Meet Kate

Hey there! I’m Kate, your ShamanaMama — a bridge between ancient wisdom and modern healing, guiding those ready to transform their deepest wounds into their greatest medicine.

From Hypervigilance to Wholeness: The ShamanaMama Story

Kate lived with a very traumatic childhood - for decades, her body always scanning for danger, never able to truly rest. She tried everything - therapy, yoga, energy work, coaching, dance therapy. Some made things worse, some helped temporarily, but she kept finding herself back in that familiar place of hypervigilance. Her nervous system simply wasn't feeling safe enough to allow lasting change.

But Kate discovered something powerful: when trauma gets stuck in the body, healing must happen at all levels - mind, body, and spirit. What she does now is comprehensive, weaving together gentle inner exploration with shamanic energy medicine and trauma-informed bodywork. After 21 years of searching and training in multiple healing modalities, she healed her decades-long hypervigilance and transformed her life completely. Today, she believes everyone deserves a regulated nervous system and has helped hundreds of people experience this same transformation.

If you've tried multiple healing approaches and still don't feel safe in your own body, know that you're not broken. If you're ready to explore deeper transformation, you just need an approach that works with your nervous system's natural wisdom.

You can't pull yourself up by your bootstraps if you don't have boots. Safety is your boots.

This is why I created the SAFE Process and the Container of Safety - approaches that meet you exactly where you are and guide you through profound transformation. Every technique, every practice, has been tested through my own healing journey and those of hundreds of clients.

At ShamanaMama, we believe that healing is not just possible – it's your birthright. Whether through individual sessions, soul retrieval work, or our growing healing community, we're here to help you remember who you are at a soul level and find your way back to wholeness.

Your trauma may be part of your story, but it doesn't have to define your future. Together, we can transform your deepest wounds into your most powerful medicine.

Welcome to ShamanaMama. Welcome home. 🌺
