| As long as I can remember I’ve been fascinated with the concept that there might be more to this life than what can be explained by one’s DNA and environment- what can be seen or observed. I was convinced there were forces acting in people’s lives beyond what the conscious mind perceived. I believed this because I felt this about my own self. Though raised Catholic, I wasn’t from a particularly religious family and there certainly weren’t “intuitives” that I knew or had any exposure to. I’m pretty sure my parents never mentioned angels or my spirit. Regardless, I was completely drawn to “alternative” spirituality. Once in college, I could explore this to an even greater degree and chose pursue a bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in religious studies at Pitzer College in Claremont, California. During this time, I became completely immersed in the study of Eastern religions, shamanism, and mysticism. It was the first time I had ever been introduced to the concept of a healer that wasn’t trained in science—that healing could be guided by spirit and by God. At the same time, I was dealing with personal health issues and found relief through an energy healer trained by Barbara Brennan. Energy work helped me to not just address my health issues but to connect with my own spirit. To consciously understand that who I am is far more than what my ego mind had previously thought completely changed my approach to achieving health and happiness. After college, I moved to Arizona for work, and
turned to yoga to relieve stress. The spiritual focus of yoga further
developed my inner awareness and gave me a discipline that encompassed
many aspects of the Eastern religions that resonated with me. While
in Arizona I also had the privilege of meeting and studying with a
Hawaiian Kahuna and healer. Through my own efforts towards personal growth, yoga, and the loving guidance and wisdom of master teachers, I’ve developed a deep relationship with my own spirit, nature, and our Creator. I gradually learned to get clear guidance from her higher self and the Universe. When my mother passed away, her spirit came frequently to see me, comfort me, and speak to me. Before my mother passed, I thought that I was capable of communicating with my own spirit and Our Creator but I would have never trusted my abilities to receive information from the spirit realm for others. Being able to hear and see my mother’s spirit greatly opened my channel of communication. I compare my abilities before losing my mother to that of being able to peer through a keyhole into the world of spirit to now being able to stand in the doorway. My mother’s sudden death also inspired me to fully commitment to not wasting my precious time on this earth. For a long time I wanted to pretend I was just going to be your average suburban housewife and just raise my family. I knew that God had other plans for me and sharing my gift is part my spirit’s purpose here. Relaying the insight, information, inspiration, the love and support that our Creator has for all of us gives me immense joy - I am so grateful. Now as an intuitive, teacher and yoga instructor, I help others connect to their bodies, spirits and divine guidance. What is most important to me is that people understand that the information I provide is accessible to everyone. We are all absolutely capable of discovering and then strengthening our connection to divine guidance and our Highest Self. I live in Olathe, Kansas, with my husband, son and pets. I love being a mother, working in my garden and exploring the area on walks with my dog. I am available for consultations both in person and over the phone. 816-419-4938 or katie.vanommeren@sbcglobal.net |
