Wild Voice Coaching Testimonials
-
Jane Shtalenkova ; Engineer
Using a combination of classical vocal training techniques and deep spiritual connection, she has helped me come home to myself and the Earth. I now have new skills to play with and feel empowered to share my voice with my community, sing into my wild being, and express my gratitude and loving reciprocity to the land. I have learned techniques to prepare, train, and use my vocal instrument safely and powerfully. Not only has my singing improved, but I feel that opening up my throat space has empowered me to speak up for what I believe, speak truth to power, and speak loving kindness more clearly. Everyone that hears me sing now reflects how much stronger and clearer my voice sounds!

Under Katharine’s tutoring, my voice has undergone a profound transformation, evolving into a powerful and resonant instrument. Her expertise and encouragement have not only improved the technical aspects of my vocal delivery but have also taken me on a holistic journey that has positively impacted my life. Her insights and techniques made me see things differently, and I was able to work through my blockages. It has also opened doors to greater self-awareness. I am so grateful for the transformative experience she provided! Her unwavering support and commitment to helping me discover the full potential of my voice are truly appreciated!

Kristin Lewis; Vocal Artist
Working with Katharine has been a truly transformative and supportive experience! Her approach of blending practical tools and shamanism beautifully bridges the gap between the world of classical vocal training and the spiritual unseen realms. She has taught me simple and effective practices to safely develop my vocal strength with confidence - ones I can come back to any time I want to deepen back into my singing journey. In our sessions together, I’ve learned to develop my unique sound and unleash my voice like never before! Since working with her I’ve noticed powerful shifts in my life. I’ve learned to listen to my intuition more deeply, speak up about my boundaries and needs more clearly, and let go of what no longer works in my life. Opening my voice has gone far beyond just learning how to sing! I’m also incredibly blessed to have gotten the chance to meet Katharine in person. If you feel called to work with her or attend one of her retreats…go for it! You won’t regret it. She offers such deep medicine in a heart-centered way that is truly incredible.

Jaeid Tribe ; Poet + Artist
Vocal coaching with Katharine guided me so effortlessly and beautifully to softly open my authentic singing voice. I landed more deeply into my truth of my being, and I felt enabled to speak some radical truths in my personal life - setting very clear boundaries with family and breaking up with my ex of 5.5 years. I reawakened my knowledge of the structure of singing, and encouraged the feminine wild of my voice to flow within. I also learned the connection of voice, pleasure, rage, and compassion. Katharine is divinely guided!!!

Melanie Moreno ; Astrologer
What is it like to be witnessed in your messy, uncertain, uncomfortable return to yourself? That is how I would describe voice coaching with Katharine. A few months ago, I had this deep yearning inside of me to open up my voice and I thought singing lessons would help. I must also mention: singing in front of another person was one of my greatest FEARS, but I wanted to overcome it. I went from not being able to utter a sound to allowing myself to be comfortable being witnessed in my own messiness. In sessions with Katharine, I realized my fear of singing was masking other worries and insecurities in myself that were begging to be SEEN and HEARD. Opening up my voice opened up more than just my throat. Katharine really helped me see how healing my own voice can be for my inner and outer realities. Now, I feel more empowered and less scared of my own voice!

Ekani Le; Bodyworker
Katharine has been a big blessing in my life last year. I met her when I was in a challenging relationship. I realized that the best relationship that I needed to focus on was with myself, to activate my voice. Through this experience, I appreciate the wealth of knowledge and guidance that helped me to reclaim many parts of myself. Katharine has so much magic and determination to support all walks of life to gain, learn and step into confidence. I'm incredibly grateful for the voice that I'm leading. Songs are coming to me and I feel my heart expanding.

Alissa Cardin; Massage Therapist & Sexuality Coach
If you are ready for a deeply sentimental experience with yourself and your voice, allow Katharine to guide you through her magical sessions. We worked by the Redwoods next to a flowing stream of water. Katharine’s choice of working with the water element was cleansing and allowed my energy to flow freely. She sets up her rituals intuitively and guided me through vocalizing sounds with low to high intensity. Her guidance allowed for my vulnerability to power through and express. It felt so very empowering to release the sound. I absolutely loved just allowing it to come out, because at times I tend to hold back. I knew this was divine timing to work with her and her intuitive nature guided my into a magical experience to open my chakras and begin to create movement in my voice again

