Katherine Baer Costello has had a full career in education – as a teacher, as an administrator, and as a consultant. During a chance encounter in 2016, she met Tom Costello and was delighted to find someone who shared her enthusiasm for living fully and thinking deeply. She was intrigued that Tom openly talked about living to be 120 years old. Although she had always held a conviction that she would live long, she never considered living beyond 100.

Together as a couple, Katherine and Tom have created a lifestyle of healthy choices, forward thinking, and the determination to contribute to fuller understanding of longevity. The blending of their mutual beliefs has led to the expansion of Tom’s original  Live To Be 120 and Healthy website and other related undertakings – especially in the area of mediation.

Katherine’s awareness of how consciousness can change the quality of aging has advanced beyond any of her expectations.

She has learned how to manage her mind and body more actively, rather than hoping long life could be a fortunate by-product of developments in medicine or cultural changes. Her belief that mindset, attitudes, lifestyle and relationships can extend life have become the focus of her life.
