Katie is here as a steward and protector of the Lineage of Light

Katie has been a passionate and dedicated yoga practitioner for more than 14 years and has been teaching since 2012. Katie was guided onto the mat from a therapist that she worked with in her early twenties. She had been suffering with anxiety, depression and sleeping problems off and on throughout her teenage years and early twenties. At the end of her first practice, in savasana, tears ran down her face, she exhaled, and felt stillness in her nervous system for the first time since she could remember, this was the beginning of her healing journey, her relationship to yoga, and becoming a friend to herself and her body. 

She took her first teacher training in 2012 in Dallas, Texas. Following her training, she moved to the Caribbean island of St. Thomas to pursue her dream of opening a paddle board yoga company and yoga studio that held and served the island community.

She tended these businesses which were her babies for many years. During that time she was called deeper into her studies and her own healing. Her love of yoga and desire for deeper spiritual connection and a lineage to walk with took her to India where she trained to teach Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow, a combination of the traditional Ashtanga practice and a more contemporary Flow style.  In India, she also had the privilege to meet her Spiritual teacher Rishi Sudhir of Tiruvannamalai, with decades of experience and a depth of Vedic knowledge. Katie continued to dive deeper into her spiritual path traveling and studying in Bali, Peru, Guatemala, Mexico, and the jungles of the Amazon where she sat with and met the master plant teachers which have been the most profound guides and stewards of her consciousness. Katie would return many times to Peru to continue her work with the plants, her teachers and eventually would bring groups of her students here to study with her teachers. This was the beginning of Katie’s retreat facilitation work which continues and has expanded to many other locations internationally. During this time, while running the studio Katie was introduced to Breathwork. In particular, Breathwork as taught by David Elliott. It was under his guidance and support that she began the deepest healing work of her life. Reclaiming and remembering that the power to heal thyself is within. David teaches a powerful, transformational, form of holotropic Breathwork held in a sacred ceremonial container. This work allowed Katie to start to work with the deepest parts of her nervous system, completing ancient trauma vortex’s that had been impacting her for many years. Breathwork is an active meditation technique that somatically purges stuck energy and trauma from the body. It has been, hands down, the most profound tool for her healing and awakening. 

Following her time in Peru, the plants guided Katie to Guatemala. It was in the highlands of Guatemala, studying Cacao, that she found her way to Mariu Gobbato and Dona Dominga, an elder traditional maya midwife and Mariu, a Guatemalan midwife, healer, and Mother who had devoted her life to working with the indigenous women and midwives to preserve their wisdom and teachings. Her immersion in the Mayan highlands brought her to her knees, she became witness to many of the aspects of the disempowered feminine that lived inside of her and the collective. She began a deep dive into unearthing the consciousness of her womb, peeling back the layers of trauma and sexual oppression. Through her own journey of pre-conception, she was guided to understand the imprinting of consciousness and the essential shift that is needed for humanity to survive on this Earth. We have spent generations imprinting our lineages with the energy and imprint of Control. The medical establishment came in over 250 years ago and implemented an even stronger imprint of control and oppression of the blue print of consciousness. In order to unpack and unravel the threads of her lineage, she was taken on a journey across the United States to make offerings of her blood to the leylines her lineage entered the Earth plane on. As she sat on these leylines, she was able to open connection to the ancestors that came before and those yet to come, it was in this space that she received a direct channeled download of how to complete and clear lineage patterns and traumas to free up the space to re-grid the consciousness of the lineage line to receive the crystaline consciousness of divinity into form rather than welcoming in souls needing karmic completions. She has been being guided by the unseen to shamanically clear the distortions from her linage and has been taught how to hold the space for others to do the same. We are at a pivotal time on this planet, the awakening is imminent and if we want this planet and humanity to exist harmoniously and thrive we must be the catalyst to return to blue print to return to nature, and to anchor our lineages rooted in a healed, whole, union that is in service to the divine. Katie’s work is in deep service and devotion to this vision, sovereign liberated families devoted to creating Heaven on Earth. She studied internal yoni massage, embodied emotional release, and Maya Abdominal Massage, immersed in a Maya midwifery training for 5 months, and a 26 moon immersive Doula Program rooted in understanding the multidimensionality of conception and birth.

Through a deep dive into relationship with initiated women, her own womb, and the volcanic lake that is a portal to liberation Katie began to remember who she truly was. There was no specific practice, no healer, it was a willingness to die to all that she thought she was to allow creation to breathe new life into her. From this place, Katie serves, holds, and witnesses other women birth themselves into wholeness. She believes this work cannot be done alone, that we must walk together, hand in hand, remembering the power of who we truly are.