Karina Perafin ; Birth Keeper
Katharine’s mixture of confidence, wisdom, experience and humbleness made it such a safe space for me to dive deeper into my singing AND expressing myself with my voice. Katharine provided such easy but profound practices that have amplified my life and that I still carry with me even after the course was completed. I can confidently say that she helped me feel more assured and grounded in my singing and alongside that, it has also made me feel more comfortable and confident in who I am and when it comes to speaking up for myself and relaying my boundaries.
Workshop Testimonials

Diana Perez; Tantric Sexuality Coach
We hired Katharine to lead a 3 hour Wild Voice Workshop at our Mujer Salvaje (Wild Woman) Retreat near Shasta, California. Katharine connected effortlessly with the women who came and helped lead them into a deep connection with their voice. She combined vocal technique, vocal toning, womb connection, and ceremony elements in her workshop. By the end all the women felt their throat chakras open, were more empowered to speak their truth and use their own unique singing voice. Her wisdom and her essence helps you have a deep journey to find your own voice and power.

Deanna Falge; Ecstatic Dance DJ & Women's Wilderness Guide
Katharine brought wild voice coaching to a group of women in one of my ecstatic dance events as well as one of my ceremonial performances. I am captivated and inspired by Katharine’s both powerful and inviting presence as a facilitator and coach. She is so easy to connect with and seemlessly helps others tap into an inner wisdom that is expressed through their voice.

Nayelin Mendoza; Yoga Teacher + Ceremony Leader
Before Katharine’s class I did not know about the power of singing. This was the first time I experience a meditation using my voice. I learned that If I can breath I can sing, and that I can find my healing through out my singing. I found my voice activating all my chakras. In Katharine’s singing class I experience my self as a channel as the energy coming through me and gave me the realize and power that I needed at that moment.
Photography Testimonials

Samantha Helm ; Womens Sexuality Coach
Working with Katharine was such a joy and highly transformative experience. I was going through a rough period when we did our photo shoot together, I wasn’t feeling great about myself before however afterwards I felt deeply moved, empowered, truly beautiful and I felt a spark of my being being ignited again. I love how she wove in ritual in the beginning and throughout the whole process. This added a very sacred element, that made me feel extra safe and held. Her cues, guidance and grounded presence made the experience feel both freeing and easy, I could relax and allow parts of myself shine that don’t always get the opportunity to do so. I felt like a total Goddess and I think my photos certainly reflect that.

Madelyn Flanagan ; Yoga Teacher
I experienced so much transformation doing my photoshoot! I had a melt down right before the shoot because my skin has been bad and I truly haven’t been feeling pretty & definitely didn’t want to be on camera. Katharine held the space for this and I was reminded of who I was beneath it all. Then as I’m doing the shoot, Katharine was so fucking amazing, allowing me to bring out who I truly am under this skin. She let me play & dance & made it the safest space. I got the chance to crawl all over Pachemama in my most natural state & it reminded me of MY power. After the shoot, I was so back in my body, feeling like myself from the inside out. So powerful & healing. A feeling I will hold onto forever.

I don’t normally feel like the cutest person on camera, but my oh my did I feel like a goddess during this shoot!!! Truly Katie is a mastermind behind the camera and was so amazing at helping guide me through the photoshoot. Looking at the photos she took, and all I can say is wow… I am speechless. She made me feel so beautiful and in my power. She finds a way to make YOUR character shine through the lens. I don’t consider myself photogenic, but let me tell you.. she makes you feel like you’ve been a runway model for years. Thank you Katie for empowering me and so many others with your special gifts!

Nylah ; Herbal Alchemist
My photoshoot with Katharine was amazing, I felt so comfortable and safe. In the past as a child I have had some deep wounding around the modeling industry and self image. Being told constantly I am not of beauty standards at a young age. My thighs are too big, my nose is too big my complexion is too dark. From a young age I would look at photoshoots and not see me. Only an image of what they wanted me to be and still would notice the so called “flaws” of my body. Katie took photos of me, I could look at myself and see me for me. In all of my unique beauty, it was truly empowering! In those moments I called back my beauty, my power and my love for my body!

Jaied Tribe
Being in front of a camera felt absolutely terrifying for me. For years, I have wanted to be a model, yet I have been afraid of a camera for as long as I can remember. It was like whenever a camera pointed at me, I ceased to be myself and instead became whatever the camera wanted from me. Doing this photo shoot with Katharine supported me in shifting so much of my fear into courage and desire. Courage to be seen exactly as I am in that moment without putting on an act. Desire to be raw and authentic with the lens, with the photographer. Desire to connect deeply, and to show that connection to the camera - and even connect with those viewing the pictures, inspire them. Courage to free my heart, let it be wild, and allow my essence to show through my being and into the camera.
