What makes us so unique? Our founder Kat Schwarz battled depression, anxiety, and bipolar symptoms for much of her life. She became suicidal in her mid 30s when traditional pharmaceuticals and treatments— including a partial hospitalization program—failed to provide relief. When a psychiatrist diagnosed her with complex PTSD in 2017, it turned Kat’s understanding of childhood trauma and its effects on physical and mental health across the lifespan on its head. Having turned from Catholicism to atheism in her early 20s, Kat was stunned in 2018 when a rapid spiritual awakening helped shape her understanding that her “mental illness” was, in fact, spiritual giftedness. A former physical therapist turned Reiki Master of Masters, certified trauma educator and medium of spirit, Kat (along with her gifted team of healers) helps and teaches other highly sensitive, empathic people how to transmute their pain and suffering into thriving with purpose.
