EM: Who would you say are a few of your greatest influencer? Katrina: As my success grew, I began attending as many personal development seminars as I possibly could. Mr. Tony Robbins became my biggest inspiration. His teachings and events have really changed my life. I have finally realized that anything is possible and my potential is unlimited. While attending seminars, running my Health Mastery retreat and consulting with people on how to heal “incurable” illnesses, I began to attend business and marketing events. I wanted to learn how to grow my brand, because no matter how good I had become at helping people recover from terminal illnesses, my message could not reach everyone who needed it without the benefit of marketing. With this as my goal, I began learning business, branding and online marketing from the best of the best in the industry – Frank Kern, Brandon Burchard, Tim Ferriss and others. This education has helped me tremendously to build and expand my brand. Of course, not everything has gone smoothly, like the time I invested all of my money with one team to help me grow my business and they completely disappeared on me. I have had a lot of rejections and failures, but that is what made me grow. I was able to overcome all of these adversities and create the life of my dreams due to selfdiscipline, will power, faith and a “do-whatever-it-takes” attitude.

Katrina: I came to the United States at the age of 17, on my own, with no family nor friends and $500 in my pocket. I barely spoke English. I graduated from business school, then immediately went to medical school, all while running my own business in New York City. During this time, I woke up one day with a “mysterious” disease, which was labeled “incurable” by western medical doctors. As a result of this diagnosis, I felt I had to take full responsibility for my health and life. I had to heal myself. I have detailed this journey in my first book, titled “Katrina’s Recovery”. While I was really sick, I told myself, if I ever get better, I have to write a book to help others overcome degenerative illnesses like my own. I did not expect the success that came with my first book. It has sold thousands of copies and was an Amazon bestseller multiple times. “Katrina’s Recovery” has been endorsed and/or recommended by people like Sir Richard Branson, David E. Stanley (Elvis Presley’s stepbrother), Michael Irvin – NFL, Matthew Hatchette – NFL, Bryon Russell – NBA, John Assaraf (Featured in the movie The Secret) Joseph McClendon III, Loral Langmeier (Featured in the movie The Secret), Berny Dohrman, and many others. This success, lead me to speaking engagements on the subject of health and wellness, and the launch of my Health Mastery retreat in San Diego.
