Hi, I’m Katie Sutherland.

Although I have been training in the healing arts, energy medicine and deep embodiment practices for over 20 years, I have learned that life itself is the medicine and the greatest teacher of all when I surrender to her healing journey.


I received support from many wonderful facilitators on my path, however the real healing took hold when I started to do the healing work for myself.

When I began to own that only I could heal this and there was no one else who could do it for me, my entire paradigm shifted, and that was deeply reflected in my outer experience as well. 

 

Just like when a mother gives birth: You can have people supporting you while you birth but only YOU can birth your baby, your creative project, your life’s path, your healing etc.

It is my honor to be an ally for you in reclaiming your power and your magic, and remembering that all the answers, the beauty, the peace, the fulfillment… is all to be found inside of you. Let me help you tap into your INNER WISDOM

 

It brings me such joy to share the empowering tools of energy medicine practices, intention setting, ritual and ceremony, combined with my decades of experience in holistic wellness coaching and somatic healing, to help anchor you back to that Truth on a day-to-day basis.

My journey:

I am an energy medicine healer, teacher and holistic wellness practitioner who supports people, especially mothers, to thrive, reclaim their empowerment, and tap into the inner wisdom of their body & spirit while navigating the journey of every day life.

I have dedicated the past two decades to collecting and cultivating a wide range of tools and wisdom to support others on the path home to their inherent wholeness, wellbeing, and freedom.

My travels around the world along with my studies in the wisdom traditions and healing arts have kindled in me a deep passion for offering rituals, circles and mentorship support to honor rites of passage in women’s lives.

My journey has led me from a sheltered upbringing, growing up in a suburban area in the San Francisco East Bay, to having a spiritual awakening through exploring several paths including yoga, energy medicine, shamanic ceremony, trauma healing, embodiment practices, sacred sensuality and being part of a women’s mystery school.

I began teaching yoga in 2002, practicing massage therapy in 2003 and became a holistic health educator that same year. I went on to immerse herself in studying several modalities that support deep embodiment, including advanced craniosacral therapy, trauma resolution, Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy™, Holistic Pelvic Care™, and well over 1000 hours of training in various bodywork, transformational development courses with COR Experience™ & energy work modalities. I have devotedly continued to build a vast wellspring of knowledge and insight that I draw from in working with my students and clients.

Birth As A Sacred Rite of Passage:

In 2011, I had a powerful initiatory experience through the birth of my beloved daughter. It was one of the most intensely challenging rites of passage in my life, yet held an important key in the awakening of my greater purpose, and was a catalyst for much of the transformational work I now share in empowering and supporting other mothers.

Through the experience, it became crystal clear to me how important it is to tend to the birthing container as a sacred and intentional space. I realized through the painful sequence of events that unfolded when these elements were not present at my daughter's birth, that these subtle yet important aspects may impact whether a mother or her child will incur trauma.

A birthing mother goes into a state of expanded consciousness and heightened intuition during childbirth, and a portal is opened for deep personal as well as ancestral healing. Without the setting of a clear container and unified intention for all those present, this opportunity for healing can potentially be lost.

My challenging birth experience and my subsequent journey of healing and integration, lit a fire in me to be a champion for a paradigm shift around the reclamation of the sacredness of birthing and ultimately walking the sacred path in my daily life.

I went on to have a very empowering experience with the birth of her son two and a half years later, and witnessed how the inner work I had done created a dramatically different experience: one of deep reclamation and restoration.

A large part of the healing and empowerment that I experienced through this second birth experience was as a result of energy medicine practices, intention setting, ritual and ceremony. The transformational support of other women through being a participant and later a facilitator of women’s circles for the past decade has also been an inestimable blessing on my path.

My work now brings forth a powerful combination of the tools, practices and wisdom that I have witnessed catalyze life-changing results in the lives of so many women.
