When I started working with Katherine a year ago, I had no idea I was embarking on a journey to re-indigenize myself. I didn’t even know that was a thing. I’ve heard of decolonizing, but re-indigenizing? And that’s not even how Katherine sold herself. In fact, she didn’t sell herself at all. I had been given a copy of her book, and after reading the first few chapters, I felt called to work with her. I have good intuition about the therapists and teachers I’ve let into my life, but I’ve never felt a calling like that before, sight unseen.
I was at a place in my life where I knew I needed tools beyond what were available from my psychoanalytic and religious communities, communities that, while full of amazing people, were nonetheless still wrapped up in cycles of abuse and domination.
Now, a year later, I’ve learned practices that have opened and revitalized my body, my heart, my spirit, my work and my relationships (ancestral and present) in ways I never knew possible, and I know I’m still only just getting started. It has been challenging, and humbling, deeply humbling, but empowering, and God, I have to say it, it has been magical.
Katherine knows her calling—to teach and empower healers—she has worked hard at it, and it shows in everything she does. Can you imagine if we were all, even just a little bit, better at that? Bringing out the magic in each other? I have a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, another doctorate in psychoanalysis, and a master’s in theology, and no one has ever told me that any of this was available. How could this be? I think maybe I’ve found my own calling now too.

Katherine is the embodiment of what is possible when you commit your path to magic and alchemization. Working with her, you’ve got to be ready to release any expectations of who you think you’re going to be and open up to a version that you couldn’t even see for yourself. She uses methods grounded in the body, unlike any other coach or practitioner I’ve ever worked with, and I have been doing this work since the 90s. She also uses methods that she couldn’t possibly market because they extend beyond human words. She travels between timelines and dimensions and will work with you in your dreams, if that’s what it takes to clear the blocks that are keeping you from discovering and stepping into who you are fully meant to be. One of our most powerful sessions was also our shortest session, which really speaks to how precise she is with her work. In 30 minutes, she cleared a block that had been keeping me in a traumatized version of myself, and after that, I felt a level of integration that I had spent my whole life seeking.

I’ve had the pleasure of taking multiple online classes with Katherine, as well as an in-person session. Not only is she an organized and clear teacher, she really walks her talk and embodies what she’s teaching. I came to her having had spontaneous channeling experiences that left me exhausted and disoriented. I left our first class with clear protocols for how to work with the energies more effectively and take care of myself in the process. I am now able to bring more of myself into my work — no more imposter syndrome or self-doubt about my spiritual gifts and no more hiding. I feel deeply affirmed as my capacities continue to deepen, and my work as a healer is more effective now that I understand more about how to integrate my spiritual gifts more fully into my ways of being in the world.
