Originally from the Central Coast NSW and working the majority of her early career in Sydney, Kathy relocated to Far North QLD in 2012 where she followed her heart to live on a remote and isolated off grid property on the furthest remote reaches of the Daintree Rainforest.
Here life took her on an extended soul quest and dark night of the soul which developed her stronger communion with country, land medicine, and during which time her connection to ancestral medicine developed.
During this period of time a deepened empathy and experience of our human's existence and walk with grief grew after 2 miscarriages and then traveling back to her original home town of the Central Coast to be a carer for a period of time for her mother after a brain aneurism, and then also her father as he deteriorated from a lengthy journey with Parkinson's Disease (at different times) and then being with her beloved father as he transitioned from life to death in 2018.
In 2019 Kathy's motherhood journey began with the birth of her daughter Lilly Star.
And in 2023 after a traumatic separation from her daughters dad, Kathy was assisted to leave the remote jungle bush camp and move to Cairns where she now lives with her young daughter.
After taking a break for the next level of self healing throughout 2024 (for herself and her daughter), Kathy now continues her commitment to offering sacred events to support the body, heart and soul of women live in Cairns and is expanding to offer online events to support women who live afar or cannot attend in person.
Her offerings include:
Sacred Women's Circles. Dance Medicine Journeys. Grief Circle & Ceremony. Laughter Giggleshops. Holistic Business Women's Circles.

Sharing deep listening, witnessing and also intuitive trust, guidance and energy/ancestral medicine (plus she is also totally human with all our normal human flaws and continuously on the journey to better herself).
