Cathy Skipper is renowned for her excellent teaching and coaching style. Her gift in beholding students and clients even in a busy room or zoom call makes learning and transformation easy, applicable and enjoyable.

Cathy received a Bachelor of Education in education at The University of London in 1989. She is a certified coach and has been teaching and coaching for over thirty years. She also trained as an aromatherapist, herbalist and energy worker in France.

A commitment to her own healing journey and a wide experience of life along with a solid knowledge and working experience of depth psychology are the foundation from which she teaches and coaches. She combines instinct, mastery and her own lived experience to help others translate their own experiences and challenges into wisdom.

Through my commitment to my own Wounded Healer's journey, I help our clients and students find their own personal myth or soul's purpose. Alive aromatic allies, in the form of high quality essential oils, powerfully help our ego, our conscious story of ourselves, partner with our soul, Shadow or unconscious by bypassing the intellect and weakening the Default Mode Network.

In response to the recent groundswell of interest in psychedelic therapies, I have pioneered the use of essential oils to enhance the benefits of psychedelic therapies in a variety of ways. Essential oils synergize with psychedelic therapies on multiple levels. Ultimately my hope is to remind everyone that aromatic allies can be powerful by themselves to help us live in alignment with our soul's purpose.

After a career in mainstream academic psychiatry and addiction treatment, I became frustrated by the overemphasis on pharmaceuticals to cover up symptoms and decided to use my knowledge and experience to help people recover from pharmaceutical medications.

I received my bachelor's degree in molecular biology at Princeton University, where I learned to question assumptions and discover the hidden gifts of the unseen side of life, the shadow. I received my medical doctorate from Columbia University, which taught me how to think critically about 'business-as-usual' medicine and inspired me to become an addiction psychiatrist.
