At Life Design Lab we help you align, evolve, and thrive.

Grounded in neuroscience, positive psychology, and holistic practices, our framework will empower you to realign with your values, break through inner blocks, and step into a life that feels clear, purposeful, and truly your own, no fluff, just tools that work.

Grounded in Neuroscience

We dive into the way your thoughts, beliefs, and subconscious patterns are shaping your life, then give you the tools to rewire your mind for confidence, clarity, and calm.

Grounded in Positive Psychology

We focus on what’s strong, not just what’s wrong. You’ll reconnect with your values, uncover your character strengths, and make lasting change from a place of awareness, not self-blame.

Embodied & Holistic

Real transformation doesn’t just happen in the mind. It lives in your body, your energy, and your everyday rituals. We keep things practical and grounded, with somatic tools that help you feel more connected and in control.

Designed for Real Life

No overthinking. No overwhelm. Just tools and strategies you can actually use, in your own way, at your own pace, with real impact.

Exclusive to Life Design Lab - The LIFE Framework

Our signature approach to setting intentions isn’t about hustle or goal-chasing. It’s about shaping your life from the inside out, using our exclusive LIFE Framework to align your values, identity, feelings, and actions.

About the founder

Hi, I’m Kat - Founder of Life Design Lab, mindset mentor and health & positive psychology coach, and believer in bold, sustainable transformation.

I believe life should feel true, not performative. That confidence can be built. That spark can return. That connection belongs in self-discovery. And that if you’re not obsessed with your life, it’s time to change it.

Life isn’t something that just happens to us, it’s something we design. If you’re ready to stop settling and start aligning, you’re in the right place.
