Happy thoughts from some of our clients!
I just met with Kristin and she’s really good at making new business owners feel like they’re ready to go! She is incredibly knowledgeable and knows how to point you in the right direction with your small business needs. Thank you Kristin for working with me today! Your services are amazing!

A partner and I chose Kristin of Catalyst Consulting to help us launch our podcast. We found her to be diligent, resourceful, full of ideas and a pleasure to interact with. In spite of the fact that we were a bit unfocused at the beginning, she never took anything personally and politely helped us to present ourselves on social media in the best possible light. Even when our contract ended she made herself available to answer any questions we still had. A gem.
Kristin with Catalyst Consulting is the best! She genuinely wants her clients to achieve success and will do whatever it takes to help them reach their professional and personal goals!
-Jessica H.
Kristin is such an amazing person to work with, she is so good at taking all your jumbled up goals and dreams that you have for your business, and organizing them to create a realistic game plan that actually works! She’s been working with me for a few weeks now and I already see a huge improvement both with my online social media accounts and with my own motivation! She’s inspired me to tackle some projects I’ve been putting off because I didn’t know how to proceed. I can’t wait to see what the rest of our time together results in.
-Whitney V.
Kristin with Catalyst Consulting, encourages you to dream again. I was floundering because I was trying to succeed at a business model that was not using my inborn talents and abilities. By helping me figure out what I really love doing, and incorporating that into a viable business, she's got me on the right track. I've not been so pumped about where I'm going for a long, long time.
