HEALING IS NATURAL

With a heartfelt goal to assist all beings, KATYBEAR'S path into traditional Shamanism began, unbeknownst to her, at a very young age, with a father who silently passed on to her the feel of mother earth, the energetic exchange of touch, and respect for all creatures. This young capability to communicate and feel nature, humans, spirits and all of the patterns affecting us, increased her intense desire to master many healing crafts. With massive study, self - searching to understand her part, and numerous self-healings; she was introduced to culturally diverse living teachers and spiritual guides. Her evolution into becoming a traditional Shaman was facilitated during an intensive ceremony which included vision quest, death and re-creation of her own systems; and vows which guide her daily. Although KATYBEAR is truly traditional in many methodologies, her native roots are honored often. (tribe: Monacan) She often declares to others that all living beings are her tribe. Earning a degree in Human services, from the University of Tennessee, as a counselor for people in the correctional system; she found many courses to give structure to her awareness and feelings. Honing in on her talents has not stopped since. As a teacher and facilitator she has enjoyed over forty years in the healing arts practices.
