THE (R)EVOLUTION BEGINS WITHIN.

We’re in a time of remembering. Of reawakening to truth, power, and possibility. I believe every soul has a role to play and I’d love to tell you about mine.

HI, I'M KAT

& I'M SUNSHINE IN HUMAN FORM

I’ve always been captivated by the space where science meets soul, and where transformation becomes a shared journey. From festivals to sacred circles, I’ve devoted my life to creating spaces that awaken the body, expand the mind, and reconnect us to what truly matters—each other. I’m so glad you’re here. Let me share a little about my path.

MY STORY

I’ve always been drawn to what lives beneath the surface—of people, culture, & consciousness. While others chased certainty, I found myself pulled toward mystery, meaning, and the kind of beauty that can’t be bought or staged.

My path hasn’t been linear, like at all. It’s been a whirling twirling spiral—winding through corporate america, van life, yoga studios, festival fields, grief circles, and boardrooms. Along the way, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it is when people remember who they are and reclaim their voice, body, and purpose.

I created Community Alliance for Psychedelics & Spirituality (CAPS) and Embodied Katalyst to hold space for that remembering. Whether I’m stewarding a global network of psychedelic leaders, holding space for integration, or crafting transformative community experiences, my work is always in service to reconnection—to self, another, and to something greater than us all.

WHY I TEACH?

Teaching, for me, isn’t about transferring knowledge — it’s about stewarding transformation.

We each carry a deep wisdom within us waiting to be reawakened. My role is to help people return to that inner knowing, their bodies innate healing intelligence and community.

I’ve experienced the transformation that happens when we slow down, reconnect to our bodies, and feel safe enough to be seen. The magic lives in witnessing someone come alive in their truth, and I’m here to steward the container where that transformation can unfold in community.

I teach to create spaces where reverence, play and connection can reawaken. Every person I work with becomes a mirror, a teacher, a reminder that this path is never walked alone. I teach to serve, to grow, and to remember — together.

MY VALUES

Be unapologetically you.

I believe that authenticity is medicine and when we live in alignment with our truth, we ripple that freedom out into the world.

My work is rooted in values like radical self-expression, deep integrity, community care, and embodiment. I honor self-care as a revolutionary act and hold space where people can safely explore who they are beneath the noise.

To me, transformation isn’t about becoming someone new — it’s about remembering who you’ve been all along & the courage to be seen. In a world that often asks us to dim our light, I’m here to support the kind of transformation that invites us to shine.

HOW DID I GET HERE?

SOME BACKGROUND OF THE JOURNEY BEFORE THE NOW

From a young age, I was constantly inventing, launching pretend businesses, organizing neighborhood events, and dreaming up new worlds. If you asked my parents what I wanted to be when I grew up, they'd say “the boss” and I cringe a bit just writing that. However to my core what I really am is a leader, a catalyst, and a steward of consciousness.

My relationship with psychedelics began in 2011 and it has been a cornerstone of my healing, transformation and evolution ever since.

I began my career in sales, then moved into a decade-long chapter in corporate marketing and start ups. All the while, I was quietly unraveling and rebuilding — diving deep into mental health, somatics, and spirituality. I got off pharmaceuticals and began studying the science of mental wellness and the art of embodiment.

In 2017, I completed my Yoga Assistant Certification with the Baptiste Institute and became a 200-hour registered yoga teacher. By 2020, I had immersed myself in the study of somatics, Polyvagal Theory, and trauma work with a range of subject matter experts. I completed Yale’s Science of Well-Being program and, in 2021, earned my certificate in Women’s Entrepreneurship from Cornell.

They say when you hear the message, hang up the phone. Well, that wasn't exactly my journey. My response was, "Are you sure you have the right person?!" Eventually, the soul got louder than the script and I decided to take a step into the unknown.

After a decade marketing leadership, I left corporate America to follow a deeper calling into entrepreneurship, psychedelics, and service. I kicked it off by advising a mental wellness nonprofit, The Parachute People, then stepped into a leadership role as a board member and Director of Marketing for the organization — where I pioneered large-scale community experiences at iconic festivals like Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, Hulaween, Same Same But Different, and Elements.

In the heart of the music industry, I curated immersive wellness programming and playful activations that brought thousands together through movement, joy, and connection. These experiences still shape my mission to weave together culture, healing, and community.

In recent years, I deepened my path by founding Community Alliance for Psychedelics & Spirituality in Charlotte, NC. Then, I started training in trauma-informed facilitation with Atria Tan, became a certified sound healer, and received my Reiki Master attunement in 2024.

It’s been a winding, beautiful and nonlinear road— from spreadsheets and brand campaigns to circles, ceremonies, and sacred work.
