Referral Network
Over the years I’ve had the privilege of training alongside some truly gifted, trauma-informed consultants. I trust their integrity, their compassion, and the care they bring to their work, which is why I’m honored to share them as resources. Each consultant has their own scope, strengths, style, and price range, and every client’s needs are unique—so I encourage you to explore each practitioner and connect with whoever feels like the best fit for you. These referrals are offered purely as supportive options, and Ben and Katie Consulting LLC is not responsible for the services, decisions, or outcomes of any independent consultants listed here. Each person has a unique approach and offers a free “get to know you” session so you can explore which option feels right for you. For any of the consultants listed below, let them know that you heard about them through Ben and Katie Consulting LLC or Katie Miller.

Hi! I’m Carly,
I used to live under the rule of self‑criticism, stress, and emotional turbulence. If I wasn’t ignoring my emotions, I felt dominated by them. I didn’t believe I could feel consistently good in my own life and body. I’m so relieved I was wrong. Through compassion, empowerment, and neuroscience, I found a way forward that led to real freedom - not from life’s messiness, but within it.
I was trained by Abi and Justin Stumvoll (alongside Katie) for 3 years, learning a wide range of emotional health models. The most pivotal part was doing my own deep work, learning how to tend to my inner world. That personal transformation - and the hard-won compassion that came with it - is why I can walk alongside others now. I also completed DNRS (Dynamic Neural Retraining System), a 7‑month program where I learned to rewire my nervous system and approach life in a new way.
I’ve been consulting for five years, specializing in a science-backed, compassionate approach to reshape your life from the inside out. Using a unique, dynamic method, I love helping people navigate their stories and nervous systems in ways that actually work.
Whether you’re facing emotional distress, limiting beliefs, or relational struggles, we can unlock tangible change, not just temporary relief. This kind of healing is for you - and it's not too good to be true.
I live in the Midwest with Amos, my husband of 19 years, and our rescue chow-husky. I’m in my 40s and discovering a new kind of good in life.
