ABOUT KATRIN NAUMANNI am a native Syracusan, who taught theatre, designed costumes and acted in many places, before transitioning to a career in the Holistic Healing Arts. I found my way back to CNY, through a combination of necessity, synchronicity, and divine intervention.
I tapped into my clairvoyant abilities early but didn't fully develop them until much later, primarily because I had no reference for my experience nor guidance in how to hone that capacity. After my best friend was killed while biking, at 13 yrs., I began to receive messages from the other side. Again, I was at a loss for how to proceed; I felt sure no one would believe me. Soon after, I plummeted into a deep, undiagnosed depression, which led me to engage in self-destructive behaviors to deaden the pain from the loss of my beloved friend. These habits further distanced me from myself and my natural gifts as a seer for many years. While in college, first at St. Lawrence (BFA ‘86), then SU (MFA ‘92), I began my journey of self-discovery, initially in the realms of art and theatre, where I was introduced to the healing powers of Self-Inquiry, Creativity, Imagination, Language, Astrology and Tarot, which I utilize in my healing work today. Later, at another crisis moment, I began studying Eastern Philosophy and Yoga, and received Essential & Advanced Hatha Yoga Certification (RYT-500) from Open Sky Yoga Studio, with Francois Raoult. A powerful self-healing alchemical transformation began within me during Yoga Teacher Training. I also benefited from more traditional talk therapy, during which I began to address trauma I experienced in my family of origin, as well as the deeply seated grief and shame I had never acknowledged or processed after my friend’s death. The healing continues... These experiences propelled me to study the Western Mystery Teachings, Hermetics, Astrology & Tarot, at the School of the New Light, with Master Metaphysican David Harry Davis, former owner of Seven Rays Bookstore. More recently, we co-authored Ten Gates into the Garden: Spiritual Teachings for the Awakening Consciousness, and I also served as Contributing Editor on The Unread Tarot, by David Harry Davis. I was introduced to my beloved guru, Her Holiness, Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi Mishra in 2012. Through many Transformational Healing Journeys and Intensives, in the grace of Sai Maa, I honed my gifts as a holistic healer. Subsequently, I became a certified Qi Gong Therapist through the Qi Gong Institute of Rochester, with Master Lisa B. O’Shea and also studied Vibrational Healing with Elizabeth Wright of SpiritWorks. As I recognized the impact my own experience of trauma had on me, I decided to pursue certification as a Trauma Informed Life Coach with Lou Lebentz in her revolutionary training called, The Voyage®. Currently, I am advancing my training with Jon Paul Crimi as a Breathwork Facilitator. In alignment with your soul's highest good, allow me to create a dynamic program, uniquely suited to you, which will assist you in transmuting & transcending self-imposed limitations that have impeded your ability to thrive and manifest the vibrant life you desire. |
