What Our Clients Say
I walked away from each session not only feeling empowered, but having a renewed, positive outlook on circumstances and opportunities. I now have greater clarity around my purpose and values, with tools in-hand that help me achieve my goals and the success I desire. I definitely see the benefits and would say this process has been life changing.

Kathy helped me tremendously from moving forward in my professional development. I was stuck in “victim mode” after leaving a toxic job. Kathy helped me to refocus on my perspectives and steer my thinking to a more positive and productive path. I’m so grateful for her support, encouragement and guidance.

Coaching helped create clarity when things were very blurred and ambiguous. In the process I gained a greater perspective with internal awareness and how to effectively respond to situations. This alone has paid tremendous dividends in my career and personal life. It’s truly the gift that keeps giving. Kathy’s energy and confidence are infectious and reassuring. I am forever grateful that I was introduced to Kathy Walter and her coaching.

Very appreciative of Kathy and her discerning voice of wisdom as she helps equip you with tools that you can use in your personal life to help navigate situations that you may be going through. Whether it is a big move, loss of a loved one, change in job, family or relational issues; Kathy is very professional and caring as she coaches. Kathy makes you feel like you are her only client. I highly recommend Kathy to others.

It was a fun interactive way to teach everyone on our team how to minimize stress. The trainers were upbeat and positive, and had our employees engaged, communicating and problem solving in interactive exercises. When everyone participates nothing gets lost in translation. And we all learn more about each other creating a work environment that is less stressful and more enjoyable. I enjoyed listening to the discussions between employees after the training was over just as much as during the training. The take-aways were insightful.

I found Kathy to have an incredible talent for not only listening to my words, but also HEARING what was running through my mind that I was unable to verbalize. We worked through the COR.E Disciplines and I was able to discover my own point of centre, start cutting through the distractions, moving into action and seeing results. In my experience with the COR.E program, there is not an individual that wouldn’t benefit from working thorough-it with Kathy.

Kathy has been amazing. She has aided me in becoming more focused and working through goals. She absolutely has been an asset not just for me but my family as well.

The easiest way for me to describe the energetic atmosphere during the sessions is that the hour-long session feels like 20 minutes. It is non stop back and forth communication. I don’t ever remember having so many “light bulbs above my head” turned on. I have a solid picture of where I want to be and a much better idea on how to get there.

I’d say the sessions are always thought provoking. I’d describe Kathy as trustworthy, kind, caring, very perceptive and intuitive, and her style as practical, flexible, open and honest.

I think everyone can benefit from a coach whether you are searching for a new career or simply wanting to improve your current situation. It’s very easy to be engrained in our current ways. Things are unlikely to change until someone else shines a light on those items, and provides the tools to work through them. You will be pushed to think, to answer questions, to question the answer to the questions, and ultimately work through to the solution. I gained a heightened perspective around people, conversations, and situations which has broadened the choices in my action, reaction, or lack of action as it pertains to each.

Coaching helped me understand my role in my family of origin’s dynamics a great deal more than I did, which better equipped me to handle all sorts of different situations that can arise. I also have a much deeper appreciation of the different viewpoints on the same situation, which helped with understanding how someone else may see the situation, and better conflict resolution. I already knew my core values and their importance to me, but looking at them in relation to the choices I make was interesting. The process made me more fully appreciate why I make certain choices or why certain things aggravate me more than others.

I have thoroughly loved every conversation that Kathy and I have had together. She is very patient and kind and has really helped me. When I was first looking at life coaches, I really wanted someone with a strong Christian background. I didn’t just want someone who was going to tell me what they thought and what I should do. I really was looking for an accountability partner and for someone who could help me out of my rut and help me be more confident. Kathy has done all of that and more. She is a great listener and a great help and encourager and motivator. I look forward to our conversations and I’m so very glad I made the decision to reach out to her.

I’m sad to say that I’m coming to the end of my 12 week program with BrainBasics. A fully and uniquely customized program that has absolutely flipped my life upside down in the best way possible.
My coach is Kathy Walter and this is a breakdown of her skills and the biggest reason why I’m making a review (I never do these).
What can I say about Kathy Walter that can truly capture her ability to apply intangible, abstract concepts to the daily life of her clients, in the simplest most digestible form.
I know she’s technically not a therapist but she has helped me more than any therapist ever has.
In a nutshell:
Her solution-minded approach delivers attainable goals and roadmaps that open you up to perspectives about yourself that you have never in a million years would have otherwise observed on your own.
-In a sea of yes-men, Kathy stands out as the sole no-nonsense educator and she has no problem calling you out and pushing you out of your comfort zone. However, her ability to do this with empathy and grace truly makes it easy for anyone to take a step forward. She is definitely a velvet hammer.
-Kathy is easily one of the most curious people I have ever met. This gives her the very rare ability to actively listen and poke holes in the logic that our egos often love to create.
-She is a wealth of Knowledge with a vast toolkit of resources and activities that make the sessions fun and informative.
-Finally, she is extremely passionate about her work and often keeps up with her clients years after working with them.
This has truly been a one-of-kind, non-gimmicky, transformative experience. BUT BE WARNED- YOU MUST PUT IN THE WORK IF YOU TRULY WANT TO SEE MAXIMUM RESULTS.

As a Christian it’s always a blessing to find another believer who can help you navigate through the times in life that become a bit overwhelming or just confusing. She’s able to get you on track and help set realistic goals.

Kathy is an amazing and attuned person. She has great coaching skills and a sweet spirit that helps to be able to open up to her. The skills she empowered me with have made such a difference in my life. She helped me to get out from under that heavy dark blanket that was hindering my perspective.

Dana O’Connor
Absolutely cannot recommend this lady enough! I have been her client for a couple of months and already the difference in how I perceive my challenges is tangible…ask my husband! If you are looking for someone to help you overcome personal or professional challenges that really do seem like they are the biggest stumbling blocks, Kathy is someone to turn to. I struggled so much with trust and ‘trusting the process’, but now I am beginning to be more able to see that trust starts with self and trusting the process can really help when looking at long term plans. Kathy has showed me how to stop concentrating on ‘i’ll be happy when or if’ something happens, but to trust that the process can be as rewarding as the destination!
Suzanne Thorneycroft
I did not know what to expect when I was starting my coaching sessions with Kathy. I had a singular focus on finding a new direction for my career. I find that funny now because she empowered me to make changes in every aspect of my life. Kathy truly listens and can quickly drill down to the core of an issue. I had always wanted to think differently so I would feel differently but no matter what I tried nothing seemed to work. Kathy gave me the tools to bring my thinking from being based in fear to now based in joy. I started coaching not knowing what to expect and am blown away by all the positive changes that started in that very first conversation and continued with each session. Kathy is truly outstanding.
