Hi, I’m Katja Elk, certified Martha Beck master life coach, and I’m
here to help you become the kind, confident and gifted person you
are meant to be by using my Heart Cycle Mentoring Program.
This program is for you if you are tired of missing out on so many precious life experiences because dealing with anxiety and depression is often too much to handle on your own.
Are You Ready
to Find Relief from the Debilitating Effects of Anxiety and Depression?
I know that you have the power within you
to overcome your suffering due to feeling
overwhelmed, anxious and depressed.
I get it. I’ve been there. I can relate to the exhausting search and the often unsatisfying results when it comes to trying to find relief from the painful symptoms caused by anxiety and depression.
Right now, the universe is not just teaching us a hugely valuable lesson in survival, it is also offering us an opportunity to rethink and reset the ways we can heal ourselves, each other and the beautiful planet we live on.
But how, when everything around us seems to crumble and our levels of anxiety, fear and depression are going through the roof, how, in this time of crisis, can we go about rethinking and resetting our life path?
Using my experience as a certified master life coach, horse trainer and former creative director, I have put together a mentoring program called
Imagine you truly LOVED yourself!
Imagine you loved yourself enough to make sure that your mind and body are so well taken care of that you can make the timely decisions and take the inspired actions needed to live your most joyful,
spirited and purposeful life.
Imagine you wake up rested and in good
spirits because you had a good night’s sleep.
Imagine you feel hopeful, positive and
motivated, looking forward to the delights and
the challenges each new day holds for you.
Imagine the deep connection, the joy, the fun
and the immeasurable pleasure that comes
from spending time with your loved ones when
you are fully present and at peace with yourself.
Imagine you could use all of your energy to move forward with your dreams and aspirations, and your visions and goals are starting to take shape.
Imagine the deep sense of satisfaction about a job well done, a plan well executed, a mission accomplished without battling anxiety and depression.
All of these things are possible if you truly love yourself. All of these things are possible if you allow yourself to grow into the kind, confident and gifted person you are in your essence.

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE LEARNED:
Time spent consciously in the here and now
is one of the most precious things you can give
to yourself and your loved ones.
Over the course of my own search for a healthier, more peaceful and meaningful life, I found that lots of people live with little awareness of who they are in their essence, how certain key-events in their lives have shaped their identity, what role the ego plays and how to free themselves from the ever-present notion of not being enough.
As a result, they experience long periods of
stress-induced discomfort and suffering, often
leading to anxiety, depression, chronic pain
illness, and/or other mental and physical
health issues.
This is what I have learned: If you are serious
about generating meaningful, lasting change
for yourself, you will need to have a solid plan,
effective tools and a step-by-step program. And you will need regular, personalized, human support to keep you focused, accountable, motivated and locked-in with the momentum you’re creating for yourself.
THIS IS WHAT IT’S LIKE:
This is what some of my clients have said…
“… working with Katja can change your life.”
“Katja’s highly effective coaching tools include powerful questions, thought-provoking exercises and sharing of high level expertise from her significant base of knowledge. Most compelling was my increasing awareness of what beliefs and behaviors were, or were not, allowing me to achieve my intentions and as a result, how to release stress (in all modalities), improve communication, body language and therefore relationships, and realize my goals. I continue to engage in these practices in my everyday life. I highly recommend working with Katja, it can change your life!”

THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL RECEIVE
when you sign up for the Heart Cycles Mentoring Program: You will…
… enroll in a 3-month personal growth program* primarily designed for people who are suffering from anxiety and depression.
… follow the curriculum of the digital workbook called 'The Heart Cycle, What Horses Can Teach Us About Going from Overwhelmed, Anxious and Depressed to Being the Kind, Confident and Gifted People We Are Meant To Be' (140 pages) that includes 6 spiritual guidance modules, beautifully crafted worksheets, tools, exercises, guided meditations, and 10 (ten) 60-minute one-on-one coaching calls with me scheduled weekly or every other week.
… receive a road map that will guide you through the developmental key-stages of your life, helping you understand the shaping of your identity, the origins and complex dynamics of the ego, as well as the root causes for your current suffering.
THIS IS WHAT IT TAKES:
It takes TIME (…but not as much as you might think. In fact, ultimately you will ‘make up’ for a lot of lost time.)
Of course, it takes time to rewire your thought patterns, your emotional reactivity and the connected behaviors that no longer serve you.
To be really clear, it doesn’t take a lot of time every day, but it does take regular, small steps throughout your week to process and practice what you are learning. Your brain and your body will need to be able to absorb, process and use the new information that will help you become more fluid in this new way of being yourself.
Additional to your step-by-step learning process, The Heart Cycle Mentoring Program will provide you with plenty of very doable tools, effective exercises and meditations to help you create your own new daily habits.
Just think about the precious time you will gain when you learn how to manage your emotional reactivity and when you will be able to consciously engage with (or disengage from) your thought activities. Think what you will do with the precious time when you will be able to participate in life more fully and in happier, more meaningful ways.
It takes DEDICATION (…there’s just no way around it.)
It’s true, it takes dedication and the right level of commitment to stick to a program that will produce real growth and lasting change in the ways you feel about yourself, how you make conscious use of your mind and how you show up in the world of form.
Considering the many areas of improvement in your personal and professional life, your physical health and your mental wellbeing, a 3-month program is a fairly short commitment though, especially when it allows you to take advantage of the highly personalized support you will receive on your journey to becoming the kind, confident and gifted person you are meant to be.
