Katie has a deep commitment to transformational experiences for all people. She also is deeply invested in entrepreneurs and their families, as she and her husband have started 5 different companies (sold 2) and know the challenges and rewards that entrepreneurship holds.
Katie has now coached hundreds of people through the Self Mastery process. She trains other coaches and is currently developing a coaching program such that even more people can get the benefits of Self Mastery.
Katie Close was always an overachiever, getting straight A’s through her Master’s Degree at University of Delaware, playing varsity sports, and leading multiple clubs.
While her drive facilitated success and rewards in her life, it also lead to sleepless nights and severe weight loss.
Shame and striving were running the show. In an attempt to alleviate shame and striving, Katie became a devout Christian in college.
In some ways, Katie experienced breakthroughs and freedom, yet in other ways, she lost more of herself in spiritual bypassing and a religious culture.
After graduation, she got married and started moving company with her husband, Jason. The assumed roles in the home and business were to unquestionably accommodate and do repetitive details. Unfortunately, these roles did not suit her.
She found leadership expression through non-profit ventures and development.
After being told she was infertile, Katie and her husband, Jason, put their 5 acre home and business up for sale. The plan was to be trained for nonprofit work in Africa.
The day Katie packed up and left was the day she got pregnant with her first son, John.
She had 3 other children. During that time, Katie and her family decided to stay in the states and developed many non-profit ventures in the inner city. They invested in helping others overcome addictions, poverty, lack of education, racial tension, homelessness, etc.
Katie was grateful yet unsatisfied with the results of the therapy and trainings she assessed for those she served. Therefore, Jason and Katie pulled all the money they had to buy a simple home in the middle of nowhere, so that Katie could have time and opportunity to discover the techniques that would sustainably and consistently bring transformation.
For 2 years, Katie evolved through the various techniques she gathered and practiced on herself. The results were what she was hoping for – sustainable and self-evident. She was requested to coach others and speak at various events. Self Mastery was born.
Katie was finally able to shed shame and release the striving. Her genuine desire and drive for contribution strengthened as did her confidence. She found herself.
Jason, in the meantime, built a lawn and landscaping business. Through marketing and development, Katie found a more optimal role for her in the lawn and landscaping business.
After a few years, they sold the lawn and landscaping business and moved to Sarasota. There Jason built a Home Care Agency as Self Mastery Coaching blossomed.
