“Kathy deftly and expertly covers an amazing spectrum of healing modalities that guide the reader to the truth of who they really are: an eternal spirit living a human experience here on Earth. Kathy speaks the truth: that we are all one consciousness, that we are never alone, that we are perfect just as we are, that we are loved, and that we have access to guidance from our spirit and Spirit guides all of the time. That we have chosen of our own free will to come to Earth, and that we are not victims. Rather, she teaches that our purpose here is to increase our level of spiritual awareness and connect to Universal Consciousness, God, and love when in our human state. 

Kathy teaches us methods to discover our constant connection to our spirit and to All That Is. She teaches us how we can hear or feel advice from our guides. She helps the reader understand the value of living in the present moment, and the importance of letting go of the fearful storylines of the mind that would take us out of the present moment into the past or future. Every experience we have in life, whether we judge it as good or bad, offers us the opportunity to grow and learn. Kathy teaches us how we can live a Spirit-guided life filled with love and joy. 

Regardless of where you are on your spiritual journey, there is something within these pages that will speak to you and open your heart. Enjoy!”

Kathy is not only a talented traditional therapist but also an extremely well-read, highly trained, and gifted spiritual counselor and mentor. Her ability to nimbly move from one form of therapy to another, based on each client’s needs and desires, is rare and powerful.

“As a research scientist, educator, and one of Kathy’s close friends, I am continually impressed with her openness to exploring and understanding both the science and spirituality of wellness. I simply cannot recommend this book enough. It is high time we learned to tap into our own spiritual knowledge and embrace our guides and higher Spirit (God) for their collective wisdom and direction. Only then will we live our best lives. This book will help you do just that.”
