As an educator, consultant and ‘activation’ speaker, Kate Martin’s vision is to help others tap into their full capacity by learning to trust their brilliance more than their doubts. Kate’s work is aligned with those who have learned that our thoughts direct our lives, and as we learn techniques to replace worry and doubt with thoughts of love and creativity, we will move with ease to our passion and purpose.

   Kate has been a high school teacher for 27 years and retired in 2015.  She taught students with special needs as well as those in general education. While working with hundreds of parents over the years, she discovered that there was a significant lack of resources and educational opportunities to help them navigate the many demands of parenting today. For this reason, in 2013 she founded The Purposeful Parent, offering workshops and resources for parents, teachers, and caregivers.

   In 2016 Kate published a book intended to help reduce ‘pre-sleep’ anxiety experienced by many of her students.  The book has quickly become a beloved bedside sleep guide for people of all ages.  The book offers six simple techniques to help dismiss negative thoughts and replace them with positive thinking.

   Today, Kate is busy giving presentations to schools, businesses, community groups, and all who are eager to learn how to help individuals and groups tap into their full capacity!
