Creating space to live authentically has deepened my relationships, opened up new creative avenues, and reconnected me with my spiritual path and the pure joy I find in nature. As a result, I’m now making choices that feel true and joyful and free, regardless of how others might view them. I've stopped rushing, and started appreciating. I trust more deeply. I love more fully. And although I don't know exactly what my future holds, for the first time in my life, I'm glad.

All of a sudden, I found myself surrounded by a community of inspiring and like-minded women, and for the first time in a long time, I felt like I was really going to be able to help myself to a better place. I no longer felt alone in my ‘stuckness’. I felt understood and surrounded by a group of amazing, soul-sister women who wanted to fight to be wild, free, and alive right alongside me. If you want to reconnect with your soul, find a community of amazing women, and reignite your lust for life – don’t wait another minute. This is it.

Nutrition & Soul Coach
I was so focused and driven to transform my life from being a dreamer to a doer. I was ready to serve and take on the world. What I didn’t realize was that I wasn’t healthy; I wasn’t ready mentally and physically. I didn’t even realize that I was neglecting the most important person… me. Katie & SDS Immersion helped me dive back into living again. I am now ready to love, to live, to lead. I’m a better WOMAN. I have grown leaps and bounds in my personal AND professional life. I am ready to take on the world and bring my sisters with me!

Best Version of Herself (so far)
Because of SDS I am living in the moment and have dropped the shoulds of my life (and have told many around me to drop their shoulds as well!). My relationship with myself, food, and my body has brutally changed in a loving way. I have learned to love myself and appreciate the true version of me. There were so many aha moments I could write a book: a book of gratitude. It was a very deep and intense experience; filled with many rewards and most importantly, FREEDOM. No money will ever pay for the discoveries I made and the freedom I gained with the aid of this program.

Certified Health & Cooking Coach
I've started to really stand in my power and own who I am as an entrepreneur. I used to always “hope” that projects would come in. I felt like my future was at the whim of chance/luck because I never truly identified my nature as DESERVING to be a successful entrepreneur. I have discovered the power of setting boundaries around my time and project choices, honoring the importance of my creative time, and believing that my work is worth the quote I’m offering a potential client. Feeling empowered is my new favorite state of being and I plan on hangin’ out here for a while :)

It's not about just eating differently or just saying positive words, it's about imagining your best self and creating the tools, support, mindset, and road map to get there. I have lost about 15 pounds, but the attitude shift is truly what has made me "lighter."

One year later, my experience of life is something I couldn’t have imagined before Skinny Dip Society. The depth of feeling & appreciation I have for life, the enjoyment of food & my body, the ability to listen to my intuition, not to mention all the incredible resources Katie shares – these are gifts I wouldn’t trade for anything!

I feel like I can breathe for the first time in years and am now on a journey to carve out my own life; one that will allow me to shine brightly in the world.
- CAITLIN BOYCE | TEACHER
I am still grateful everyday that I found this site. I was dragging, living with daily headaches and stomach pains, and tired ALL the time. I was not happy and I certainly was not listening to my body. Katie gave me the jumpstart I needed to finally take control of my life. I may have lost 20lbs and 2 jean sizes but to me the most important thing was getting my glow back!

I have realized I need not worry about how others are feeling about my life, and that in fact it was mostly me standing in my own way! I feel so much lighter and have so much more clarity on who I am, where I want to be and how I am navigating my way there...and THAT is a celebration in itself!

My life has completely changed. I have gone from this anxiety ridden, depressed, unhappy single mom to this amazingly beautiful woman that I knew deep down existed, but have never met.
DENVER, CO
I have gained the confidence to quit a job that has been draining and exhausting me for years, a job that stripped me of who I was. I am so excited, I have begun pursuing my passions and focusing on my desires and in fact just had a second interview for my dream job!

I thought that in order to thrive in my career that I had to change. Slowly, the joy drained from my life and I felt like a stranger in my own skin. I came to realize that my whole life long, I had been in search of a quick fix solution that would eradicate my fears and insecurities. But, I learned, instead, to embrace my deepest fears and insecurities – to greet them at the door with a smile and to invite them in for a glass of wine. Katie redefined what it means to be fearless. She gave me the tools to live and to love in spite of it all.

Thank you for changing my outlook on life! There has not been a day that has gone by since 'ending' the Immersion that I have not used the tools you gave me. People keep asking me if I'm still doing that 'Skinnydip-thing' and I get to tell them, "Well, yes, the program is technically over, but my way of life is forever changed." Friends, coworkers and acquaintances have noticed. They want in! I am excited, happy, loved, and living. Thank you.

The single most important thing I learned was to embrace the fact that I don’t need to change, and I am not broken. I’m great just the way I am, and the emotions that surface for me are there to serve a purpose. Several months later I have this huge toolbox of resources that I have developed, fit to MY LIFE, practiced, honed, sharpened, and reused over and over. I have TOOLS! And when I use these tools, I gain PERSPECTIVE which seems to be something I need on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. I am both more at ease, and also more energetic. The world feels like my oyster again.

