Episode 1

My name is Katie. I am an energy healer, artist, music, animal and nature lover. I am on a journey of coming home to myself, remembering who I am and what I love, what truly brings me joy. Sometimes I have things I want to share with nobody in particular so I came to the internet. About 2 years ago, my health was declining, my relationship was falling apart, I was trying to start a new career path and things were not going well for me at all. After being shuffled around from specialist to specialist to no avail, I turned to google to try to help myself get better. I of course came across many, many things to diagnose myself with as one does when searching for answers to medical problems. I seemed to fit all of the symptoms for a histamine intolerance or mast cell disorder. I ordered a book by Dr. Becky Campbell called “The 4 Phase Histamine Reset” and when I tell you this book changed my life, I mean that it saved me without a doubt. I followed the plan to a T and I got my health and life back in order. I am forever grateful to have had that book placed in front of me by the grace of God. I could write for pages and pages about that part of my journey but that’s not what this is really about so I will spare you the details.

I was extremely unhappy in my life, even if I didn’t totally realize it at the time, repeating cycles and not seeing the lessons in front of my face. Looking back, getting so sick was the thing that started me down the path I’m on now so it was probably the best thing that could have happened for me. I was so tired of not feeling good and being around so much negativity constantly. I was drinking pretty heavily at the time and I knew something needed to change. I had plans to move from my hometown to live closer to my parents (and the ocean) once my youngest son was 18 and able to stand on his own two feet. I had hoped both of my kids would want to move with me but they ended up staying back in Wisconsin. They are both forging their paths in life and doing a great job I might add. They did not have the easiest of childhoods and I am extremely proud of the adults they’ve grown in to. While I had these plans to move for quite some time, I had not intended to move alone. As I mentioned, my relationship was falling apart but I held out hope for a long time that we could come back together and things would end up working out for us. Spoiler alert, I ended up moving alone. When I said I knew something needed to change, I didn’t realize at the time that literally everything in my life was going to change.

I had been certified in Reiki many years prior but had not practiced in almost as many years. Things in my life had taken a sideways turn as a young adult and my reiki practice went out the window. On my journey to heal my physical body I decided to start looking back into practicing Reiki again although I can’t remember what gave me the idea. I would say now that it was intuition or divine guidance giving me a nudge but I wasn’t using terms like that at the time! Restarting a Reiki practice for myself led my down the research rabbit hole of energy healing in general where I discovered Donna Eden and her book “Energy Medicine” . I ended up signing up for the Mindvalley app to take her energy “quest” she offered through the app. If you’re not familiar with Mindvalley, all of the programs are called quests on the app. Being on the Mindvalley app opened up a whole’s new world for me of meditation, manifesting, looking at my thought programs, and belief systems. I have a tendency to lean into things with my whole self, all or nothing type of girl and I was all in for this. I started meditating, learning how to talk to spirit guides, doing energy work and really just trying to learn as much as I could about what my purpose is here on earth and how to manifest it into my life. I eventually came across Oliver Nino aka The Spiritual Activator. I read his books “Spiritual Activator” and “Do This Before Bed”, joined his energy healing circle and then signed up for Geo University which I am now level 1 certified in with level 2 and 3 still to come. I absolutely love this method of energy healing and it has strengthened me tremendously as a channel for energy already. I can’t wait to see what’s to come in levels 2 and 3. I have been able to heal and release so many blocks in myself and others, and I learn something new with every session I do. It continues to amaze and delight me every single time.

I have always known from a very young age that the way we live life seems wrong to me and I was not put on this planet to work a 9-5, pay bills, taxes, and die. I felt like I had finally found something to help me figure it all out. I had read “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne when I was younger and several other spiritual self help books. I put some things into practice for a short time, around the same time I had gotten certified in Reiki. I had started down this road all of those years ago, but ended up severely off path until now. As I began my healing and transformation journey, clearing blocks and releasing limiting beliefs, I began to notice all of the things around me that needed to change or go from my life. It was like my eyes were opened for the first time and I could see the repeating cycles that I needed to break to level up in my life. It was pretty wild to start to recognize the things in myself that were allowing these things to be happening in my life. It was definitely not an easy ride in the beginning. I let go of everyone in my life. I started to type everyone in my life that wasn’t ready to go on this journey with me but that’s not entirely accurate. I don’t need everyone in my life to be on the same journey as me but I do need them to be supportive, positive, and uplifting. I felt surrounded by negativity constantly and people that were afraid of my changing because they were afraid of our relationship changing. I wanted to evolve, expand my consciousness and grow, and I felt like I couldn’t do that with the people around me so I let go of everyone in my life with the exception of my kids and some of my family. I needed to find out who I am, what I like, and what I’m doing here. It seemed I needed to do that mostly alone. I am still doing it mostly alone, by my choice. I have done so much work already and I’m learning more about myself every day. I like having this time to just be with me and my cats lol. I want to cater to me and nobody else at this time in my life. I’m not interested in hanging around with people just for the sake of not being alone. I very much enjoy being alone, a lot more than I enjoy meaningless small talk or listening to people talk/complain/gossip about things I have no interest in. I read books, listen to audiobooks and podcasts, watch programs on Gaia, I paint and play the piano. I cook fresh food, listen to music and dance around my house, work with my energy, take salt baths, sit in my infrared sauna. I go for walks next to the ocean or ground myself with my favorite tree outside my house. I meditate and am learning to sit in stillness which is definitely new and a little challenging at times for me!

Now I’ve been given a little intuitive nudge to start sharing my journey so here I am, sharing my journey! It’s sometimes messy, sometimes emotional, sometimes weird, lovely and fun. There’s ups and downs and straight lines sometimes. I may not always make sense and go off track in my stories, back and forth in my timelines, but my promise to myself and to you is to be as honest and authentic in sharing my journey as I can be. I have set an intention that this will reach the people it’s meant to reach and if it helps even one person to read it, I’m happy to have shared it.

With so much love,

Katie
