Dr. Katherine Coder is an awakener of evolutionary potential and a guide to remember one’s birthright and soul essence. She weaves the ancient wisdom into the now, serving as a vessel for the Divine Feminine in modern times. She holds the form and the formless, facilitating the integration of the known with the unknown.
Her transformative work connects body, mind, heart and Soul and seeks to meet each person as and where they are in the journey of life. Her stance is to recognize the fundamental Truth in each person, honor them as that Truth, and begin the work that needs to be done to bring a person to this essential nature.
Her specialties include trauma resolution, attachment challenges, codependency, childhood and family wounding, women’s work, and motherhood. From a transpersonal perspective she helps her clients with deeper awakenings and integrations. She brings together Western clinical psychology, Eastern spiritual teachings, indigenous wisdom, and the continuous cultivation of the deep feminine in the world.
She has taught lunar wisdom, elemental wisdom, herbal plant wisdom, elements of ceremony, and facilitated women’s work, council circles, workshops, retreats, year-long women’s feminine spirituality schools, and transformative book clubs.
About Me
My mission is to help you reclaim your birthright. You incarnated for a reason, to unfold your essential nature into this world. I honor you and stand before you as a nurturer and warrior to your divine truth. I stand with you in your deepest initiation.
I have traveled the world, remembering and learning to reweave the sacred into the everyday. I have been deeply blessed with profound, spontaneous mystical experiences and deep teachings from indigenous medicine people, Eastern and Western psychospiritual practices, traumatologists, and cultures from the global south. My spirit flies north, south, east, and west. My work is dedicated to my ancestors and all of our relations.
My clinical background and training allows me to navigate trauma with skill and expertise, while my mystical and integral understandings allow me to heal and help from deeper and wiser sources. I serve others from my deepest essence and wisdom, offering what resides most deeply in my heart. The healing I’ve experienced personally has offered me a psychologically and spiritually sound foundation from which our work will flow.
I welcome you to reach out if you are looking to commit deeply to yourself – to your healing, growth, and transformation.
