About Coach Kathy


Life Coach Kathy Loh
Birthday at Big Sur 2008

I have a wide range of interests, most of which fall into the arts, music, creativity, poetry, psychology, philosophy, quantum physics and spirituality sections of bookstores. I love the outdoors, hiking, road trips, healthy living, music making, journaling, writing, gardening and floating on water. I am passionate about artists as leaders, teaching the whole student, the power of intention and co-creation of reality, and the evolution of consciousness and neuroscience. I am also keenly interested in mind/body/spirit/heart practices, including Reiki, Qi Gong, meditation, chakra systems, medicine wheels, shamanism and sound healing. Besides being a certified coach with a private practice, I am also a faculty coach for Lucid Living and registered mentor coach with ICF. OK I admit it. I am enchanted by life and all the delights it has to offer us. Do you resonate? If so, why not contact me for a consultation and a taste of coaching?

I feel my cells move...I crave that powerful, natural, truthful place!" D.D. (Santa Cruz, CA)

"She created an environment in which I could speak openly, fearlessly and honestly. I am inspired." "It was a life-changing experience." - quotes from participants in Kathy's workshops.
