Biography

Katie Rössler is a licensed counselor and grief healer with over 12 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families live healthier, happier lives. As an American living in Munich, Germany with her husband, 2 girls, and a baby on the way, Katie is not new to life challenges and loss. 2018 and 2019 brought on a series of losses in her family, including the death of her mother without warning. Her mission is to help others face life’s challenges and grief without fear and with support.

Katie grew up moving around in a military family and learned to love meeting new people and getting to know new places. After finishing high school, Katie graduated from Mississippi State University with a B.S. in Psychology and a Certificate in Women’s Studies.

As a dreamer, Katie’s vision was big: She wanted to help families and couples grow stronger together through life’s challenges. After experiencing her own parents’ divorce in her teen years, she realized there were some key elements missing to her parents’ relationship and her family’s dynamic that could easily be taught to future couples and families. This added to her mission to get her Masters in Marriage and Family Counseling from The College of William and Mary. After two years of studying, Katie went on to work in in-home counseling and at a residential treatment facility until completing her residency hours and achieving her license.

It was time for her to live her dream: owning a private practice and hiring other therapists specialized in areas she didn’t work in so that families could come to the practice and get all the support they needed from one place. She set off with determination to achieve her goal, and in less than three years accomplished it. Over 500 people were served in Hampton Roads, Virginia by Katie and her team of therapists helping them improve their lives and relationships.

Motherhood was Katie’s next goal, and she took some time off from work to stay at home with her first daughter. She learned the struggles of going from the working world to staying home and after her second daughter knew she needed to create a program to help other moms through this transition. The From Stay at Home Mom to Chief Household Officer® was created to serve Katie and the new mom friends she had made after moving to Munich, Germany. She realized that struggling to be a stay at home mom was not just an American thing. It impacted moms from around the world.

During her career, Katie has successfully owned two private practices, in the USA and in Germany and began impacting a larger online community through online courses and products. She has been asked to hold workshops for Facebook Community Leadership Circles-Munich and the MOPS European Leadership Conference. Katie also works with Boston Consulting Group to provide workshops for their Munich team on productivity and work/life balance, as well as created a workshop during the pandemic on how their employees can work more effectively from home with kids. This workshop was presented online to employees internationally.

Katie is co-founder of Women Entrepreneurs of Munich, a non-profit organization to support the English speaking, female community in Munich who desire to be successful in their endeavors as entrepreneurs. She also has completed Level 2 Certification for the Gottman Method Training for couples therapists.

Getting her message out is important to Katie and she has spoken on over 20 podcasts about grief, motherhood, work/life balance, relationships, and expat life.