It may take you a bit of soul searching, or you may be ready right now, but the truth is, you will only get as much out of this program as you are willing to put into it — and I’m not just talking about money. Money is just another form of energy. You will need to be willing to invest yourself authentically and fully into this process if you want to give yourself the best chance for a successful transformation. You will know when you are ready.
It takes an INVESTMENT (…yes, but again, not as much
as you may think.)
I believe in the old proverb that says that the teacher will show up when the student is ready. This happened to me many times. Sometimes, it was not the right time to make a financial leap, and sometimes it was. You will know — you will feel it in your gut — if this is the right time, the right program, the right teacher, and the right investment for you right now. Trust yourself.
If/when you decide to sign up, I will welcome you with open arms, and I will be so excited to support you on this transformational journey. If you are stressed-out, exhausted and struggling to get through your days and nights in a peaceful manner, you will find great relief, deeper levels of understanding, effective tools and exercises in the gentle step-by-step process of the The Heart Cycle Mentoring Program. You will learn how to fall in love with yourself, you will learn how to get to the root cause of your anxiety and depression, and you will become the creator of your own best life.
The fee for the 3-month Heart Cycle Mentoring Program is $2575. This is a limited time offer.
This sounds great, but…
I don’t want to convince you to sign up for something that doesn’t feel right to you. Maybe you don't seem to have enough time for everything you want to do as it is? Maybe you’re already picking up bits and pieces from this book, that retreat, podcast, or yet another online course? Piecing things together, trying to figure out the puzzle all on your own? Taking detours and coming to the same cross roads over and over again? If that is you, then what I have to offer may not be your thing. Your journey may take you on a path that has its own timing and its own wisdom, and if that is the case, happy travels, my friend, I wish you well.
Before you leave though, just a couple of things: This mentoring program is not about changing who you are in your essence. It is about (re-)discovering your true self and about making you more comfortable and more confident in your own skin.
If you are an introvert, be the uniquely wonderful, quiet, fierce, enchanting introvert that makes you You!
If you are an extrovert, be the uniquely awesome, exuberant, captivating extrovert that makes you You!
If you’re somewhere in between, then be the uniquely gifted, grounded yet genial, charismatic ambivert that makes you You!
This program is not a one-size-fits-all type of overhaul of the awesome person you know you are. It’s about having a very close look at who you are very specifically and how you can move out of your own way to blossom and step fully into the light of the world.
… let the horses’ natural wisdom teach
you how to create a more peaceful yet
empowered state of being in all areas of
your life (self-care, boundaries, purpose,
creativity, professional and personal
relationships, leadership, etc.).
… go through a number of customized
exercises, visualizations and guided
meditations to actively explore and
verbalize your own personal experiences
throughout each developmental key-stage as well as engage in new practices to create lasting change as you move forward on your path.
… take charge of your inner well-being in order to create a more purposeful, satisfying and peaceful state of being in the fast-paced, ever-changing environment of the outer world.
…(re-)discover your natural gifts and use them with kindness, confidence and creativity to serve the world in your own unique ways.
… learn how to satisfy the dissatisfaction within yourself, reduce your cravings for external validation as the only source of fulfillment, and relieve your suffering due to mind-made stories.
… develop a mindset and a skillset that will allow you to see yourself clearly, to love and honor yourself, and to show up in the world as the kind, confident and gifted human being you are meant to be for the rest of your life.
*Note: This program is neither a substitute for a thorough examination of your mental health status nor will it replace any mental health care services you may need. In case you decide that you need therapy by a licensed counselor to help you with your mental health, this program may be helpful as an adjunct modality as it will provide you with an additional opening into understanding yourself better and a wonderful opportunity for a mind-body-spirit reset.
The Heart Cycle, What Horses Can Teach Us About Going from Overwhelmed, Anxious and Depressed to Being the Kind, Confident and Gifted People We Are Meant To Be.
What do I mean by kind, confident and gifted?
What I mean is that there is a truly kind, truly
confident, truly gifted and truly lovable version
of yourself hidden deeply within you.
Buried beneath feeling overwhelmed, anxious
and depressed, this lovable version of yourself
has a right to be heard, seen and loved — first
and foremost by you — and the time to come
out of hiding is now!
“… joy and insightful intelligence …”
“Katja’s joy and insightful intelligence were a powerful combination to help me get to the heart (and soul) of how I wanted to show up in my life. Outside of our meetings she provided simple practices to help me stay connected to myself. She is a gifted coach with deep wisdom to share about helping you find your own wisdom!”
— Courtney Kaplan, Director Program Management at Facebook
“… I’m taking chances, I’ve found my voice …”
“Katja has guided me with grace, intuition and brilliance to a much more enlightened, empowered life. I’ve always been very anxious. Working with Katja, I’ve learned a new way of being, going inward, listening to my gut, my intuition. There is a flow now, a 'knowing' about what to do next, in career, in mothering, in relationships. I’m enjoying my work a lot more. There’s a sense of play and trust in my capabilities. I’m presently directing a short film. I’m taking chances, I’ve found my voice, and I really have Katja to thank for that.”
— Diane Cossa, Actor, Director, Producer
“… revelatory, and liberating …”
"The times I’ve spent learning from Katja and horses have been some of the most joyful, revelatory, and liberating of my life. Her deep understanding of these amazing animals will open your heart, mind, and spirit. Don’t miss out."
— Martha Beck, Sociologist, Life Coach, Author, Speaker
“… getting to the root of the issue …”
"Katja is incredibly gifted at getting to the root of the issue while allowing her students to comfortably join the conversation. She helped me learn how to transition from being in a space of fear and negativity to one of positive change through her gentle yet straightforward guidance."
— Janet Conley, VP, Creative Services at MedAccess, Writer
