About Us
Hello! I am Katie McCarthy. I am a lover of people and a lover of life. I’m a mama to two amazing kiddos, Mikey & Ali, and I’m lucky enough to walk this life with my supportive husband and soulmate, Bri.
I like to call myself a multi-passionate entrepreneur, but at my core, I am a Wellness Strategist. Professionally, I am a Registered Nurse, a Reiki Master, and a Hemp Wellness Advocate. When I am not leaning into my mission, you will find me at a concert, at the beach, writing, or on my yoga mat.
The Journey
My path has been anything but linear. After earning my B.S. in Psychology at Bridgewater State and my nursing degree at Brockton Hospital School of Nursing, I spent over a decade in pediatric, acute care, and hospice settings. Despite my professional success—including a 12-year chapter as a professional photographer—I struggled deeply with anxiety and depression. In 2019, my life changed when I discovered the power of "The Pause.” Yoga, meditation, and CBD became the first three tools in a wellness toolbox that allowed me to finally come up for air.
The Bridge: Science Meets Soul
In 2020, I began using my nursing background to mentor others in holistic healing, partnering with Green Compass Global to advocate for hemp wellness. After a season as a Director of Clinical Operations in integrative medicine, I found my "full circle" moment: returning to the front lines as a Clinical Nurse Educator at our local non-profit hospital. Here, I realized that nurses and caregivers need more than just clinical education—they need sanctuary. This realization birthed the two pillars of my current work:
- The Pulsecheck Project: I co-founded this non-profit organization to provide "Restorative Resets" for caregivers. We believe that those who care for everyone else deserve to have someone hold space for them.
- Atmosphera: To fund this mission, I serve as a Foundational Affiliate for Atmosphera—a clinical-grade clean beauty and skin care line. It is my "mission with a margin," bridging the gap between high-performance science and restorative soul-work.
My Mission
Today, through Katie McCarthy LLC, I provide my Meant for CHAOS framework. Whether through Reiki healing, wellness retreats, or 1:1 coaching, my goal is to help you regulate your nervous system and find your anchor. I am committed to helping you navigate anything the universe throws at you, while holding the space you need to bring balance back to your body and mind.
Let’s find your center, together.
