Our Story

Hi! I’m Kat.

It’s impossible for me to tell the story of Land of One without talking about my personal experience during the pandemic. In early 2020, I lost my job just as lockdowns began in the US. With career security gone and the world outside becoming an increasingly scary place to be, I felt anxious and lost.

Then, the following year, a sudden and debilitating skin condition took over my body. I woke up each day with my eyelids swollen shut, sores everywhere that oozed and flaked (sorry, TMI)—and no understanding of a path forward to heal. Doctors had no explanation for what was happening to me.

To combat the stress, I started to really look inward. I paid attention to energy—my own and that around me. I focused on just trying to feel better each day, little by little, and to let go of the things I couldn't control.

Gradually, through this focus, I began to feel—and look—like myself again. Without this work, I'm not sure I would have made it through this dark time. (To this day, I still don't have an understanding of what caused my health condition in the first place.)

I created Land of One as a way to uplift others—to bring more magic into the day-to-day when there are so many things demanding our attention and out of our control. Land of One is about living in the present and finding joy in the small moments—whatever makes you feel good.

Spirituality is different for everyone, so let’s forgo the labels and focus on the feeling. Magic is for all. Namaste :)
