion and Healing.
Each of us has a unique story in life. I love the fact that my life journey has come full circle the past 30 years.
In my 20’s, I lived in both Europe and Asia (primarily Japan) for well over a decade. I also traveled the globe for a year. During that time, I experienced first hand alternative healing modalities, from Aromatherapy and herbs in Europe to Reiki, Acupuncture, Ayurveda, Acupressure, Breathwork, Meditation, Reflexology, Cold Plunging and Sound Healing in Asia. I witnessed the powerful positive impacts that these ancient wisdoms and practices had on overall wellness.
The sick-care and big-pharma-first models were NOT the go-to models in these countries. Instead, people tried non-invasive, holistic, alternative practices first. “Look inward first and external second” was a common way of approaching illness. I became obsessed with these alternative, preventative, health models and loved researching them. At one point, I even considered going to an Ayurvedic University! But alas, I just devoured knowledge through relentless study.
When I returned to America, these alternative healing practices became my hobbies, and my personal wellness belief systems. They became fun areas for me to study and obtain certifications. Instead of opening an alternative healing arts practice in the 90’s, I instead joined the corporate America workforce and maintained this work as active passionate hobbies. For more than 20 years I was a leading consultant for Fortune 500 companies and a Director in IT. For this portion of my life, I am grateful, as I deeply understand the pervasive stress fueled by intense work demands, long hours and the relentless pursuit of productivity and irrational deadlines. Teaching globally and managing numerous teams, I witnessed the degradation of mental well-being of employees across various industries during these 20+ years. And the always-on, 24/7 technology boom, has only increased the stress and anxiety levels since Covid.
It is through these life experiences that I can empathize. I was living out of balance and kidding myself with my healthy eating and regular exercise. I thought that was enough, but the arrival of cancer showed me otherwise.
This is why, with HONNE, I offer practical tools that help individuals navigate the daily chaos, stress and anxiety in their lives so that they may return to their authentic balanced best state.
Coming full circle, my life is now dedicated to sharing the health benefits of these ancient practices. My own life was radically transformed by using breathwork, energywork, bodywork, sound healing and plant medicine. I was able to transform my ovarian cancer into a healing journey, recover from a seriously debilitating back injury without surgery or shots, and personally grow from the agonizing pain of a family suicide that all occurred in a very short period of time.
Embracing the HONNE (one's true sound) Way of Life involves blending ancient wisdom with contemporary technology and science to foster thriving among individuals, teams, and organizations. It brings me immense joy when clients effectively navigate stress, discover peace, and achieve focus and clarity in their lives. Drawing on my experience as a former Executive Agile Coach and Global Trainer, I also derive great satisfaction from observing teams enhance their performance via the simple raising of their own inner awareness — helping teams and individuals ground can quickly transform organizations one team at a time.
