SHAMANIC TRAINING

Two years of shamanic study with Dhyani Ywahoo a Cherokee Lineage holder.  Katelyn is a PeaceKeeper in the Tslagi Tradition.  The purpose of The Peace Keeper Mission is to bring forth a most great peace in the hearts of the people and the Earth. The Peace Keeper Training offers the opportunity to align with one’s life purpose, that one may manifest one’s gifts in harmony with the building elements of life in oneself and the planetary biosphere. Peacekeepers learn to perceive the patterns of mind-emotion and to clarify the stream, that our actions may bring abundance and harmony for all beings.

Three years of study with Americo Yabar, a shaman from Peru.  She was initiated as a mesa carrier in the Peruvian medicine wheel tradition of the 4 directions. As in all shamanic traditions the Peruvian wisdom is about taking back your power and working with other dimensional realities.   No matter how ‘domesticated’ we may have become, we all have a sense of this wildness within us—a freedom that is the essence of creation.  When we speak of salka, we are speaking of a power derived from beauty, aliveness, grace, and a readiness to encounter life with our whole being.

Three years of study with LuzClara, a Medicine Woman in Chile.. After many years of apprenticeship and initiation in the United States and in South America, I became a Kultrun drum carrier and sound healer in the Mapuche tradition. The Kultrun is a wooden bowl (feminine shape) animal hide drum. It is a “living” symbol of the womb and regenerative healing available through the Earth Mother and Divine Feminine.

MIND-BODY MEDICINE STUDIES

Katelyn has professional and advanced certification in Mind-Body Medicine from the Center for Mind Body Medicine.  Mind-body medicine is based on the scientific understanding of the inextricable connection among our thoughts, sensations and feelings, and our mind, body, and spirit – between ourselves and the social and natural world in which we live. CMBM’s approach to wellness is grounded in practical, evidence-based skills for self-care, nutrition, self-awareness, and group support.
Mind-body skills (such as meditation, biofeedback, guided imagery, and self-expression in drawings, words, and pictures) are scientifically validated to reduce stress and restore physical and psychological health. The mind-body approach heals individual trauma and builds community-wide resilience.

NETWORK MARKETING

Katelyn has been involved in network marketing since 2005

Katelyn has been an entrepreneur since she was a child and has always had a business as part of her career.  She has created a successful network marketing business with It Works Global, was one of the Top 100 Income Earners in 2012 and has a team of over 85,000 distributors and customers. 

She has been a student of metaphysics for many years and as well as alternative health and nutrition. Katelyn lives by the Law of Attraction and Law of Allowing.  She studied sound healing with internationally known sound healer, Jonathan Goldman and studied the sound healing tradition of the Machi of Chile.  

Katelyn loves to travel and has traveled to Mexico, Chile, Austria and Bali to further her art career and spiritual studies.  She is currently studying the Mische technique, an oil technique used by the Renaissance masters, with Philip Rubinov-Jacobson.
