Kathy is a nationally-recognized women's work-life expert, career coach, author and speaker specializing in helping women achieve breakthrough to create their life and work as they truly want it.

Founder/President of Ellia Communications - a coaching and consulting organization for women offering transformative coaching, seminars and resources -- Kathy specializes in helping women break through the 12 common work-life crises they face today, to reclaim the direction of their lives for abundant success.
