Dr. Katie Eastman
“A Master Grief Coach walking beside individuals, leaders, and organizations through change, loss, and growth—guiding with compassion to transform struggle into opportunity to rediscover purpose, and restore peace.”
For more than 40 years, I have walked beside people in their hardest moments—supporting individuals, leaders, and organizations as they face change and loss. I have learned that recognizing grief is what empowers the process of navigating change to optimize personal and or professional growth. Mentored by Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, I bring both clinical expertise and compassionate presence to help you find renewed purpose and restore peace during life’s transitions.
I believe that with the right guidance, grief can become growth, and change can open pathways to deeper clarity, resilience, and meaning. My mission is simple: to uplift, and help you live and work guided by compassion to restore individual and collective peace in your personal and professional worlds.
A Transforming Change With Compassion, Purpose, and Peace
Change is inevitable. With it comes loss—but also opportunity: the chance to learn, grow, and create something new. My work bridges compassion and strategy, offering both emotional support and practical tools to help you move forward with peace.
I draw upon two proven frameworks:
The Re-Create Model — Retreat, Evaluate, Clarify, Respond, Explore, Accept, Turn, Evolve — a step-by-step process that helps people and organizations process grief and rebuild with strength and clarity.
The Kübler-Ross Change Curve — a trusted guide to understanding how people emotionally adapt to loss and transition.
Together, these models help individuals and organizations transform grief, loss, related to change into resilience, purpose, and peace.
Uplifting: Inspiring stories of loss, change and growth
Dr. Katie’s new book UPLIFTING: Inspiring stories of loss, change and growth is published and available now. It’s part of a growing body of powerful holistic health books that offer real stories and actionable insights to support mind, body, and soul during difficult transitions.
What makes us get up when we are literally or figuratively at our lowest point?
Where does the voice that speaks to us reminding us we are worthy of rising up come from?
Can we harness our own resilience to speed up the process?
Do we have to wait to hit rock bottom or experience utter despair to harness our power to make positive change?
UPLIFTING is different than many personal growth books in that it gives us the tools and offers examples of how to lift ourselves up—from everyday losses to the most challenging changes that bring us to our knees. It’s a compassionate, empowering guide for anyone committed to healing, growing, and ultimately living in peace.

When Peace Is Restored,
Communities Grow Stronger
The impact of grief coaching and compassionate leadership extends far beyond the individual. When providers, leaders, and organizations reclaim peace and resilience, the ripple effect strengthens families, teams, entire communities and ultimately, the world.
Katie helped me envision, clarify, and have confidence in a new direction I set for my life after losing my husband. She pushed me to challenge myself while helping me with new ideas. Her empathetic and warm coaching style plus years of experience was just what I needed to make hard decisions about a fresh start after loss. I couldn’t have done it on my own.
