About Kachina (Founder/Principal Consultant)

With over 20 years in human resources, I’m passionate about helping people and organizations grow in healthy, meaningful ways. I love turning complex HR challenges into simple, practical solutions that make work easier and more streamlined. My approach blends deep technical expertise with genuine care for people and culture—because I believe thriving workplaces start with trust, clarity, and compassion. Whether you need project-based support or a long-term HR partner, I’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward with confidence.

My Willow Tree business name and logo were inspired and created by my 14yr old daughter. The willow tree is a symbol of strength, resilience and flexibility (and in some cultures represents compassion).
