The Situationship Loop
You keep ending up in almost-relationships. Not quite committed, not quite single. You know something's off but can't get out without burning it all down.
The Ghosting Pattern
Things start great, you open up, and then — silence. You're doing everything right on paper. The problem isn't your effort. It's your nervous system energy.
The Unavailable Magnet
Emotionally unavailable people find you like a homing signal. You know it, you hate it, and yet here you are again. This is a regulation pattern, not a character flaw.
Post-Divorce Identity Fog
Who are you now? You built your identity around a marriage that's over. Dating feels impossible when you're not sure who's showing up to the date.

About Katy
I didn't study this.
I survived it.
I'm Katy Austin — dating reentry consultant, nervous system nerd, and the person people call when they're stuck in a pattern they can't name and can't get out of.
I spent 15+ years navigating Austin's dating scene as a single mom after escaping an abusive marriage to a narcissist — juggling legal harassment, co-parenting, and building a life I actually wanted. What I learned in that process you can't get from a certification.
My approach is simple: dating problems are nervous system problems. When you regulate first, the right people show up. The situationships stop. The ghosting stops. The pattern breaks.
I work with men and women in their 30s–50s who are done settling and ready to show up as their actual selves. No therapy talk. No toxic positivity. Just straight, warm, results-focused guidance.
Lived Experience
15 years as a single mom post-divorce in Austin's scene. Not theory — boots-on-the-ground experience.
Red Flag Expertise
Sharp skills in spotting toxic dynamics and setting firm boundaries with exes.
Austin-Specific
Neighborhood-level knowledge of Austin's dating culture, from South Congress to North Austin.
Nervous System Regulation
Breathwork and energy shifts that move you from anxious to magnetic. Results you feel.
Woman's Perspective
Women sense unhealed trauma as danger. I give you the real playbook so you draw the right people.

"Katy walked with me through the entire divorce — helping me regain my self-worth while I was still in the middle of the chaos. Two years later, I'm in a healthy, loving long-term relationship. She taught me how to regulate my nervous system, set strong boundaries, and show up as the confident woman I forgot I could be."
"Katy didn't just give me dating tips — she taught me how to regulate my nervous system after 20 years of marriage. I went from awkward first dates and constant overthinking to calm, confident presence. Six months later I'm in a healthy, committed relationship."
"I was the classic Austin guy — zero game, outdated style, unregulated energy. Katy called me out in the nicest way. Equal parts funny wake-up call and practical game plan. I'm now dating with actual self-respect instead of desperation."
"Most programs feel generic. Katy's is different — real Austin life experience wrapped in regulated dating strategies. She helped me spot my hidden patterns, rebuild confidence, and stop chasing validation. I'm finally back in the saddle with healthy boundaries."
"The session was eye-opening. Practical tweaks to style, posture, and energy that I could apply immediately. I felt noticeably more confident walking out of that café."
"Game-changing 90-minute session. Katy pinpointed minimal changes on grooming and energy that made a massive difference. Worth every cent."
"She helped me rebuild my identity, set real boundaries, and leave a toxic relationship. I'm dating with clarity for the first time in years."
"Biohacking my nervous system + presence upgrades. Went from being ghosted weekly to having steady quality dates. The shift was faster than I expected."
