Shamanic/Spiritual Counselor

Kathleen’s extensive training equips her with a bounty of techniques to assist those with empowerment issues, depression, chronic illness and who are stuck in old patterns and behaviors. Nothing else ever worked? Alternative approaches can bring a quantum leap into the person you were meant to be.

This gentle healing work for mind-body-spirit concerns, includes: 

• Power Animal retrievals,
• Soul retrievals, reconnection to your own spirit,
• Extraction work, and
• Compassionate Depossession

Kathleen is a graduate of the Western Illinois University (Masters of Education in Counseling), the Foundation for Shamanic Studies (Michael Harner’s School: The Way of the Shaman), and the Lynn Andrews School of the Sacred Art (Lynn Andrews: author, shaman and executive producer of The Sixth Sense). Kathleen later served as a mentor at that school.

She studied Celtic Shamanism with Tom Cowan. Kathleen also completed energetic, nutritional and intuitive studies with Dr. Norm Shealy and Caroline Myss. Shealy, a most well known  and well-published alternative physician, is a neurosurgeon and founder of the American Holistic Medical Society. Myss is a popular author and medical intuitive.
In addition, Kathleen also completed studies at Hippocrates Health Institute, learning Ann Wigmore’s raw food and wheat grass therapy.

Kathleen has worked intimately with Malidoma Some, West African shaman. Her Dagara name is Bi No Noh, meaning “she who assists others in finding their buoyant and unencumbered spirit.”

She is trained in Hakomi therapies, connecting body with emotional well-being. She learned Soul retrieval from Sandra Ingerman. She has worked with Clarissa Pinkoles Estes (author: Women Who Run with the Wolves, Jungian psychotherapist and dream interpreter).

She learned Integrated Awareness and intuitive methods from Consuela Newton.
She assisted John Upledger, D.O. (cranial sacral therapy) during a workshop, serving as his “patient.”

Kathleen was honored to be chosen to participate in Sandra Ingerman’s two year teacher training program, beginning March 2015 and to be completed in October 2016! This will help her to help others at even deeper levels.
