Meet the Virgo
Peace and welcome, my name is Kat
In 2017, I sat in ceremony with Ayahuasca deep in the jungle of Costa Rica and my life and my consciousness have never been the same.
In 2018, I was initiated a Green Witch by elder wise woman, author and herbalist, Susun Weed. I am devoted to bridging the subliminal space between two worlds -plants and people - remembering ancestral wisdom and reminding my community that the plants heal us - in this tender time where healing is needed most.
​
On the journey of the divine and wild feminine, I arrived at birth. Devastated by modern masculine and medical usurpation of our sacred initiation, I sought traditional and radical remembrance. In 2022, I sat at the feet of traditional midwife Whapio and completed her Holistic Doula Certification. In 2023, I experienced my own undisturbed, physiologic birth and walked through the flames into my own motherhood. In 2024, I graduated from Radical Birth Keeper School led by Emilee Saldaya of Free Birth Society and Yolande Norris-Clark. In 2025, I completed the Weaving of the Womb traditional postpartum ceremony training under the mentorship of Michelle Joseph of Sovereign Postpartum and Sam Barrett of Saroba Wellness.
​
A forever student of formal birth and herbal education, I continue to receive the most profound insights and wisdom by sitting with the women and the plants themselves.

Peace on Earth begins with birth

OFFERINGS FROM THE HEART

Pregnant and birthing mothers are elemental forces, in the same sense that gravity, thunderstorms, earthquakes, and hurricanes are elemental forces.
In order to understand the laws of their energy flow, you have
to love and respect them for their magnificence

Ina May Gaskin
Virgo (n.)
: a healer among her people and a divine conduit of Earth magic.​
Historically,
virgin mothers and goddesses are women in full sovereignty,
devoted to their enlightenment, connected deeply to their intuition.

Virgin is not woman untouched, virgin is woman unowned.
