Tina “Kat” Courtney - Founder
Ms. Courtney’s wild and beautiful ride with plant medicine began in 2006, when she landed at SpiritQuest in the Peruvian jungle to begin her healing journey. At the time, she was diagnosed bipolar, with bouts of destructive depression, and anxiety so intense it landed her in the hospital, multiple times.
Her first journey with Ayahuasca ignited in her the awareness that despite what doctors had told her, she could in fact be stable, happy, and strong. Within two cycles (7 ceremonies), Kat was ready to devote her entire life to the study of shamanism.
Kat trained for almost 12 years, drinking in hundreds and hundreds plant ceremonies. She has completed over 40 master plant dietas to date, including a 9 month dieta and a full year deep dive. She’s also a Master Reiki practitioner and a trained Curandera.
Many years ago, the term “AfterLife Coach” popped into Kat’s awareness during a journey with Ayahuasca. The medicine urged Kat to create a platform of coaching to assist seekers in the integration of powerful plant medicines. It was a discipline that was almost unheard of at the time, but she took the plunge and launched full throttle into the integration space. Now she is honored to train others to do the same.
Kat pours medicine in places like Peru and Costa Rica many times a year, leads master plant dietas both in person and remotely, and assists with preparation and integration of psychedelics and major life events through her role as a Shamanic Life Coach. She has also received Death Doula certification from the Conscious Dying Institute, so that she may create a ceremonial experience for those who are transitioning. Kat is an expert at guiding people through the shadow work that emerges from patterns of destruction and darkness, and the path of understanding and embracing death.
Kat is the also the author of "The Plant Medicine Mystery School Vol. 1--The Superhero Healing Powers of Psychotropic Plants” - released by Metanoia Press, now available on Amazon. This is the first of many books she is committed to write on behalf of the Plants.
