About

Hi! I’m Katie.

I’m a guide for women and femmes seeking connection to the sacred Self.

Through ritual, writing, and mindfulness, I’ll help you breathe life into your mystical nature.

I use scent, symbolism, and poetry to help you walk your path and purpose.

I am incredibly grateful to Katie and all that she offers… she teaches birthright medicine in a way no one else does. She’s a gem, and what she brings to the heart is nothing short of spectacular and miraculous. Don’t miss the opportunity to know yourself through Katie’s eyes. –C.H.

River island Apothecary and Darkwood Mystery School are a culmination of my life’s studies.

My love of ritual and women’s circles began as a kid in Girl Scouts. I studied symbolism through a literature degree, and the healing arts as a massage therapist. I indulged my love of scent with Aromatherapy and the art of botanical perfumery. I kindled my ritual skills by participating in a Mystery School for many years, and circling with hundreds of women.

I’ve lived off the grid, built cool businesses, and followed my heart as an artist guided by the cycles of nature and magic.

My signature anointing oils and mystery school embody all of this.

Currently, I work from my hometown of Asheville, NC blending oils, teaching seasonal and archetypal mysticism, and facilitating ritual.  My studio is called “Darkwood”.  I named my mystery school after it as an homage to the many ways this place teaches and holds me. It is a space I designed and built, and I love welcoming students here for classes and retreats.

“Working with Katie is like accepting an invitation to come home to oneself. From the moment you enter Katie’s sacred space, you are touching the Divine within while growing in your wisdom. Katie is brilliant; warm, grounded, courageous. A true master.”  — Laura Juarez, Pure Potential
