Originally from the Central Coast NSW, Kathy made her way up to Far North Queensland in 2012 on her 'loving life' tour around Australia however she never made it past the Daintree Rainforest where she fell in love with the land and the rainforest.

 

Going against all her logical insticts and following her soul guidance she came to live on a remote and isolated off grid property on the furthest remote reaches of the Daintree Rainforest which is only accessible by 4wd living back to basics and connecting with her inner medicine woman on the land, on country and in the jungles of the rainforest. Through living like this for the good part of a decade she developed a deep connection to the land and received a deepening of connection to spirit and ancestral medicine.

In 2023 Kathy relocated to Cairns after receiving strong and persistent spirt guidance that it was time to reconnect with community and bring the medicine to the people that she had dived deep into through living on the land.

 

She is now based in Cairns and building connections throughout Far North Queensland sharing her sacred women's circles, dance and laughter events when her daughter goes up to stay at the off grid bush camp with her father.

 

And on the weeks when her daughter is with her, she is a full time homeschooling/unschooling mama doing all the mama, daughter things and connecting with our mama and children friends.
