About Katy

Katy Manna Stanley lives with the lights. Her personal journey to a life of awareness, connection and action is what inspired her to create Live With The Lights On; but it wasn’t an easy road.

During adolescence and young adulthood, Katy Manna Stanley found herself emotionally barren and spiritually empty. With agoraphobia, weighing 250 pounds, having an addiction to alcohol and the approval of others, she knew her life was in danger. Eventually, her survival instinct compelled her to come to terms with her difficulties or risk losing her life.

Today, Katy is an intuitive counselor and life strategist and founder of Live With The Lights On. She has a client base spanning throughout 10 countries and has lead hundreds of workshops on her groundbreaking process called, "The 7 Layers of the Self" which rids people of their engrained memories and allows them to live fully and completely in the moment free from the need or desire to lean on drugs, alcohol, food and other forms of ‘barrier builders’. Katy is a dynamic inspirational speaker and a regular guest on radio shows around the United States.

Katy is also mom to a beautiful and witty little girl, wife to an incredible man and the housekeeper to three dogs and two cats.

She only turns off the lights to save electricity!

Reflections from Katy's clients; 

"I wanted to say thanks.  I was completely on point after I left with my visit with you.  Especially cleaning and organizing my special room. I'm feeling back to my old self again.  I also sat and talked with Ken "my husband" about feeling valued, and you were so right.  The discussion he and I had had and revealed so much.  I even had him explore what he would like to do to enrich himself and I was happy to hear that he too would like to take classes, such as guitar lessons. I even asked him about paying you a visit.  He says he isn't quite ready to become that enlightened (LOL). So thanks Katy, for encouraging me take notice in Ken.  I am truly happy to have found you." ~ Elie 

"I just wanted to thank you for our session a few days ago.  It clarified a lot for me.  Since then, I've had a few really good conversations with Brian and I feel like I'm much more ready to just observe the process and accept whatever comes of it.  We both laughed at the fact that much of what you told me is exactly what he's been telling me all along - but when you validated it, I finally believed it." ~Trisha
