Our mission is to provide opportunities for women to invite friends, neighbors, and co-workers to be renewed by God’s love through unique gatherings that aid in the flourishing of their hearts and everyday life.

We hope to see you there!
About Katherine:
Katherine Wolf is an author, advocate, and co-founder of Hope Heals. Originally from the South, Katherine married her college sweetheart and moved to Los Angeles to pursue dreams in the entertainment industry. In 2008, as their six-month old baby slept in the next room, Katherine suffered a catastrophic brainstem stroke without warning. Miraculously, she survived and has spent nearly two decades navigating a second-chance life with disabilities. She continues her recovery to this day and gave birth to her miracle baby John in 2015.
Through caregiving, storytelling, community building, and lived theology, Katherine is inviting others into a vision of hope, interdependence, and embodied resilience. She and her husband Jay live in Atlanta with their two sons. Connect with her online at hopeheals.com and @hopeheals
