Psychotherapy

"In 2001, I had an emotional breakdown and was experiencing difficulties functioning in my personal and professional life, so I sought the assistance of two "mainstream" therapists. While these therapists had excellent intentions, they failed to help me resolve my problems. The traditional talk therapy methods they employed did not address the energetic roots of my emotional issues. As such, I began to search for alternatives to mainstream therapy.

Kate, through her alternative, energy-based psychotherapy practice helped me immensely. She taught me how to feel and connect with my emotions energetically in my body, and not just intellectually in my head. Learning how to feel my emotions and just be with them as opposed to intellectualizing them and trying to make them go away, enabled me to understand what was going wrong with my life.

I am very satisfied with the progress I have made in my mental, emotional, and spiritual well being; that is why I keep coming back for more. I employ Kate's techniques to my life on a daily basis, and feel grounded and comfortable with myself as a result. Her energy therapy works. It is a breath of fresh air compared to traditional talk therapy." Loui, lawyer

"I went to Kate when I was immobilized by fear, self-doubt, despair, confusion, and frustration. I sought healing. Kate has become my most precious guide on this transformative path toward understanding and clarity and liberation. She is an ever-compassionate companion, an illuminated and passionate teacher and a gifted healer. I believe that anyone who has the privilege of working with Kate is truly blessed."-Eve, screen writer, documentary film maker

Shamanic Healing

"Hi Kate, I have been pondering the effect of yesterday’s session on the table. Least interesting of all is my sense of reduced pain and stiffness in my upper back.

The more interesting aftermath is the unusual sensations that I recall and the questions they raised. I recall feeling untroubled, that anything irritating, all the background noise of my life, was simply not anywhere in my awareness.  It was like a rich contentedness, not sleepy in any way, but not alert in any perky way either and with no sense of needing to be, or being capable of or interested in projecting myself out into the outer world...
 
It must be very healing to the whole psycho-physical organism to experience so much relaxation.  I think of the tranquility after savasana (yoga pose) as a healing experience, but the sensation after the table session was all-pervasive, encompassing so much more of what I sense as my being…. I jotted down the words “the peace that passeth all understanding”, although those words are grandiose – my sense was not elevation of spirit, but a natural state of the greatest simplicity. Even when I was remembering it this morning and writing, my hand would feel heavy and want to slip down to the chair at my side, and my shoulders kept falling away from my ears….That was something. Thank you." A., lawyer

Intuitive Counseling

"The information I received from Kate was fabulous, mind-blowing stuff! The information definitely helped my in my overall life. I now have answers to questions that nagged at my inner being for a while now. And Kate revealed those almost-impossible-to-get-at answers – the kind of answers that only someone that is highly gifted and talented can discover – one of the many reasons why Kate Opashinov is so special and so incredibly talented.

I’ve been “searching” for answers to several questions for quite some time now, and only Kate was able to give me the “meat on the bone”, figuratively speaking. Finally – some real concrete information about what’s really going on with me! Finally, some information I can actually use to better my life!

The answers that Kate provided to my questions were unbelievably deep and insightful, because Kate is one in a zillion with her talents and skills as an intuitive master and someone who knows and can read energy (just to name one of her talents). That is one of the reasons I had such high expectations about Kate before I had an intuitive healing session with her – that she could actually bring some serious depth to my inquiries, and she sure delivered! I’m a new woman after my session with Kate, because of the information she provided. Definitely not your “same old, same old”!

The experience was fabulous. Kate did exactly what she said she would do – download information about my life and give it back to me. And, the information was exactly what I was looking for – deep, insightful, and very helpful to me in solving certain problems, as well as knowing what direction to steer my life in moving forward. Kate has a great sense of humour as well. Plus, she is sensitive, kind and compassionate. Kate is an amazing woman, intuitive and healer. Having a session with Kate was definitely one of the best things I’ve done for myself – a real treat, with real results.

I told my best friend about the reading, and she was blown off her chair. She was stunned at how well Kate knew me; knew my deepest, most innermost struggles and answers to those struggles. Both my friend and I knew Kate hit the nail on the head when it comes to analyzing my life – amazing for someone who doesn’t even know me. My friend was so impressed she is also going to have a reading with Kate. This is a reading of a lifetime, and if you have any questions on your life’s mission, it is a reading not to be missed." Jane, senior vice-president operations

“Immediately after my session with Kate, I felt profoundly transformed. I remember sitting on the streetcar on the way home, beaming silently to myself when a woman spoke to me, having mistook me for someone she knew. This was the first person I interacted with after the session. I smiled a full, broad smile and when I spoke I knew something was different. I felt more present, more alive then I had in a long time, perhaps even ever. A significant portion of my heartache, angst and anxiety was healed with Kate on that occasion. Since then, I keep looking for it, as if it should be there, but I find only a fraction of what had been there. Kate was not afraid of my pain. Since she wasn't, suddenly neither was I. I am grateful for her ability to be non-judgmental and maintain a light-hearted approach to healing. I would recommend her to anyone who wishes to reach a new level of inner peace, strength and joy. Thank you Kate! I wish you much joy and success... “ Jake, environmentalist and artist

"My reading with Kate had a depth and an honesty that was as clear and clean as I could hope for. I felt seen in a way that is atypical for me and I can only think that is because she gets herself 'out of the way' in order to communicate what she is asked to. I continue to find nuances and meaning in the reading and wholeheartedly recommend an appointment with her." Tere, professional astrologist

"What I learned from you was simply profound. My expectations were quite high, since I had had previous information from my friend's experience. Even so, I was amazed by the amount of knowledge you had on me and, mostly how you were able to all tie it together. As you put it, it was myself in a mirror. The experience was completely new, fresh, the opportunity of starting with a blank canvas. I was off-balanced, and taken aback by the breadth and scope of what you were giving me. Also, you adapted to the tone of my presence immediately, to what I am, which was superb to sense.

