Mastering of the egoic mind is true liberation.

Hi I’m katy. I am an English woman living in Lisbon, Portugal. I’m an embroiderer and have a fascination with all things food & healing. In 2020, I became very sick with an autoimmune issue, ptsd, leaky gut and an emotional overload after owning & working in very stressful hospitality environments. It left me unable to walk up hills, aching all over, I couldn’t lie or sit without my body feeling as though I was on a ship in bad weather, I had brain fog, and little energy. My heart would palpitate often and I was having severe anxiety and panic attacks.

My mood was so low some days I couldn’t imagine life as joyful anymore.

As someone who has always had an interest in Ayurvedic food principals and Chinese medicine I began to follow the protocols of both, focusing on my digestive system & gut health, often adding adaptogenic herbs and medicinal mushrooms to the mix. I never once went to a western doctor through any of this time, choosing holistic practitioners instead and my own ancestral food knowledge that the women before me had gifted me.

I noticed, as I had cut out sugar, gluten, meat, alcohol and coffee that I then became super sensitive to what felt good and what didn’t in my system. Certain foods, especially fermented ones, would help me have clarity, and for a short period I could imagine my life changing and things getting better. Eventually (it took two years), following a strict protocol, meditation, movement, cleansing foods, time in nature, & working with the mind and psychedelics, I am now 100% better. In fact I am healthier than ever. So eventually, after training with Rita Hraiz in Shamanic Knowledge and Esoteric Wisdom. I decided to begin being guided by sacred plants. After listening to them for over 5 years now, my work is to guide people to understand their own healing power using these powerful plant allies.

All my LOVE

Katy
