Katie Pearn

Hello everyone, I am Katie Pearn, a Certified Cannabis Educator and Health and Wellness Coach. I earned my certifications through the Cannabis Coaching Institute, accredited by the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching. Additionally, I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Human Development from Colorado State University. I am also a former kindergarten and second-grade teacher.
My greatest struggle in life was my destructive and self-sabotaging relationship with alcohol. Through years of drinking, I became isolated, miserable, and desperate. I had lost hope of living a healthy, productive, and happy life. Finally, through several treatment centers and years of daily alcohol abuse, I had my last drink of alcohol on August 20th, 2020, 20 days after my father's passing. He died a long and heartbreaking death of dementia caused by alcoholic brain damage. I detoxed professionally for five days and came home to begin this new path of sobriety.
I am excited to begin my wellness practice using my experience with Cannabis and healing. I had used Cannabis off and on throughout my adult life. Still, I did not truly understand the incredible complexities of the plant and how we could benefit from it until I began my training at CCI in October of 2021. Cannabis helped me with my anxiety and sleep, especially in the first few months of quitting alcohol.
I had been a teacher most of my professional life. Still, I knew I did not want to be in a classroom anymore, especially with the added stress COVID brought with teaching. So I decided I wanted to find a way to work independently doing something I love every day. Meanwhile, in her training at the Cannabis Coaching Institute, my friend began sharing on social media about being a Cannabis Coach, and I was intrigued and curious. So I reached out to her and began learning about CCI. As a result, I graduated from the Cannabis Coaching Institute in March of 2022.
I am grateful and humbled to be able to do this kind of work with those I love and for those seeking to live a different way. It took me over two decades of living with anxiety, depression, and alcoholism to surrender and try a new way of living finally. By leveraging the healing potential of Cannabis, I help people take control of their health and find the cannabis routines and holistic practices that work for them.
I look forward to helping you change your mindset and transform your life.
