Katie (McLean) Samma(she/her)

Welcome 🪷

I'm Katie, founder of mind-heart evolution — a contemplative, mindfulness-based coaching practice that offers a dedicated container for inquiry and wholeness. My work blends somatic awareness, Buddhist psychology, nervous system regulation, and depth psychology, trusting the body knows what the mind hasn't yet realized.

I work with conscious, sensitive, spiritually-inclined people, often at a threshold moment, tired of performing, or exhausted from carrying too much. Together we slow down enough to stay with experience, listen within, and let deeper insights emerge.

I believe our growth and evolution happens through developing honest awareness, meeting ourselves with the gentle compassion we'd offer a loved one, and trusting that wisdom already lives beneath the conditioning.

I hold an MA in Educational Psychology, MMTCP certification with Jack Kornfield & Tara Brach, and ongoing training in counselling and mindfulness-based psychotherapy — with 13+ years in international education and silent retreat experience.

I live in the mountains of Chiang Mai, Thailand with my partner. Gardening, art, music, dance, tea, and community are my daily practice of coming home to my own life.
