Episode Notes

Kat Courtney is a woman of exceptional power, perspective and wisdom. 

She is an 18 year veteran of Plant Medicines: Meaning she has been traditionally trained to administer the psychedelic medicinal brew Ayahuasca and the botanical cousin of Peyote, Huachuma or San Pedro cactus. She is an integration coach and her expertise extends to crises of the soul and addiction recovery. And she is an author with her first book out now,  The Plant Medicine Mystery School Volume 1: The Superhero Healing Powers of Psychotropic Plants. She is a certified Death Doula honored to help people make peace with the inevitable and beautiful transition into the afterlife.

Kat trained for almost 12 years, drinking in hundreds and hundreds of plant ceremonies. She completed 22 master plant dietas to date, including a 9 month dieta and a full year deep dive, and she has held a Master Level Reiki certification for over a decade. Now, 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 in conjunction with major life events.

Specific to this podcast, Kat is yet another member of the “Save Paul Team” in that she was there at the beginning of my journey to where I am today. I remember the very first time I spoke with her. I thought I would be going to see her in person and have to walk through a beaded doorway into a cloud of incense. That’s how cynical and naive I was. What happened is that I sat in my car, in a parking lot, in a Vegas downpour talking to a woman on my cell who told me it was going to be okay by instilling in me confidence through her own story of redemption and purpose. An hour and a half later, I was in…and about to enter the world of Pachamama/Mother Ayahuasca with Kat, as my guide.
