Who is the transformer unicorn?
Hi there, beautiful being!
My name is Katie and I’m your yogi tech girl.
I have always been going back and forth between computers and people. I have a bachelors in Psychology (lots of people stuff, but guess who specialised in neuropsychology and AI? hehe). Then I got a masters degree in Statistics. From that education I entered the work force as statistician, just to find out how constricting those Excel cells can be.
Fast forward to being burnt-out, lost in the world (actually travelling), quit my job and sold my house. I was so unsure about my next step and it was so scary! That’s when I decided to do a yoga teacher training.
Maybe you recognise some of this story? Maybe you are still stuck in Excel, but with a yoga teacher certificate in your pocket? Maybe you are further along in your yoga career.
From the get go I wanted to build an online business. First off because I was still lost in the world, not very much settled and because I knew that would fit me better with my always present conflict between people and computers.
That’s what led me to coming up with Transformer Unicorn (if you want to know why this name, scroll down). I love creative flow, I love making people smile, but with just teaching, I was missing my computer. I wanted to do a little bit more tech, but still yoga. Is that possible?! Oh yes.
As I was going deeper into the yoga teacher world, I found that so many teachers only teach part-time, only dream about teaching, or the ones that teach full-time are or burning out or have a huge team supporting them.
I wanted to become a supporter of dreams.

What do we have in common?
Let's connect, my (new) friend! Here are some fun facts about me, let's see if we share any of them!
I moved a lot in my life
I was born in Hungary, where I moved at least 4 times. I grew up in the Netherlands, where I moved at least 7 times. Then I decided to move to Slovenia, where I have already moved 3 times. I like adventures, but sometimes all I really crave is a stable home.
I used to work in the office
Oh yes, I was a statistician at one point! I thought I had a very important, adult job. But honestly, it dimmed my creativity so much, that experience is one of the things that keeps me going to spread the unicorn magic. 🦄
I read a LOT
Yep, total book nerd here!
I love potatoes
There are a few things that people will always tag me in on the socials: stuff with unicorns, transformers and potatoes. I just absolutely love potatoes.
I'm an early bird
I go to bed at 9pm. No matter what's going on, that's a hard rule. Then the next day I jump out of bed sometime between 5 and 7.
Let's connect!
But really, why transformer unicorn?
You made it all the way to the end of this page, awesome!
You might still be wondering, okay, but why call yourself the transformer unicorn? It's so random!
Let me explain so that you can also soak in this magic. These words mean a lot to me. As a child, I was into Transformers and Unicorns. Pretty simple. But somehow, they were always in the back of my mind. It wasn't until much later that I realised it was not just about Transformers and Unicorns, but about something much deeper.
Transformer: so yes, originally just the robots that can turn into cars. But now... a transformer is something like a caterpillar that is currently a goop but is about to turn into a butterfly. It's about the ever-changing nature of life. It's my favourite part of life. When there is a buzz in the air, the need for change, the unknown! It reflect my curiosity to always keep exploring.
Unicorn: originally just my little pony and horse riding and all things pink. But now... a unicorn is a representation of all things silly, magical, mysterious. That sense of trust in the unknown, because deep down you know. It's also a symbol for union. Oneness. Belonging.
...and I have a transformer unicorn.
