Hi! I'm Kate - an intuitive, medicine woman, and guide for embodied Presence

I care with every fiber of my being that you, a creature of soul and soil, are trying to thrive in systems not designed for you. Where ancient wounds of disconnect, inherited traumas, and misalignments with our over-culture leave you feeling out of place, too much, or like a canary in the mine, I see invitations back deeper into your own aliveness; vital next steps to a wiser, more relational future. Let’s navigate your big questions and transitions together. I’ll support you living meaningfully in this world even though you may feel like you were designed for a different one. I’ll keep you orienting to the truth, heart, and essential wholeness of who you are at the edge of great joy and when you need your feet held to the fire of your own journey. You can see what I offer: www.wildsacredjourney.com and sign up to get a little bit of me, direct to your inbox!

on 'laziness' and climbing mountains

Dear ones - We each have a fire within us. And we need our fire in these times, perhaps more than ever. What if your fear of being seen as lazy is wasting your fire and contributing to your burnout? And what if what we’ve been taught to consider as laziness is our body and brain trying to recalibrate back to more sustainable cycles of efforting and rest? Your desire to contribute and make a difference is a genuine and beautiful thing… and when it gets entangled with (often unconscious and...

Dear ones - I just wanted to drop you a note in the wake of the US election and the heightened emotions and stress many people are feeling right now. A reminder: What you are feeling is ok, and probably a healthy response. To respond as if under threat when you are under threat is good. It's not sustainable. Nor does it do much to create a new world. But for now, feel the feels. Breathe. Hydrate. Get out into Nature. Gather and grieve together. Touch solid things like trees. Gently pet your...

Dear ones - Here's our November overview email with: a tarot card for our little collective for the month; today’s New Moon podcast episode; and upcoming events/ ways to work with me. Tarot card for November: Wildwood Tarot by Mark Ryan, John Matthews, and Will Worthington I always encourage folks who get my readings to look at the card themselves first and notice what comes up in their bodies. What emotions or sensations are stirred? What thoughts and stories seem to pop to mind? What do you...

Dear ones - Have you heard the expression: “the veil is thin”? And do you have an experience of what that means? This bonus episode is in honor of what the Celtic culture would call Samhain (though plenty of cultures around the world have other celebrations at this time of year honoring the ancestors and marking this moment of the thinning veil). In this episode, you’ll hear me muse on: what I think a “thin veil” means; where this particular season fits into the larger seasonal cycles and...

Hello, dear ones - “My life has changed so much for the better and I keep trying to tell everyone I know about you… but I don’t really know how to describe it or say what you do… so I just tend up telling them they have to go see my witchy healer medicine person, Kate.” Many of you who’ve worked with me have said things like this over the years. Some of you reading this might remember hosting me in your house for a little get-together with those friends; so I could lead them through a guided...

Dear ones - Have you experienced the grief of wondering whether your life, whether YOU, have any purpose? Only to try thing after thing while seeking your purpose; ultimately ending up more uncertain and confused? And burned out now on top of it? You’re not alone. This episode is in response to a listener who wrote to me after listening to my Episode 49 on Wellness World Pitfalls if we’re not including shadow work. She was drawing some connection between what she heard in my episode and an...

Dear ones - It's the beginning of a new month so here's our October overview email - complete with a tarot card for our little collective for the month. Tarot card for October: Shadowscapes Tarot by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law and Barbara Moore I always encourage folks who get my readings to look at the card themselves first and notice what comes up in their bodies. What emotions or sensations are stirred? What thoughts and stories seem to pop to mind? What do you find yourself repelled by or drawn...

Dear ones - This email is coming to you only a day after I arrived back in Scotland - a return journey which in many ways began almost immediately after I left last year. Some places take a hold of you, get in under your skin and into your bones more deeply than you would ever have imagined. This is that place for me. At least for now. snacking on wild blackberries while foraging along the Fife Coastal Path - photo by Jack Benedetto My body is needing plenty of rest after all the travel and...

Dear ones - Did you see the email or my video on YouTube and social media from last week, talking about how safety isn’t the same as sanctuary and protection isn’t the same as refuge? I’m curious - what do you think of my thoughts there? And what does sanctuary mean to you? What does it feel like in your body? Do you know it when you feel it? One of my favorite parts of our last cohort of Sanctuary was exploring what the word meant to us over the course of the six months we gathered. It...

Happy Autumn Equinox! A time to wrap up the season of abundance and harvest our final goodness before entering into the darker season of the year. Our modern cultures often view things like progress as being very linear. One of the side effects of this is swinging between extremes like a pendulum - in the case of cycles of burnout, we swing between being full on and being shut down… with very little space in between. But our long-ago ancestors understood cycles very differently, in part...
