Catherine (Kate)'s Story

Colonel White. Ohio State - did the obligatory partying and playing my guitar and singing in coffee shops. Majored in Landscape Horticulture - first woman to graduate from the department. The world at large was not ready for a woman landscaper, however, which led me to Colorado (76) and into herbology and natural healing. My dad passed away shortly after in September of 76. I was accepted to Naturopathic College in Oregon, but ended up not going due to finances. Did a Country Western phase instead (lots of fun...) and then joined Peace Corps (81). Went to the Philippines and met and married ex-husband, another volunteer. We worked in Agro-forestry trying to re-establish some rainforest. Came home, got pregnant with Kellin Eli, now 26, moved to Coeur DÁlene, ID for three years (82-85) then back to Boulder. While in Idaho I got a job as a Psych Tech and loved the field, so when I returned to Boulder (85) I went to school for a degree in Psychology (89) and worked at a Psychiatric Hospital and in private practice for quite a while. During that time I also led retreats to the Mexican Yucatan (89-96) and figured out what a healthy relationship was and that I didn't have one and got divorced:) (90) Shortly after I met my daughter's dad. Yaxa (Yasha) Inaya's was born in early 92. He is gone, she is a great kid! We lived in Playa del Carmen, Mexico for about 6 months (95-96) but my mom passed away and I decided to return home. Single...Expand for more
parenting Yaxa meant having to settle down more. I have been mostly in private practice since then, for years as a psychotherapist and massage therapist and then that morphed into energy healing and psychic readings, healings and teaching. You can see more about that at my website at SpiritWalk dot info. Or just Google me! I also earned a 2nd MA in Environmental Leadership at Naropa, a Buddhist University in Boulder. (98-01) I've done some interesting stints in research (indigenous models of leadership) and PR/Marketing for CoHousing and Elder CoHousing. One of the more important parts of my life has been my spirituality, which has taken journeys through Eastern philosophy, shamanism, spiritism, and a few other isms. Most recently I have been meshing my beliefs with quantum physics and am a Certified Practitioner of Matrix Energetics. I am currently also leading trips to an amazing healer in Brazil, John of God. Recently, with the economy, I have once again taken a job in landscaping as a designer and project manager. It is fun to go back to those roots and be involved with the earth again. I dream of more travel and exotic places, and am waiting to see what Yaxa decides to do when she graduates HS in June 2010 - 40 years behind us! Teens have changed a lot (they have a lot more drugs and sex!), and yet I see those years mirrored in her life. That's a hoot! Hope you guys are all great. Look forward to seeing you in July 2010.
