Kate Collins

 
 

Kate was born and raised in New Orleans, where she received a degree in Psychology from Loyola University. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, she spent some time in San Francisco, and upon returning home she put that Psychology degree to great use while tending bar in the French Quarter for roughly the next decade. She was then certified through Body Arts and Science International and went on to own and operate her own private Pilates studio until the birth of her son in 2015.

About a year after becoming a parent she connected with Natalie, co-founder of The Center for Emotional Education, through a course called MOTHER. Kate was in the process of learning how to be a mother in a way that felt right to her, while also addressing the loss of her own mother, who had died fifteen years earlier when Kate was 20. What Natalie brought to this course was guidance in parenting with intention and connection, through the art of Speaking Brain. It resonated so deeply with Kate, and thus her relationship with The Center For Emotional Education began.

During the process of reparenting herself and parenting her young child, Kate also studied, practiced, and taught Modern Buddhism. While this practice has done wonders for her resiliency, something was missing when it came to addressing the capacity of her emotional pain. She found the missing piece in The Center for Emotional Education.

Where she idled in therapy, she quickly sped up here. For Kate, this work has connected all of the dots. It's changed how she relates to her emotional experience, how she supports herself, and how she connects with others. It’s changed the way she parents, partners, and co-parents. It’s changed her brain and it’s changed her life.

After some time, Kate realized that she was also meant to provide for others the unparalleled support that she received through her work with Natalie and Nathan, and she not-so-subtly asked them to bring her on board. Under their guidance, she went on a rigorous and comprehensive personal and scholarly journey and is now a well-seasoned Certified Advanced NeuroEmotional Coach and Educator, helping clients all over the world rewire their brains around feelings.

Kate now helps people all over the world change their brains and their lives.

Testimonials for Kate

“Working with Kate has been nothing short of transformative. As someone with a master’s in social work, years of experience running clinical trials, and a deep understanding of the therapeutic field, I thought I had all the tools I needed. But when I went through a difficult divorce, I realized I didn’t need more theory—I needed real, embodied support.

Kate gave me that, and more.

Through Neuro-Emotional Coaching, I learned how to actually be with my emotions instead of reacting to them. I stopped snapping at my kids (most of the time), and I learned how to repair when I did. I found my voice again. I learned how to trust myself in a way I didn’t know was possible.

Kate doesn’t just hold space—she teaches you how to hold space for yourself. The work we’ve done together has changed how I move through the world.

I’m endlessly grateful for her presence, her skill, and her care.” ~ A.P. 

“I am really having a hard time expressing how beneficial it was to work with Kate. The words do no justice to the amount of healing I received in our weekly sessions. Moving from survival brain into a space of such deep healing. The kind of healing that has and continues to reverberate through my whole family. The truth of healing the mother and you heal the child is so profound. The feelings of gratitude I have for our time together...there are no appropriate words. Just waves of intense gratitude." ~ A.G.

“Working with Kate has been a total eye opener! I've had so many light bulb moments in our conversations and realizations…She has given me so many tools and has guided me in beginning the work of learning to process my feelings and emotions.

She is such a kind, generous and empathetic soul! Which makes this very hard process gentler.

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to work with her! My time working with Kate has truly helped me more than years of therapy. I can’t thank you enough Kate ” ~ A. 

"I've been trying to write a testimonial and it always turns into a love letter...My time with you was the best investment I spent on my healing journey." ~ K.P.

“As a young widow with children, I spent a decade in survival mode. I was succeeding, I thought. My kids were thriving, but I had set aside our grief and ugly emotions because I was scared that they would overwhelm me and my babies. The result, over time, was disconnection, arguments, and frustration. Working with Kate transformed the relationships with my children, as it allowed me to see that they, too, had been living in survival mode and needed me to stop solving problems, or worse, telling them how to solve their problems. Through Kate’s guidance, I’m learning how to better listen to and connect with my children, as we move through the ugly, scary spaces together and safely. Working with Kate is joyful and eye-opening; we’ve shared lots of laughs, and she’s offered practical, logical, and simple methods to cracking the code of parenting teens and tweens. I have no doubt that this work will improve all of my relationships moving forward. “
~ Kelly



“My work with Kate Collins and Center for Emotional Education has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Her continued support in expressing my own painful and difficult emotions as well as her guidance in developing the ability to support myself when those emotions present has given me the grace and confidence to face challenges knowing I can handle whatever comes up. I’ve learned that there is so much clarity and insight into my options and actions if I acknowledge emotions first and work through them towards a more logical state rather than reacting from emotional or survival states.”
