Katie O’Brien, M.Ed., is a San Diego–based author, artist, and educator whose mission is rooted in one belief: we are all given a gift, and our purpose is to give it back to others. For over 15 years, she has taught visual arts at the high school level, where she inspires students to use creativity as a pathway to mindfulness, emotional expression, and confidence. Her children’s series, beginning with The Joy of Mindfulness with Dorie the Dog, was inspired by her rescue pup, Dorie, whose curiosity and delight in the world reminded Katie of the magic found in slowing down and being present. Through her colorful illustration and simple SEL practices, her books encourage children to build emotional resilience, gratitude, and self-awareness. Katie is also the author of Be Empowered with Boundaries, a transformational workbook guiding women to break free from people-pleasing, strengthen their self-worth, and communicate with clarity. Her passion for women’s empowerment was born from her own journey of healing from toxic patterns and reclaiming her voice. Her warm, intuitive, and deeply relatable approach makes her a trusted guide for women seeking emotional well-being and personal freedom. Trained through the Motivational Institute of Hypnotherapy under Dr. Marla Brucker, Katie incorporates the principles of neuroplasticity, positive affirmations, and EFT tapping into both her personal life and her writing. Her work blends art, psychology, and mindfulness, reflecting her belief in the mind’s incredible capacity for healing and transformation. A lifelong San Diego native, Katie continues to create art, write, teach, and empower others by sharing her gifts in ways that uplift, inspire, and remind people of their innate ability to grow, heal, and thrive.
