As The Work became an integral part of my everyday life, I knew that my lifelong search for "the way to peace" was over. I first attended The School in 1999 where I experienced how the 4 questions and the turnaround offered me the vast and simple personal entrance to myself. The gate opened and The Work turned me outside in, at times bringing me to my knees, humbled, and filled with gratitude. The experience of doing The Work always brings me to the truth, sometimes via many tears, often with sheer laughter at how hilarious the thoughts suddenly seem and sometimes with just a simple "Aha". Every aspect of my life has shifted from this work. Stressful thoughts about business, money, partner, family, health, aging, and parenting just don't stay when brought to an honest inquiry.

In the last few years I did The Work to inquire about my physical pain and my painful thoughts about the body, losing my ability to walk, and my deep fear of dying on the operating table which ultimately would mean abandoning my children. During this time I noticed how all my stressful thoughts about this experience, both expressed and unexpressed, had become my 10 year old daughter's thoughts too and that she was the living, glaring example of when Mom's Work isn't done yet. Through inquiry, I noticed how as the thoughts let go of me and my experience radically shifted, her thoughts and life changed too, with her sometimes doing The Work along with me, and sometimes not. I moved, and then she moved. What had been my horrific living nightmare of pain and suffering, became an experience of profound peace, a simple knowing on the way to surgery that whether I lived or died, walked or didn't, everything always was and is good and as it should be. Having my children grow up in a family that has The Work is so much fun and such a gift!

I love to facilitate The Work and am excited to see what thoughts my clients bring and the transformation that occurs. I am available to do The Work with adults, children, and couples in person and by phone.

Please contact me with questions and to schedule a time to do The Work.

The Work in Action


"I'm too fat"

-------

“A spiritual innovator for
the new millennium.”
TIME

-------

“Katie's laser-like tough love burns away all illusions.”
The Times of London

-------

“Byron Katie’s Work is a great blessing for our planet. The root cause of suffering is identification with our thoughts, the ‘stories’ that are continuously running through our minds. The Work acts like a razor-sharp sword that cuts through that illusion and enables you to know for yourself the timeless essence of your being.
Joy, peace, and love emanate from it as your natural state.”
Eckhart Tolle
author, The Power of Now

-------

“Byron Katie is one of the truly great and inspiring
teachers of our time.
She has been enormously
helpful to me personally.
I love this very wise woman.”
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer
author, Inspiration

-------

In a letter from Helsinki, Finland, J.V. writes:
"...two groundbreaking Stanford University pain syndrome experts consider Byron Katie's approach the best form of Cognitive Therapy. In the new revised 5th Edition of A Headache in the Pelvis (pp. 326–330), which came out in May 2008, Stanford psychologist David Wise, Ph.D., and neurologist Rodney Anderson, M.D., refer to Albert Ellis' Rational-Emotive Therapy and Aaron Beck's Cognitive Therapy and then write (in their italics)
: 'The best form of Cognitive Therapy, in our opinion, is offered in The Work of Byron Katie, who provides an approach to disarming catastrophic thinking by means of a process that one can do oneself. This is the approach that we recommend.' They then describe the procedure, adding: 'Our description of this process is rarely sufficient to become proficient at it. We discuss this method in our monthly 6-day clinics. Information specifically about this cognitive therapy work can be found at www.thework.com and in the books of Byron Katie." Wise and Anderson are practical, in-the-trenches therapists who work daily with severe pelvic pain and other chronic syndromes. They recommended Byron Katie's method already in the 4th edition of the book
(pp. 298–301).'

“Byron Katie's teachings
and everyday life
are pure wisdom.
Her Work shows us
the way to inner peace,
and she directs us there,
fearlessly, relentlessly, and
with utmost generosity.
I have rarely seen anyone
—spiritual teachers included— embody wisdom as powerfully as Katie in her passionate embrace of each and every moment.”
Roshi Bernie Glassman

-------

“Katie’s Work is a
wonderful, transformative practice for anyone interested in spiritual growth.”
Lama Surya Das
author, Awakening the Buddha Within

-------

“Good Lord! Where did Byron Katie come from? She’s the real McCoy. Her Work is amazingly effective—a simple, straightforward antidote to the suffering we unnecessarily create for ourselves. She asks us to believe nothing, but provides a surprisingly effective and simple way to cut through the tangle of delusions we wrap ourselves in.”
David Chadwick
author, Crooked Cucumber: The Life and Zen Teaching of Shunryu Suzuki

-------

“Suppose you could find a simple way to embrace your life with joy, stop arguing with reality, and achieve serenity in the midst of chaos. That is what Loving What Is offers. It is no less than a revolutionary way to live your life. The question is: are we brave enough to accept it?”
Erica Jong

author, Fear of Flying
