About

Hi! I’m Katie.

I’m a guide for humans seeking to enliven their creative nature by studying the earth’s seasons.

Through writing, seasonal insight, and the wisdom of the Darkwood Archetypes, I help you navigate your creative cycles.

I use scent, symbolism, and poetry to help you feel your feet on your path.

I am incredibly grateful to Katie and all that she offers… she teaches 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 the pedagogy of The Darkwood School are a culmination of my life’s studies.

My love of ritual and sitting in 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.

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

Currently, I work from my hometown of Asheville, NC blending oils, teaching seasonal and archetypal wisdom, and facilitating gatherings. As a daily creative, I write poetry, dance, do ritual, and design. I also enjoy the challenge of random creative acts, like making a dress for a fashion show or helping structure someone’s business in a unique way.

“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
