FROM CLIENTS:
Katrina Leathers’ guidance has been a steady and powerful force during a difficult and pivotal chapter in my life. Her presence and quiet strength have also gently yet profoundly shifted something in me — and continues to do so.
Grounded, wise, and compassionate — she creates a space that feels truly safe. Her openness allows me to bring forth my oldest wounds and hardest questions. Nothing is off-limits; every part of me is welcomed, witnessed, and guided toward clarity and healing. Everything is held with care and integrity.
What sets Katrina apart is her humility — she never pretends to have all the answers. Her ability to listen deeply and walk beside you, rather than in front of you, makes the journey feel both empowered and sacred. And therein lies the passage to meet my own answers. She truly knows how to receive, how to hold, how to honor.
I return again and again because her work is bringing me closer to my individuality and spiritual truth. I am grateful for the work we have done together and cannot recommend her enough to anyone who is seeking healing, awakening and guidance towards their own spiritually sacred path.
With heartfelt thanks, warmth, and respect,

Katrina is a skilled listener and the compassionate space that she has offered for me has allowed for my growth and transformation. Eleven years ago, when I started seeing her for Spiritual Direction, I could not have imagined that my fears and trauma related to my religious upbringing could not only be heard, but be healed. Through offering sacred curiosity, spaces for spiritual visualizations, and openness to my unique ways of making meaning, Katrina continues to bless my life with her skillful wisdom and quiet grounded presence. I am grateful beyond words.
~Chaplain Riley Sophia
Katrina guides with a light touch. She offers. She asks questions. She follows the arc of my journeys so that the experience always feels organic and real. The path I’m on with Katrina’s guidance is filled with mystery and surprise. Yet, as I look back, I can see where I’m going: to a richer, deeper sense of life itself.
~Brin
It is a joy and an honor to recommend Katrina Leathers. For nearly four years, I have worked with her as my spiritual director and shamanic mentor. In that time, her guidance has profoundly shaped my inner and outer life.
Through shamanic journeys with Katrina, I’ve come to see myself — and the world — in new ways. These journeys have taught me to listen more deeply, to walk with my ancestors more readily, and to navigate life with greater clarity and courage. Katrina’s presence is deeply grounded and compassionate. She listens with her whole being and speaks with insight that feels both timeless and precise.
My work with her has been nothing short of transformative. I am grateful beyond words and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone seeking wise, soulful guidance.
With immense gratitude,
Cardona
Katrina is gentle and asks excellent questions, then allows the answers to unfold in the time they need. This is because Katrina has a stillness about her that opens to Spirit in a deep and profound way. Her ability to hold that stillness with steadfastness, and to work from its depths helps me in turn to discern Spirit in and through in all things.

FROM COLLEAGUES:
I’ve known Katrina since 2012. She is a gifted spiritual director/companion, who also brings her shamanic and expressive therapy background to her work, weaving together all of her training and experience to support people in knowing their own truth and living it more freely. She sees beneath the surface of things and helps people get to the heart of the matter. So many times, her questions or observations have helped me get clear on what my issue really is and how I can – with much compassion and self-compassion – find healing and wholeness.
Her humor, warmth, and radical welcome of all people, especially those on the margins, makes it a joy to be fully myself in her presence.
Above all, the gift of Katrina’s work is Katrina herself. She is a warm, kind, deep listener whose intuition, curiosity, spiritual aliveness, and loving presence create a safe and affirming place in which to be vulnerable and explore the depths of your life.
Scott Quinn, spiritual director and instructor/supervisor of spiritual directors
I’ve known Katrina for 13 years. Over that time, I’ve seen her in many functions, all of which she handled with skill, integrity and grace. As a spiritual director, she has deep knowledge of Shamanic practices, but she is not limited to that approach alone. She is excellent at being with a person where they are and gently bringing them into a closer relationship with the divine, and with their own inner light, wisdom and holiness. I learn from her whenever we’re together.
Lindsay R. LMFT (retired)
Over the decade that I’ve been a student, client and colleague of Katrina’s, I am grateful for receiving her heart-centered spiritual guidance.
Her integrative approach of shamanic journeying, dreamwork and art has been a gift, enriching and deepening my connection with Spirit.