BOSTON, MA
Certified Transformational Coach (NLP) for women
The Authentic Launch program is RICH in information and it's so well structured. I was blown away. I now have a macro view of what I need to do for my online launch. I leveraged the teachings and focused on becoming a local expert and running local in-person programs to gain clarity on what women are really looking for, and I then offer a hybrid online program. My goal is to build and leverage that with the tools I learned in ALP. It's a journey and ALP is the foundation I needed to take off! I am now in momentum, clear, and confident. I know my value in what I offer.

I was completely lost as to how to have a successful launch in my business. I knew that I had an amazing course to share with the world, but I just couldn't seem to get people to sign up! I lowered my prices, and even then...crickets. I was completely blown away with the Authentic Launch Program. Not only did I learn how to launch my course in a way that really made some noise, I also did so while at the same time bringing together an incredible community of women. Plus, this single launch brought in higher profits than I've ever received in all of my 3 years of being in business COMBINED.
real woman. real design.
I felt that my life had become something not of my own. I was merely going through the motions and purely existing….not living with the passion, the dreams and the desires that once moved me. The things that I have discovered about myself over the course of 10 weeks have deeply moved, inspired and ignited me to regain that girl I once was…little by little she is re-emerging and I really like her.

The worlds of amazingness I feel after doing SDS are overwhelming! It’s helped me identify ways in which I was holding myself back and I know I’m only just starting to dig in on my true fully alive self! THANK YOU KATIE & KDO team! I seriously think this is the best thing I could have ever done for ME.
MEGAN COWELL | ACCOUNTANT | MINNEAPOLIS, MN
As I started valuing myself, an amazing thing happened…I actually had more time, more balance, more love, more energy, more zest to pour into those around me! I cannot tell you how much this program changed my life. Yes, I lost the weight I was wanting to lose, my energy drastically increased, my skin is much more full of color, and I LOVED all of the food. But really, it was putting the value and love of myself back into my self-care that I am SO thankful for.

I learned to own my deepest desires and take responsibility for making them happen – to live by design rather than just defaulting. Today I’ve changed careers, moved into a beautiful home in a new neighborhood, wake up every day with a new found energy and clearness, and am continuing to build a tribe of women who stretch and support me.

I stopped waiting for that big ah-ha moment. Things are simple just being me when in the moment. I realize that I have the power to control my life the way I want it to be. SDS was a wake up to my amazing life which I may have been in snooze mode for way too long.

The last 6 months of my life have been incredible! I have taken risks I didn’t think I was capable and don’t think I would have been brave enough to do without the support of Katie. All these risks led to huge rewards. Now I literally say to myself everyday “I am the luckiest girl”, because I get to spend my days doing what truly fills me up with nourishment and happiness…I am inspiring people and living my purpose and passions. I wouldn’t be where I am today without the support I received from Katie. Her no B.S. but total enthusiastic support was critical in my journey of the past 6 months.

I have never gotten the same value, insights and engagement with any other programs as I did with SDS and I've done quite a few - Brendon Burchard, Chalene Johnson, Gabby Bernstein, Danielle LaPorte and I could go on and on and on. This is the first program I did all the work until completion because was FUN! I quit a job that was not in alignment to my highest version of me, created healthy boundaries with work and toxic relationships, started to rebuild my marriage and I was able to feel emotions in my body for the first time in years. I feel so much stronger and in control. I am having fun, I feel ALIVE and ready to step into being the person I need to be.
KATHERINE GRAMANN
MILWAUKEE, WI
Marketing Consultant
Honestly I was nervous that SDS would be like every other time I’ve “committed” to making myself change and focus on getting healthy & happy – I’d find a few learnings to latch onto but really not make lasting change. With this sisterhood, I felt so connected and compelled to act. Whether it was Katie or the other ladies in the group, I now realize the importance of my own life and each moment. I haven’t ever felt this sense of urgency to wake up and love and live. I feel so hopeful, empowered, and seriously grateful.
MEREDITH CARTER

Did Katie help me? ABSOLUTELY? Meeting her has changed my life. Her insights and the questions she has asks take me deeply into my blocks and fears. Talking to her comes so naturally and often she has coached me to a breakthrough in my business, personal life and health (with tears) before I even realize what she is doing. She’s a young power-house on her way to helping thousands of women find their inner confidence and glow.
KELLY GERING

Conflict Resolution Extraordinaire
I learned that it takes a tremendous shift to live differently, but that in order to pursue my dreams and to uncover my joy, I have to burn ships. I have to stand vulnerably and shed those parts of me that stand in the way of the real me. And when I catch glimpses of her, it’s breathtaking and powerful and sometimes, otherworldly. I’m excited to continue my exploration and to keep my commitment to bringing her to the light every day. In the end, the world needs more of me as much as I do.

It was a very deep and intense experience; filled with many rewards and most importantly, FREEDOM.

I broke my cycle of self-judgement, fear and uncertainty and created a new reality filled with self-compassion, bravery and comfort in my own skin. And as great as all those things are, they are just the beginning. I feel like I haven't even scratched the surface of what I'm capable of.
