Healing through the breath to uncover your light
We are co-creators with the Universe.
We're always searching for something tangible: how do I actually feel supported by the universe, by Mother Earth, by my ancestors? Energy work brings that co-creation into your body, so you feel it, not just think it. In shamanic practice, healing moves through the breath to uncover the light that has been dimmed through our modern life, corporate job, or living the life that someone else set out for us.
You can understand a pattern perfectly and still repeat it. Energy work gives you a soul knowing, one you can remember and live from in the moment it matters.
Talk therapy has its place. This work reaches somewhere else.
Put down what you've been carrying to discover the light within.
Energy work meets you where the mind can't. It engages your body, your spirit, and the threads that connect you to something larger, meeting trauma at every layer:
- What was passed down through your family line
- What your ancestors carried
- What you've lived through yourself
- What may come from lifetimes before this one
And beyond healing, it makes room to dream: a soul-led life where your gifts shine through and you share what you came here to share.
Where I like to start first... Human Design
In your first session we will discuss your Human Design before we go through The Illumination Process. Human Design is about energy and when you are in alignment, you can have a lot of it. It takes aspects from 4 modalities: Western Astrology, Kabbalah Book of Life, I-Ching (64 Gifts of Humanity) and the Chakra system. Human Design puts into words things you probably thought about, but never really said out loud. I find that knowing your Human Design leads to self-acceptance and self-love.
There are 4 different types of energy in the world. Generators with a sub-category of Manifesting Generators, Projectors, Manifestors and Reflectors. Human Design is the Science of Differentiation. What makes me different than any of you. What is also great about this modality is that you can test it.
Important things to know about when it comes to Human Design
- It is a map of you without conditioning. Your gifts that were given to you 3 months before you were born, the gifts you chose in this world, your profile, your life's theme and purpose and more.
- It can tell you how you make decisions when its removed from your brain which is your Authority. Human Design puts the decision making back into your intelligent body.
- It can tell you how you make things happen which is your Strategy. This can be the frustrating part, especially when we live in a world that says you need to go out and get what you want. If you are Generator or Manifesting Generator, we are meant to wait to respond. Or if you are a Projector, you need to wait to be invited.
Healing through the Breath
The Illumination Process
1.
Name what you're ready to release
We choose one issue, limiting belief, or question to work with, like "is this my purpose?"
2.
Breathe it into the stone
You choose a stone from my mesa and breathe into it what the issue feels like, the emotions tied to it, and where you feel it in your body.
3.
Find where it's held
I use the stone with my pendulum to see which chakras the issue is blocking and check your auric field. I open sacred space. With your field's permission, I open it and begin with the lowest blocked chakra.
4.
Breathe it out
You breathe deeply while I draw out the dense energy and release it into the flame. Your body may shake, tingle, cry, or need to make sound. This is a safe space to let it move. This process allows your body to process the issue and let it go.
5.
Illuminate
Once the lowest affected chakra is cleared, you can return to normal breathing while I illuminate the lowest chakra with golden light and balance all chakras. The whole chain is brought back into harmony.
6.
Integrate
We close your field and talk through what came up, including any visions or inner knowing. How much releases depends on how ready you are; for some it takes more than one session.

If the soul part does not want to come back, I will retrieve what the person needs to do to be able to have them reunite.

In their words
I went into my first illumination with Cat carrying a deep fear around channeling. I was unsure what was possible, but hopeful. What unfolded was pure magic.
Cat helped me uncover that the dense energy was held in my jaw as an energetic knot that had been silencing the truth wanting to move through me. The fear itself was the affinity that needed to be released to fully step into my gifts. As the energy cleared, I could feel vibration flowing through my entire jaw and body.
Since that day, my psychic gifts have fully awakened. My clairaudience is clear, my intuition flows effortlessly, and the fear is gone. I feel awe, peace, and presence and my work as a coach has deepened in the most beautiful way.
Cat is a true medicine woman. She is someone I trust, respect, and revere. This experience was absolutely life-changing.

Illumination session
My experience with Cat’s shamanic healing sessions has been truly transformative. From the very first session, Cat helped me uncover and release energetic blocks in my throat and sacral chakras, illuminating long-held patterns of people-pleasing and self-abandonment that had dimmed my joy and vitality. Her intuitive insight helped me see how deeply these patterns were tied to my ability to speak up and honor my own needs, and i couldn’t believe how spot on she was about so many things I was too stuck to realize or shift on my own.
Over the course of our following sessions, Cat guided me through powerful energy clearings that felt like following the threads of my energy body—each spiral and shift opening space for more release, clarity, and self-connection. The culmination of our work together was a Soul Retrieval session, where she reconnected me with lost parts of my Soul, my gifts, and spirit animal. The experience was profound, joyful, and deeply empowering.
I now feel lighter, clearer, and more aligned as I move forward on my path. Cat holds an incredibly safe, grounded, and loving space for transformation—balancing compassion with an empowering encouragement not to stay small or live in fear. Her presence and skill allowed me to release old heaviness and step into a fuller expression of myself. I am deeply grateful for her work and highly recommend her to anyone seeking authentic healing and soul reconnection.

Soul journey
We recently were fortunate to have Cat come to our workspace for an energy cleansing. The space had always felt off to us, and we had a history with the former owners that was fraught, so we really needed help. She invoked the 4 directions and the spirits, entreating them to invite anything negative to depart. The space received a thorough saging and also a palo Santo treatment, and then she led us in the building of an offering that we took home to burn. Since she came, we can feel the difference. We are able to focus more clearly and feel much more welcome in the space. Cat has a grounded presence and we feel she is a wonderful resource for anyone needing shamanic support. We are so glad to have found her!

Space clearing
Testimonial: 5 out of 5 stars! Experiencing Cat’s shamanic work has been nothing short of transformative. I’ve had the privilege of receiving two illuminations with her, each one opening space for deep healing and release. Even through Zoom, her presence and medicine carry profound power.
With grace, compassion, and ancient wisdom, she guided me through releasing long-held trauma and the anxiety that had rooted itself in my body. I’m deeply grateful for her gift, her work is potent, heart-centered, and truly sacred. If you’re ready to release what no longer serves you and return home to yourself, I can’t recommend her enough.

There are worlds that exist beyond our 5 senses. Most of us spend our entire lives asleep, never tapping into what is beyond and never truly knowing who we are. Cat was able to break open parts of me that lie hidden in the dark for decades. She connected me to my ancestors and to a higher power, revealing my true purpose. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking to know themselves and live an authentically meaningful life. She is the real deal. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. You won’t regret it!

I wanted to reach out and say thank you for working with me and helping me, I can’t tell you how much you have helped me and changed my path! For once in my life I feel like I am in a really good place, I’m using all the tools you gave me for anxiety and people pleasing etc…I also joined a church and am volunteering as a greeter and helping a group provide for homeless shelters etc….just helping others in need fills my cup 🥰
