Lifehackers Inst. is a compassionate, strengths-based, data-driven, ecosystems-focused, trauma-informed, next-generation people development company.
It was founded by social entrepreneur Katrina Loukas - author, and ambassador of the Sydney Hub for Systems Innovation .
Katrina's expertise as a successful process-oriented psychotherapist specializing in human optimization; & lead statistical modeller specializing in economic impact evaluation/research (time series /causal impact analysis) - has shaped the company into the next-gen people development company it is today.
We are passionately driven toward data-driven, ground-breaking, ecosystem-shifting strategy that compels.
Our work draws from complexity theory, process-oriented psychology, somatic experiencing, data science, complex systems thinking and emergent leadership (VUCA).
Its not just about developing people, it’s about optimizing their talent, interactions, experiences, psychology and organisational/group relationships. In this way we dispel the limiting ‘silo haze’ - to pave the way for individual and group coherence.
We offer socially innovative solutions for individual; and small or large group transformation.
We are a boutique independent NDIS provider for capacity building services - specialising in behavioural therapy and holistic psychotherapy.

"(Katrina).. has taught me to laugh again, to feel young and playful and to embrace everything in front me as an exciting challenge. Not to be and feel a victim but to take experiences along the way and run with them until you no longer need that experience anymore and then magically another one pops up in front of you. How exciting. It is very magical actually now thinking about it and that is how I am seeing my life now.
I have learned to not be anxious and accept challenges as the new thing for the day or week or month."
- Toni 47, Sydney Australia
“Katrina is science and magic. She is incurably wise, playful and fun. She brings me joy and rattles my cage in the most delicious way. I love the way she addles my mind with new paradigms.”
- Kim, Sutherland Shire
"Katrina, ... I did not think someone could get to the heart of things in such an approach, yet I found out that what you do is remarkable... I have NO hesitation in recommending you to people. What you do quite quickly uncovers that which has been hidden, that no longer serves…and in the uncovering you take people to the next stage of release just as effectively."
- Mark (52) Sydney, Australia
“(Katrina) ... was brilliant! ... It’s amazing how quickly she uncovered the truths of it all... "
- Kylie (41), Cronulla
