Meet Katelyn
As an acute care nurse and leader with 20 years of experience in crisis management, Katelyn uses cognitive and trauma science to create and teach actionable tools that increase trust, decrease burnout, and improve staff and client satisfaction.
Katelyn uses humor and stories to take the complex science of how and why our brains process information differently when stressed, and turns that science into meaningful strategies and brain hacks that allow caregivers and other professionals to become effective in giving and receiving information during stressful times.
"Katelyn Carey is an inspiration- an informative teacher and mentor that guides staff on how to support patients and care for one another. The valuable information that she has helps healthcare professionals provide essential aspects of holistic cancer care to heal patients throughout their life. I would strongly encourage others to invite her to speak to their teams."
