Let’s Get to Know Katie!
Hello! My name is Katie Grabois, I am born and raised here in Houston – specifically the Kingwood area. I have three beautiful kids, ages 10, 8, and 5!
Truthfully there have been many small moments that came together to inspire me on this journey, but the main theme for me has always been my passion for helping people. I have always wanted to make a difference in the lives of those I meet and my community around me.
Absolutely! So Connections with Katie is all about providing guidance and healing to any and all who may need it! I am a Reiki practitioner and intuitive guide — so I provide energy healing sessions and intuitive readings to help answer your life’s questions!

It truly is a learning curve everyday. I am blessed to be a busy mom who also has a 8-5 job on top of growing my business; so I usually run out of time somewhere everyday. What works best for me is to try and cram as much as I can into the hours before my kids wake up or after the go to bed. I am also extremely blessed to have a partner who is supportive and is a great parent to boot!
The most rewarding part of running my business has been seeing my clients flourish and grow in the areas of their lives that we work on together. It truly lights my fire to know that I get to be a part of someone else’s journey, and that I helped in some way. The most challenging is probably 1. having enough time in the day, and 2. introducing people to what I do. A lot of people in our area have never heard of Reiki or think what I do is scary; and I just want to show that I’m a normal person who wants to help others.
Mom guilt is a tough one for me. I struggle with it heavily, but know that ultimately it is a good thing for my children to see me pursuing my dreams and enjoying my life. I don’t want any of them to feel like you have to lose out on parts of yourself to be a good parent or spouse.
That it takes TIME to grow, and it’s okay to be small. I had a lot of hang ups about being small and not having the same budget or clientele as other people; but I realized that what is meant for me will find me, and everything is a lesson to learn.
I try and be as transparent and vulnerable with my kids as I reasonably can. I never use the “because I said so” line, instead I try and explain my reasoning and tell them the truth. I also apologize ALOT to my kids; when I get something wrong, I am quick to say sorry and explain that I am still learning life just like them. I think both of these things help my kids feel connected to me and know that they can count on me.
I meditate often to help me remain balanced and calm. I also love going for walks with my dogs in the mornings before everyone gets up.
Adapt. Learn. Grow.
There is so much planned for Connections with Katie! I have a few guided meditation classes coming up, EmpowerHer Hope in March, and I’m hosting a wellness retreat in September that registration will be released in March as well!
I truly believe that everyone can benefit from my work because as individuals and collectively it’s easy to get bogged down in life; having someone who can help you redirect your energy on your path is so helpful no matter what you do. I have a client who endured a lot of trauma in their childhood and young adulthood, and are still working through processing all of it. In our first session together, they said the pain that they felt for years had been released, and they felt relaxed for the first time in years! It was so amazing.
