Meet Katie
Dr. Katie Keene-Montgomery combines her former professional athlete experience, her academic knowledge in anthropology, performance psychology, and hypnotherapy to help individuals unlock peak performance, improve memory, build resilience, and harness the subconscious mind. Her approach blends cultural insight with personal strategy, aligning clients’ goals with deeper purpose and well-being.
As an Army veteran and having raced motorcycles since the age of eight (professionally from the age of sixteen to twenty), she understands firsthand the demands of high-stakes, risky environments. Combined with her background coaching girl’s and women’s wrestling, Katie brings a rare perspective on resilience, discipline, and the mindset required to excel when the pressure is highest—insights she now applies to guiding leaders, innovators, and high achievers.
Katie holds a non-secular Ph.D. in Anthropology and is completing a Ph.D. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology with a focus on cross-cultural leadership. She is also a certified clinical hypnotherapist (IAOTH-UK), an Ikigai coach, and aligns ethically with the American Association for Drugless Practitioners.
Katie continues to publish and contribute to professional and academic communities, including Hypnozine. Her clients turn to her for stress relief, freedom from limiting patterns, creative breakthroughs, and enhanced mental performance.
Drawing on her multi-disciplinary expertise, Katie offers a holistic framework that blends science and artistry—guiding transformational journeys toward clarity, balance, and lasting change.
