I work with consciously curious people from all walks of life!

You do not have to be considered Highly Sensitive to work with me, but, I have found that Empaths, Intuitives and HSPs tend to resonate with the type of work that I do moreso than less Sensitive people.

Maybe you have been on an awakening journey for many years, or maybe you are just beginning. Consciously curious people are those who like to seek... and the seeking is half the journey!

Each "Growth-Quest" begins with a FREE 30 minute discovery call to feel into if we are a good fit. (And because I am Highly Sensitive and an Empath, our energies have to fit for me just as much as they do for you! )

During this 30 minute call, you will describe where you are in your current journey and we connect the dots about where you would like to go and what kind of blocks you feel are preventing you from getting there.

I describe a few scenarios of how we can work together using the various tools of coaching, hypnotherapy and somatics. You feel what resonates and if it feels good to you, you follow up via email to book!

Each session you choose to do after this is on your own pace and schedule. Some people like to see me once a week, others every few months, and others only once a year! (Look-- it might not be good for business (!), but I make sure YOU choose how you want to work together, because it's YOUR journey!)

Have you ever booked a practitioner that you realized mid-session was NOT for you? Me too :( It's not a good feeling.

I want YOU to feel like we were MEANT to meet.

I want your soul to feel it FINALLY found my soul-- just in time.

We can only do that if we have a "Discovery Call" to feel if we are a good fit-- and I would say about 90% of people who call me end up booking with me-- but the other 10%--we just don't resonate enough to journey together.

No biggie.

We find each other when we are meant to!

My job is pretty weird, right?

But, I love it... and by using the same tools I share with YOU I actually found my dream job.

I have ALWAYS known that my job on Earth this time around was to help people "remember" (thanks past-life memories). But HOW I have done that has come in many different forms (teacher, scientist, consultant, coach, etc.).

It was only when I began doing trance work in my own hypnotherapy sessions that I realized I needed to give people the same tools to access their own memories-- of who they REALLY are, who they have been, who they are meant to be.

I am in my soul's purpose at this time.

I continue to use my own trance and somatic work to lean into HOW I am supposed to work with clients, and trust the guidance I get each time. I feel grateful to share these tools (and more!) with you.

I am Dr. Katie Larson, PhD and I am the founder of GrowthQuests!

I have a unique background (who doesn't!) that brings me to this world of health and wellness.

I was always a seeker-- from reading library books about ancient mysteries to exploring the bugs in my backyard. I also was a kid who had "past life" memories, and even knowing I had a 'plan' for this life. I always felt drawn to topics that could help me figure that out...

I was raised in a small town outside of Chicago, IL USA and fell in love with nature as a kid-- this turned into a degree in science and a first career as a high school science teacher and a field biologist.

I loved science because it was the first tool I used to understand how the world worked, but it was through my own inner-journeys using hypnotherapy and psychedelics that I began to understand consciousness and the less-concrete, more abstract, soul-based ways of the world.

I left Chicago and the United States in 2011 and lived all over the world-- taking work/life opportunities in Spain, South Africa, Singapore, Cambodia, and ultimately Hong Kong (in my 30s, I just said "YES!" to everything). Living and working in so many different cultures helped me to understand SO MANY valuable lessons on how humans make sense of the world.

This led me to my PhD research topic: Transformative Learning-- the study of how we grow and transform our perspectives of ourselves and the world. Through this research, I became an expert in multidisciplinary studies from neurobiology, to ancient mythology (and everything in between!) to understand HOW and WHY we must transform as we grow.

After using this information to help growth-based NGOs and educators all over the world, I realized that EVERYONE should understand how they can GROW, so I created GrowthQuests as a way to work with individuals and small groups committed to finding and being in their soul's calling.

My certifications grew and grew (and will continue to do so!):

A Depth Coaching certificate

A Transformative Coaching certificate

A Coaching for Spiritual Emergence certificate

A Somatic Healing certificate

A Transpersonal Coach certificate

A Transpersonal Hypnotherapy certificate

A nationally certified Hypnotist award

A reiki level one certificate

In 2021, I returned to the United States with my growing family (I have two kids now!) and have continued my search for wisdom in new ways. I still consider myself a citizen of the world, which is why I love working with clients from EVERYWHERE!

I hope to meet you soon and grow together!
