Hi! My name is Katie.
I’m a trauma-informed Sacred Tropical Astrologer. I use the Whole House Sign system in my practice. I’m also an ICF-certified Spiritual Life Coach and Avesa Certified Breathwork Practitioner.
My Healing Motto: You deserve it because you are fucking worth it.
My whole life I felt different from those around me. But it wasn’t until I unexpectedly found myself on an intense healing journey in 2019 that I understood why.
What started out as a healing journey from familial narcissistic abuse in 2019 quickly became a spiritual awakening, ignited by my first Saturn Return, and a very intense and deep dark night of the soul.
During this time I regularly found myself on the bathroom floor at 3 AM bawling, heartbroken and confused how I seemingly became an orphan overnight, triggering every abandonment issue and wound I had. But it was in those moments that I found myself completely surrendering to the universe, asking the planets, the sun, and the moon for any and all guidance.
The path that became clear for me to follow started to become more obvious, louder: I needed to heal the best I could and live the best life I could. That was the best revenge for a traumatic childhood.
I threw myself into studying anything and everything about narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, parentification, enmeshment, psychological abuse, sibling bullying, dysfunctional family roles, what it was like to be the blacksheep scapegoat in a family of origin.
I even started coaching as a narcissistic abuse recovery coach because I never wanted anyone to feel as alone as I felt in the months after I pulled the narcissist’s mask off without realizing what I was doing.
The more I learned about personality disorders, psychopaths, sociopaths, and generational trauma, the more I realized just how toxic yet common my childhood was. Well, the parts that I can remember.
You see, I was diagnosed with an alphabet stew in 2019 from a trauma-therapist that included CPTSD. For me, this means that I don’t remember a lot of my childhood due to the high levels of trauma I experienced.
For a while, this left me feeling quite debilitated and fragile. I was stuck in victim mentality where I believed the external world was required to soften and tiptoe on eggshells so as to not trigger me. And I was sooo angry.
But then, as luck would have it, I found myself accidentally in front of two powerful spiritual leaders: Wisdom Teacher Sri Ram Kaa and Master Lady Oracle Kira Raa.
Their message? Your ego wants you to stay stuck in victim mentality because it doesn’t like change, it’s afraid of the unknown. But the minute you take a leap of faith forward and it goes well? Your ego will be first in line to take credit for your growth.
Their message – although new and a bit triggering initially – was all I could think about. So in addition to traditional therapy, I started paying closer attention to the cycles of the Moon and began practicing rituals during the New Moon and Full Moon. I practiced cord-cutting meditations, I practiced the ho’oponopono, living water, anything and everything I could really to release the trauma, the anger, the shame, and pain, so that I could move forward from a place of love, particularly self love.
And you know what? I felt A LOT better. The more I connected with nature, the elements, the planets, water, the more I danced in the sun, and found gratitude and happiness in the flowers and trees, the better I felt. So I kept going, learning more, including these powerful healing rituals into my daily life.
My path led me to astrology. A topic I’ve always been interested in, but never quite understood. I started studying my natal chart and I was blown away at just how much information in my chart felt familiar.
Even more powerful was the realization that understanding my natal chart was key to allowing my true authentic self to step forward because I had less judgment about who I was at my core now that I saw the map to my soul.
I didn’t feel the need to act or show up in ways I used to because I had a better understanding and appreciation of my unique nature.
I would be honored to help you find that same level of self love, acceptance, and understanding.
