Welcome - I’m so glad you’ve found me. I’d like to take a few moments to introduce myself so that you know that you have found a kindred soul here!

I’m Kat - I once had an astrologer say to me when I shared my fear of being too magickal that she had never seen a birth chart that so loudly yelled witch, that it would be pointless for me to try to hide my magick. Yet still I’ve tried for decades to hide it and to fit into a normal life in a normal world.

And I don’t know about you - but the more I try to veer off the path that my soul came here for the louder the Universe gets in its course corrections. Until unable to get my attention any other way…. I got hit in the head, literally. While living in chronic, debilitating pain for 8 years with a TBI (concussion) I decided to start the journey to get to know myself and what a ride it has been.

I first tried to heal myself by desperately searching for someone outside of me to fix me. Healers, teachers, professionals, supplements, podcasts, courses, life hacks, relationships…you name it - I was certain the cure was to be found in the next expert I met, or from the next man who paid any attention to me.

Boy, that was exhausting and while I did learn more about myself with each of these, nothing that came from the outside seemed to bring me peace, help me be comfortable in my body or really help me stick to anything long enough for me to make lasting change..

I once made a mind map of all the modalities I had used to try to “fix” myself…it was a collection of post it notes that took up an entire wall at the airBNB I was staying at. I think it was seeing the visual of how much I had invested without much improvement that really caused me to stop and take a look in the mirror. What was I doing? How was I even living my life other than this cycle of chasing and waiting? Chasing a fix, validation, love, acceptance, permission to be me, freedom and all the while waiting to live and not just exist.

While I was on this journey…I also began to look out at the people in my life, friends, acquaintances, work colleagues, clients…random people in coffee shops. And I started to notice something. I wasn’t really unique in this mad dash to outsource my happiness. It seemed to me that most everyone I met was going through the motions of this thing called living. We might all be doing it differently but the one thing that seemed similar was that we were all deeply craving connection.

It’s when I started to realize that we are living in a time on earth where we are chronically disconnected. Disconnected from ourselves, each other, our divinity, our planet, and the natural cycles that once guided our ancestors on how to move through their days, months and years.

Cultivating genuine connection began to be my focus - and that connection began with myself, my divinity and the cycles of Mother Gaia, and especially the beautiful relationship we have had with the Moon for centuries. I could talk about how lunar living has impacted me for hours…in fact I’m sure this would be my TED talk if I ever had the chance!

Other connections I hold sacred that will help you get to know a little bit more about me include:

I’m a mother to a teenage boy, who is off exploring the world. He takes my breath away with his courage to say yes, his quiet sense of justice and compassion, his quirky sense of humour. And I am so grateful that he calls me Mum.
I’m an initiate in an ancient Lineage of King Salomon from which I have embraced a new definition of discipline and an even deeper calling to Know Myself, serve humanity and work towards world peace
I’m an explorer, a traveller with an insatiable desire to see the world and experience all this planet has to show me. And work with my soul sister at Sacred Explorers to host women’s retreats that foster travel, spiritual growth and deep connection
I’m passionate about words, I love to write and as you’ve already noticed or will soon, cannot keep my posts short…good golly I’d be the worst trying to stick to 140 characters.
I’m a caretaker for the medicine of cacao - a traditional medicine of South and Central America that has been used for generations to help with heart connection. And not only have a personal practice that helps me live in heart coherence I also love hosting cacao communities.
I’m a stone whisperer and crystal healer. During meditation 5 years ago it was made clear to me that I was to step into stone medicine and have since been studying with an ancient Taoist Lineage learning how to listen to the frequency of stones and to connect people to their healing capabilities.

And that is a little bit about me. I’m not so good at shallow level interactions, I love connection, deep, juicy, authentic connection. No talking about the weather, or sports over here for me. If you are in my life, you are in my life…I’ve got you! In fact, in crafting my “Social Media Strategy” I quickly realized that I needed to embrace the art of the blog…so please join my email list as it will be the most intimate way for us to stay connected.

This is a wild time to be on Earth, there is so much going on both globally and in our individual lives. We really are at a time on the planet where we are craving a reset. And this is the work I am here for.

“ I firmly believe that by going inward and understanding ourselves, healing, growing, questioning and making change from a place rooted in love that we can dramatically change the outer world. ”

I recently watched Game of Thrones for the first time…and like all great tales about great battles there is a scene right before the final fight where the characters gather around the fire, share a drink and a song and others sneak off to make love…all of them recognizing that whatever comes next there is an ending of the old and a creation of the new. I believe we are in that time now. And I am committed to keeping the fire going, so that in community, in connection and in devotion to the divine we can sing the new chapter into being.
