PERSONAL JOURNEY FROM BURNOUT TO PURPOSE
Kati’s professional path took a profound personal turn ten years ago when severe burnout led her to lose her business, community, and identity. Using her recovery as a powerful catalyst, she studied deeply integrated methods—from neuroscience to somatic practices, mindfulness meditation, and Estonian traditional healing methods. Her holistic approach to healing and resilience is enriched by her certification as an OSHO meditation teacher and over 15 years of practice in alternative medicine and somatic bodywork. She combines it with science.
A PASSIONATE ADVOCATE FOR PARENTS AND NEURODIVERSITY AND MINDFUL PARENTING
As a mother of two, Kati’s parenting journey deepened her insights into modern families' complexities, especially parents raising neurodiverse children. Kati homeschools her daughter, who has ADHD, dyslexia, and dysgraphia, using innovative AI-driven learning solutions combined with a New Age curriculum. She is also the mother of a son whose promising professional football career shifted after a rare tumor diagnosis. These deeply personal experiences fuel Kati’s commitment to empowering parents, offering specialized support and workshops for families navigating similar challenges.
IMPACTFUL PHILANTHROPY AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Beyond her professional achievements, Kati’s passion extends into impactful philanthropy. She actively develops charity programs supporting impoverished children and small manor schools across Estonia. Her contributions were honored in 2015 when she was recognized as Education Friend of the Year.
