She just wanted her family, love, and protection and could never understand why her family was so damaged. As she aged and healed, she learned that the only way to gain love and protection was from within oneself." KatelinKatelin was born in Northern British Columbia, in the small town of Terrace, BC. She loves her little town, the warm summers, and the mild winters. Terrace has a natural “greenhouse” effect due to the beautiful Coast Mountains. She was the third of four children. Throughout Katelin’s childhood, she faced her family’s addictions and negative behaviors due to alcohol and drug abuse. Katelin lost her mother to addictions when she was twelve, and rather than accepting help that came her way, she rebelled.Katelin’s life has been a search. A search to find love. A search to find a protector. A search to find family. A search to find a home and belonging. Then one day, she woke up and realized, what she was searching for all those years, was right there, inside her.Giving birth to a beautiful baby girl, Katelin knew it was time to leave the past behind and forge ahead into a new life.