My questions came as an add-on. Most of them were already, explicitly or implicitly, answered. The experience was soothing. The whole time spent was coherent and resonated with me. That is precisely what I still lack at the moment – that sense of a whole, rather than  bits and pieces. I also appreciated the place- its simplicity, its lack of formality, which helped to focus on the essential.

I would recommend your reading, but would make sure the friend understands the process and the concept of intuition behind it – which I struggled a bit with first. And I would tell him: let go."

"I knew from attending a couple of Kate’s classes that she is a person of great depth and understanding of life, the universe and the human condition.  Kate brought this level of insight to the answers she gave me and communicated them in a way that made it easy for me to understand.

Kate is a warm, welcoming person and she brings a relaxed, calm, and also fun energy to her interactions.  I felt comfortable immediately and enjoyed the entire experience.  Kate shared information with me that provided some much needed clarity to my life, particularly in the area of work.  After the reading I felt energized, calm and happy. Kate can help shine a light on the areas in your life where you are having trouble seeing clearly." Nancy, marketing

"Kate's reading was spiritually and energetically rich. My session with her made me realize that in essence I had been walking around my own neighborhood for years, unable to remember where I lived. Kate not only showed me my home, but she gave me the keys to get inside. She showed me that my instincts are correct, and that I can trust them, even when at times they seem irrational. My beliefs were confirmed, and aspects to my life that were previously confusing were explained. Kate's reading has opened a door behind which lies the greatest journey of my life! I highly recommend Kate's readings to anyone, especially those who are ready for a change in their lives." Sarah, artisan

"I am impressed by the amount of data and Kate's ability to integrate and present what she maintains are random bits of information. It will take hours and hours for me to take in what she provided in an hour. Thank you Kate for using your powers for good." Karen, lawyer

"My session with you was very eye-opening.  I do not feel that I am operating on the same plane that I was on when we met a few months ago.  I have sought out and heard information from family members that has been very enlightening.  Mostly I have recognized the destructiveness of patterns in my life and I am gaining some sense of control.  Feels pretty good, I have to say." Liz, stay-at-home mom

"After my reading I felt grounded, and happy. With no background information on me, Kate addressed specific life issues that I was already working on. Overall, a very empowering experience. I would absolutely recommend a reading to a friend. Kate is intelligent, accurate, and funny." Mark, college professor and author

"The information I got was very accurate, helpful, and most importantly--  actionable. Kate made me feel very comfortable. I was a bit wary. Her sensitivity was very high. The healing provided by her “channeling” was significant. I would recommend the reading to someone who needs direction after a while of being “stuck”." Nieves, former vp marketing, multinational corporation

"The reading was one of the most memorable experiences that I have had to date. Kate, you were able to bring me insight and awareness to key situations in my life and so clearly and at a level that was sensitive to my needs. I left the reading feeling calm, yet full of excitement for what may be ahead for me. Although the reading was only a few days ago, I have already recommended a reading to five friends as well as told my brother and parents about how great the reading was. To be honest, I have a feeling I will be telling many more.

I explained to them that you just blew me away and that you offer the reading in a way that is so healing and helpful. I mentioned to them that you are the real deal and that the reading is not like one of those “crystal ball/Jo Jo psychics” that they may be picturing. Rather, you, in my eyes, are similar to a therapist there to guide them by providing such accurate and in depth insight and healing. I told them that I believe they go into a session and come out with what it is that they need to know right now." Linda, publicist

"Just a quick e-mail to say thanks for the other day, it was indescribably poignant and wonderful and lots of other descriptive invigorating words, a bit like a kick up the bum from the Divine......so THANKS." Bruce, engineer

Energetic Business Counseling

 

"I had quite a bit of resistance to trying business counseling, thinking that my business issues couldn't be resolved by counseling, but rather that they were financial... or circumstantial... or any other number of external causes.  I knew I had fears that were getting triggered in the business arena, but I assumed they were just a result of my not being a 'business mind', and that I simply lacked the stomach for business.

That first session with Kate was certainly surprising, and caught me totally off guard!  I wasn't expecting to cry during a business counseling session, but she just seemed to be able to see right through to the heart of things, and some of those things were a bit painful to face.  With Kate's gentle guidance and subtle leading (and sense of humor!), I was able to finally see that my fears and difficulties in business had very little to do with a lack of experience, sales skills or know-how... and had much more to do with personal assumptions and judgments I and others had made, some that had roots as far back as childhood!

My sales have tripled, partly because of the store front, but then I don't think I'd have had the confidence to showcase my products so effectively had it not been for our sessions.  Also, new wholesale accounts have increased significantly, and I am receiving at least twice as many wholesale inquiries than before our sessions began.

Skills I thought would always be out of my reach are now coming more easily to me; my confidence has blossomed, my ability to deal effectively with clients and customers has grown, and that paralyzing fear has lost its grip on me.  The impenetrable mystery around success in the business realm has cleared, and I can finally see my place in all of it...Thanks Kate!"
