The Heart Center


When I worked as a cardiac nurse, the hustle and bustle of the unit was my life. I loved the constant movement, challenge, and learning every day. Patients were in and out for angiograms, ablations, stents, pacemakers, AICDs, and angioplasty . I also worked with general medical-surgical patients, but cardiac patients were by far my favorite. The heart is the most amazing organ, the most resilient in all of our body systems. Patients would come back from procedure better than before and be able to go home the next day.

 I started as a nurse tech, watching the cardiac monitors for the nurses. The hearthas certain rhythms that it follows, and changes are detectible immediately on the monitor. Although, sometimes, the monitors didn't give a clear picture and show arrhythmias when the patient was perfectly fine, or the patient would be in distress and the monitor wasn't showing it. Our motto was, "Watch the patient, not the monitor".

In Lynne McTaggart's book The Intention Experiment she talks about Heart Math and their research into the intuition of the heart. They found that the heart senses and receives information before the brain does, and then communicates it to the brain. The heart sends neurotransmitters, or chemicals that communicate, to the brain that influence higher thought.

 I have found this working with people and their Energy systems. The heart tells a clear story about the person I am working with, which can contrast what their external "monitor" shows. We can spend a lot of energy covering up what the heartknows, but like the patient who is in distress and the monitor shows that he is fine, the heart doesn't lie.

 So what makes a healthy heart center? If you had asked my hospital patients, they would have said less stress, more free time, and the ability to change things in their lives that seemed unchangeable. If you ask my clients, I think they would say the same thing. The heart is the center of intuition and knows and speaks to us about the direction we want our lives to take. It houses our deep inner voice. We can trust its resilience and ability to lead us down the path we most want to take.

The Path of the Wounded Healer

When my friend Mary first said this phrase described me, I wasn't sure how to respond. I had seen the  image of this path  in Alex Gray's book Sacred Mirrors, and had been trying to put into words what it is like to experience trauma again and again. She and I were working on an 8 week distance healing course about healing dark energy, and everything she had presented up to that time I had either experienced, or had a client or friend who had. When she asked me to count the traumas in my life, I needed more than two hands to add them up. Basically this path is a difficult one for a soul to choose. I had often wondered why my soul would pick a path like this, complete with losses I couldn't prevent and situations I had no control over. I had traumas spanning from age 3 to age 40. As we filled in the blanks, it was apparent that I needed to do some deep healing, if I was going to get past the turning point in my life. I was, true to form, having my midlife crisis

How Does Energy Healing Work?

Intuitive Consulting  is a consult to discover core issues that prevent complete healing of body, mind, and spirit.  These issues come to the surface after 30-45 minutes of discussion.   Katie traces overall patterns that link pieces of your journey together, and will  create a  Connected Wellness Plan   for you, which outlines steps to take for health, harmony, and healing. There are four energy layers around the body, the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual or astral layer.   Traumas, pain, and other physical, emotional, and spiritual issues cause blocked or stagnant energy to form and get stuck in the energy field. Katie follows the wisdom of her hands in  Energy Healing .   She works above the body in the Energy field unless there is a physical issue, where she uses light touch.   Clients lie comfortably on a massage table, fully clothed during treatments. Energy Clearing  moves blocked or stagnant energy though the layers of the energy field.  Chakras (energy
