About Kate Goldsborough

BEAUTY IS A DECISION

While doing hair and make-up in high school theater, Kate discovered she’d inherited an exceptional eye for color and face shape from her portrait painter mother, Carole Goldsborough McMillen and a hand/eye attention to detail from her ENT surgeon father, Richard H. Goldsborough MD. She pursued an acting career in New York City after graduating from Bennington College, where she did her professional training. She works in the theater today as an actor and a coach.

While working in the theater, Kate picked up on techniques stylists were employing on HER. Using her innate talent, training and techniques imparted to her, she quickly rose to become an essential and respected stylist within her profession. In her own business in Littleton, New Hampshire, now in its 25th year, Kate has become “The Style and Beauty Whisperer.” Through her “urban tastes with a down-to-earth style,” Kate helps women with their look from brows to boots. An accomplished hair stylist, makeup artist and clothing consultant, she’s expanded her offering to include Inside Out Beauty coaching.

My Beauty Story

I was a funny-looking teenager with a popular and beautiful older sister. I was in ballet where being small and thin was optimal and I was gangly and tall. In high school an older boy in my sister’s class said loud enough for me to hear, “Boy that Goldsborough has a bod, but has she got a face like a dog!” This marred my confidence about my looks for years. 

All through my formative years I was always ravenous. When I broke my leg and couldn’t do sports, I began to gain weight. My father forbade me to go to the beach because I was looking tubby. Needless to say I developed dieting habits that threw my system into havoc. 

We all know these early influences can affect us through life. That isn’t even taking into account the underlying message women in our culture get, that our value is attached to our attractiveness. 

But I’m a survivor; I healed myself, and came out even better for it. I made a conscious effort over a long period of time to get where I am today, and I can help you with the tools I learned and developed.  

I have taught these tools to hundreds of women.  I developed the group class to reach more women and give them a tight knit community which often becomes a permanent part of their network.

I’m excited to help you find your style and see your beauty.
