Kate Moia began developing her spiritual practice in meditation yoga at the age of 14. Years later, Kate experienced her first major spiritual awakening in 2004 under the guidance of a Guru. Through this experience her intuition evolved into psychic awareness & she learned how to channel spirit & travel astral planes. Born as an empath with an acute awareness of the elements of nature & the energy of people, she was on a quest to transcend her own suffering & free her soul. Kate overcame many tales of trauma that once steered her life & she now embraces life’s learnings from an enlightened perspective. She learnt to expand her own consciousness & rebirth a life in a higher frequency of peace, love & abundance. On this powerful healing journey, is where she was initiated by her ancestors in a Shamanic/Traditional ceremony in South Africa, a few years before receiving the Munay-Ki Rites from the Inca Shamans ~ descendants of the Q’ero nation from the Andes Mountains in Peru. Kate received her formal training from Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D. – psychologist & medical anthropologist who studied shamanism in the Amazon & Andes for over 30 years. Alberto Villoldo is also the best-selling author of the book “Shaman, Healer, Sage: How to Heal Yourself and Others with the Energy Medicine of the Americas”, together with Marcela Lobos (author of the book ‘Sacred Andean Codes’), amongst other wise Shamans in South America. She is self-taught on the divine wisdom of many ancient cultures, with a keen interest in self-healing, self-transformation, expanding her heart & consciousness. The alchemy she facilitates for others, is born out of a synthesis of ‘medicine’ from ancient Vedic, Buddhist, indigenous Native American shamanic wisdom with traditional African healing influence. She is a wisdom keeper who holds sacred the light for people, communities & workplaces in Africa and globally. Kate is passionate about healing, consciousness & teaching others how to transmute their own energies into higher states of being. Kate is also a creative who expresses her heart & soul best through the creation of conscious food, art, writing, movement, music, speaking & teaching. Finally, she honours her relationships as mother, daughter, sister, partner & friend, as equally as she does being a mystic Shaman/Intuitive Energy Alchemist & earth steward.
