The eye behind the work.
Katie has always been the person people talk to. Whether it be those close to her or near-strangers passing through her day, they seem to sense her deeper curiosity and interest in people. What they're afraid of, what they want or what they haven't figured out yet.
Studying psychology, communication, and neuroscience at U.C. Berkeley, Katie then spent her early career in asset management in New York in rooms full of people she learned to read. From there, she pivoted her career and began her career in matchmaking, working as the COO at one of the country's leading firms, where she had thousands of conversations with people who had built remarkable lives.
It became clear that meeting people was never the hard part. Finding someone who meets you at the level that actually counts, intellectually, emotionally, in values, in depth, is something else entirely.
Years of meditation, yoga and spiritual practice has taught her to notice what's underneath what someone says. She can hold what someone tells her alongside what they don't, and find, in that space, who belongs in their life.
That is Dalisa. Everything she has spent decades learning, pointed at the one thing that matters most: who you spend your life with.
