Hi, I’m Kathleen
Burnout taught me how to stop performing and finally live true to me. Now, I help women do the same: in their lives, and in their businesses.
MY STORY
12 years in corporate marketing. Then I burned out.
Before starting Reset with Kathleen, I spent 12 years in corporate marketing, including leading product marketing and lifecycle teams at a major financial institution.
My work was about understanding why someone chooses one business over another: getting clear on what made an organization different, who it was really for and how to communicate that in a way that attracted and kept the right clients.
From the outside, my career looked steady, responsible and successful.
On the inside, I was overriding myself constantly.
When I returned to work after maternity leave, I slowly realized I could no longer keep doing everything “right.” I was exhausted, but still trying to meet the same expectations at the same pace, as though nothing had changed.
Eventually, I took a medical leave.
Without the usual noise and momentum carrying me forward, I started listening inward. I slowed down. I made small changes. I noticed what depleted me, what restored me and what I had been trying not to need.
Those changes didn’t transform everything overnight. But gradually, they helped me find my way back to energy, clarity and myself.
That clarity eventually led me to leave my corporate career and create Reset with Kathleen: a place for women who are tired of performing their way through lives that no longer feel like their own.
Building this business brought another kind of clarity.
My marketing background meant I understood positioning in theory. Building a deeply personal business showed me what the conventional frameworks often leave out:
It can be surprisingly difficult to market work that comes from your whole self, not just your job title.
I knew what it was like to care deeply about my work and still struggle to describe it. I knew what it was like for marketing to feel more like performing than connecting. And I saw how easily thoughtful, capable women could flatten themselves into language they believed sounded more professional, polished or marketable.
That experience brought the two sides of my work together.
Whether I’m helping a woman reconnect with her own needs or helping an entrepreneur find the words for her business, I’m not here to hand her a more acceptable version of herself.
I’m here to help quiet the noise so she can hear what is already there—and make choices from that place.
WHY I DO THIS WORK
Two different starting points. One way of working.
Whether it shows up as burnout or as marketing that doesn’t feel like you, I work from the same beliefs:
Disconnection—whether you’re burnt out or your marketing doesn’t feel right—happens because you’re living outside of your real needs, not just because you're doing too much.
The world needs more compassion — toward yourself, first.

You have the answers. It might not feel like it, but underneath the pressure and the noise of everyone else’s expectations, you know exactly what you need, and exactly who you’re for.
MY PROMISE
When the noise quiets, something powerful happens: more you emerges… in how you live, and in how the right people see you.

Your Questions, Answered
(aka… FAQS)
-
Every session is different because what you need may be different from one week to the next.
Some sessions are reflective and spacious. Others are more practical or grounding. You won’t be pushed through a rigid format or expected to arrive with everything figured out. We’ll pay attention to what feels most supportive in the moment.
-
My burnout and HSP support isn’t a productivity program, and I won’t teach you to override your capacity so you can accomplish more.
My positioning work isn’t a plug-and-play copywriting formula, and I won’t manufacture a brand voice that has little connection to you or your clients.
If you want a rigid framework with no room for reflection, nuance or collaboration, I’m probably not the right fit.
-
No. Many of the women I support relate to aspects of high sensitivity, whether or not they use that term for themselves.
You don’t need a label. We can simply work with the way you experience energy, stimulation, pressure and other people’s expectations.
-
I offer two distinct kinds of support.
Burnout and HSP work focuses on your internal experience: your energy, needs, sensitivity and relationship with yourself.
Positioning and messaging focuses on your business: who it’s for, what makes it different and how to communicate that clearly.
They require different kinds of work, but they’re guided by the same belief: you shouldn’t have to override yourself to create something that works.
-
Absolutely not. This journey isn’t about blowing up your life or becoming someone new overnight. It’s so much subtler than that. It’s about peeling back the layers until you can hear yourself again.
It’s about starting with small, manageable shifts that help you feel more connected to yourself.
And that’s what I’m here to help you do.

Being a Professional Practitioner for Highly Sensitive People means I work with an understanding that sensitivity isn’t something to fix. It’s something to honour and work with.
Highly sensitive people tend to process deeply, feel intensely, and notice subtleties others might miss. When unsupported, this can lead to overwhelm, burnout, and chronic self-abandonment. When supported, it becomes a source of insight, creativity, empathy, and wisdom.
You don’t have to identify as highly sensitive to work with me. Many people I support simply feel burned out, overstimulated, disconnected from themselves, or exhausted from years of pushing and people-pleasing. If you’re craving more ease, clarity, and self-connection, this work is likely a fit.
-
No, I’m not a therapist, and our work together isn’t therapy.
What I offer is supportive, non-clinical 1:1 work focused on burnout recovery, nervous system regulation, self-connection, and life alignment. Sessions are present and future-focused, with space for reflection, insight, and gentle integration.
If you’re currently working with a therapist, my work can complement that beautifully. And if at any point I feel therapy would be a better fit, I’ll always name that with care and honesty.

After I started listening in to my true needs, I suddenly started noticing butterflies - everywhere.
I took them as a sign that I was on the right path. That I was doing what I’m now meant to do.
And so, butterflies have become my symbol that represents growth, evolution and coming back to myself. And it represents that journey for so many others as well.
It’s not about becoming someone new. It’s about returning to who you’ve always been — with more softness, presence, and self-trust.
I’m here for you when you're ready.
Whether that’s reconnecting to yourself, or reconnecting your business to who you are.
