Meet Katherine

Katherine has played many roles in her life—employee, educator, tech developer, entrepreneur. Each chapter taught her how to think strategically, solve complex problems, and keep reaching for more.

She achieved all that success… while being quietly consumed by fear and anxiety.

On the surface, she looked like the perfect corporate player—driven, smart, always chasing the next level.

Underneath, she was crumbling—held together by perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the belief that she had to prove herself at all costs.

What she didn’t realize was that an unresolved trauma was driving it all.

Her unconscious mind was doing its job—surfacing old memories for healing. But instead of understanding the message, she interpreted it all as fear.

Eventually, that fear ran the show.
And all the unprocessed emotion stored in her body turned into illness.

The turning point came when she began working with her unconscious patterns alongside a coach.

That was the beginning of everything shifting.
Through neuroscience-backed tools, unconscious mind transformation, and powerful techniques that tap into the brain’s neuroplasticity, she rebuilt from the inside out. She stopped simply surviving—and began to truly thrive.

Today, Katherine is the visionary behind BU Life Skills Institute, where she coaches, trains, and empowers others to break free from survival mode, rewire old patterns, and step fully into their radiant, authentic power.

Meet Yukkin

From the person who was unaware of themself, pretended to be small for others & felt they were never enough:
—-> To the person who chose to turn their life around, be unapologetically true to self, find self love & embrace their weird and wonderful with a passion!

People are taken aback when I talk about leaving engineering & design awards to get an art degree instead; a pivotal turning point in my journey to be true to self. Creativity was my enjoyment, & it is in everything from problem solving to painting. Creating was healing for myself, the freedom to build myself back up when most people told me to ‘give up’ or ‘that’s a bad idea’.

In a period when I had everything from mental health distress, to physical unrest from prescriptions that left me struggling to walk & told that’s just how my life would be.
I reached a choice: I could keep myself small & go mute when no one listened or: decide to own who I was, where I’m at & get loud, expressive & be my ideal self.

I got loud & proud about honouring my journey & finding self love in flaws & all! 

When I decided to honour my worth, express myself & own my power I changed my whole world. From coming out of closets, mental & physical health upsets to: Rocking my freak flag, self love & expression with a passion!
