I’m Katherine Quintana. You can call me Kat.
I’m a freelance writer who loves helping wellness leaders express themselves – for more revenue and greater impact.
Supporting holistic health businesses is kind of a must, because…
My journey into mind-body-spirit wellness has been deeply personal. Several years ago, I struggled with a months-long respiratory infection. Instead of turning to conventional medicine, I turned inward. Through fasting, juicing, and a raw vegan diet, I allowed my body to heal naturally.
I learned about these methods from an iridologist, but primarily through online articles and social media content published by holistic health practitioners and businesses. Thank goodness they had taken the time to share their knowledge for free!
My holistic path didn’t stop there.
After enduring years of hormonal imbalances and painful periods, I found relief by reducing my sugar intake and simultaneously working with an energy therapist. This therapist helped me confront emotions I had been suppressing since childhood and adolescence. Finally, a voice was given to the parts of me that had not fully been acknowledged.
Fun fact: this therapist was based in the UK! I found him because he posted content that matched the keywords I had searched for on Google.
Here’s a semi-quick recap of what happened next:
I let go of alcohol overuse, an up-and-down icky mess I had been cleaning up for 10 years. Did I find the inspiration to do so alone? Absolutely not. Did the internet once again play a role in my behavior change toward a healthier lifestyle? Absolutely.
Once I dropped the alcohol, I started forming healthier physical habits. But my communication shifted, too. Communication is an aspect of wellness that people typically don’t consider. As I faced emotions head-on instead of drowning them, I practiced (and am still practicing) transparent self-expression.
Now I know I am still safe and loved when I use my voice and express my thoughts.
God, circumstances, and the people around me continue to prove that it’s okay to make mistakes. They lead to more revisions…and eventually more success.
If you’re an executive or entrepreneur in the health and wellness world, I’m ready to help you adopt the same attitude. I’m here to bring truth and simplicity to your digital communications – whether B2B or B2C.
Together, we’ll be okay with the friction of expressing ourselves.

In some contexts, basil is seen as a mind-body-spirit harmonizer.
Basil is supposed to bring a sense of clarity to one’s thoughts, will, and actions. I see this as an appropriate symbol for the process of expressing yourself to connect with your audience and grow your business the way you desire. Also, ChatGPT helped me organize my B.A.S.I.L. acrostic. (See? Artificial intelligence isn’t all that bad!)
Anyhow, when you play around with the above elements, you are bound to make mistakes. But it’s natural. Plus, the more mistakes you make, the likelier you are to reach the version of success that you find truly fulfilling.
Give me a laptop and some greenery, and I’m good to go.
