Meet Katherine Swanson of Holy Shift Healing

Today we’d like to introduce you to Katherine Swanson.

Hi Katherine, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I was born with many spiritual gifts that I could never understand as a child, and I never spoke out about them for fear of being misunderstood. I’ve always had one foot in this reality and one beyond the veil. I’ve always been able to communicate with crossed-over loved ones, and they always come to me to relay important messages. I’ve always been able to communicate with other beings, plants, animals, and any sentient life forms. I’ve always been able to physically feel what others do, whether or not I wanted to. It’s taken a long time to hone in on these gifts and put them to good use to help people rather than feel bombarded by them.

The last time I was featured here, I flourished in my previous career as a fashion designer, master seamstress & internationally published alternative model. I created eco-friendly fashion, participated in KC Fashion Week multiple seasons, and designed stage clothing for rockstars. I last participated in Fashion Week in the spring of 2013 before the rug was pulled out from under me. Everything I had worked so hard for had come to a screeching halt in the summer of 2013.

We can say that life happened. My health failed me. I found myself seemingly trapped in a horrible domestic violence situation. I was stuck in survival mode for so long. I was bedridden for the better part of over a decade from all the stress and trauma I had endured behind closed doors. I even had to learn to walk again to escape that situation. I had to do my version of witness protection, moving across the country and far away from the individual who had stalked me and threatened my life for years. I had a couple more relationships turn abusive after that, and I barely escaped with my life each time.

Fast forward to 2020, and I finally hit that point where enough was enough. I was ready to face my trauma and heal, but I honestly had no idea where to start or what to do. When the pandemic hit and we were locked down, thankfully, I moved back into a safe environment and began my healing journey. When I say healing journey, I mean that’s all I focused my energy and attention on. I dove head first into the spiritual, coaching & self-help industries. These were amazingly transformative times despite all the harsh lessons I had to learn. I dove head first into quantum energy healing, teaching classes about psychic abilities, telepathy, and telekinesis, performed exorcisms, and created subliminals, meditations & hypnosis tracks to see what was indeed humanly possible and what could be achieved.

Fast forward to recent times, I became an internationally certified Breathwork facilitator. I just launched a Breathwork subscription service, which I’m incredibly excited about as this will help as many people who want to show up for their healing. I still offer energy healings, spiritual mentorship, psychic medium services, quantum healings, exorcisms/entity removals & psychic surgeries. I also create multidimensional art, which some people call light codes. I channel my energy into art; the whole point is to make people’s days a bit brighter and relieve stress. I post these daily on my social media pages & have a subscription service available for anyone who wants to support me in continuing to create them.

I’m currently training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Life Coaching & Hypnotherapy. I want to focus on more grounded healing techniques in the future, especially things like Breathwork, where everyone who comes to me is ready, willing & able to show up for themselves and do the work to heal. I love being of service & want to do my part to improve the world. I love awakening people to their limitless potential, especially those who are escaping DV and traumatic situations. We have to be the lighthouse for others trapped in the vast darkness of trauma, not knowing where to go or where to start healing.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I’m an all-or-nothing kind of person. It’s going hard or go home with me in all areas of life. Having to survive abuse from such a young age until I broke the cycle of abuse with domestic violence at 32, my life has never been a walk in the park. I only showed the world all the good parts on social media over the years. Having to choose between life or death thousands of times over again is not something most people can fathom. I’ve had countless near-death experiences and had to decide to stay and fight for my life actively. Getting through the hurdles of being bedridden from autoimmune reactions to all the stress and dealing with Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, POTS & hyper-mobility was no easy feat. Still, I’m finally in a position where I can manage everything naturally and holistically.

Away from survival, there were so many harsh life lessons that had to be learned the hard way, how people pretend to have your best interests at heart or be a close friend, lover, family member, “mentor,” or “coach” only to turn around and show you that they had no love for you in the first place. They just wanted to use you for what they thought they could get out of you or thought they could manipulate and control you for their gain. This world can be cruel and unusual, but that only shows me those are not my people or my “tribe,” if you want to call it that. I’m looking for beautiful souls who want to make the world a better place while being authentic and doing their part to make the world we want to live in.

Thanks for sharing that. So, next, you can tell us more about your business.
I’m a multidimensional artisan, quantum healer, spiritual mentor, psychic medium, angel communicator, animal communicator, sound healer, & Breathwork facilitator. I’m mostly known for my Akash Anu light code meditation-videos, which I have also incorporated into my Breathwork sessions. I did this to stand out from all other Breathwork facilitators. This way, each client can stream the videos to their TVs and cleanse their home or office energies while breathing along with the sessions. Many people know me for my unique quantum healing modality, which I’ve cultivated for the last few years. I will eventually be launching training around this, but that’s a project set in the future. Although much of what I do and offer may be entirely out there for some people, I like to bring everything back down to grounded healing techniques.

I see a lot of people in the spiritual communities become engulfed in spiritual psychosis, and I make sure we steer clear of that happening. We cannot escape reality or the hurt & pain that we have endured; we have to move through it and process it to let it go and not be consumed by it successfully. I’m most proud of being able to show up authentically and help as many beautiful souls as possible. I’d love to let everyone know that no matter your financial standings, resources are available to help you on your journey. I have many free resources available to everyone and affordable subscription services, and my 1:1 sessions will be where the pricing starts to get more expensive to cover my time, energy, skills & knowledge. I have high-ticket pricing plans for those looking for that. There’s something for everyone; I’m just grateful to be of service. If I could suggest focusing on one thing, it would be the Breathwork subscription. If we come back into the breath, we can transform everything.

We’d love to hear what you think about risk-taking.
Taking risks is necessary in life. I took a huge risk moving to Chicago to go to college for fashion design years ago, not knowing anyone there. Was it terrifying moving to a vast city to pursue my dreams? Absolutely! I look at it this way: if you want to do something, you must do it. If opportunities arise that will take you farther, then take them. The most significant risk is not taking any and living with regret. I could have hidden myself for the rest of my life out of fear, but I might as well have taken the risk to live my life the way I wanted to. You need to dig deep for that courage and conviction to go after everything you want rather than worrying about what you don’t want. Ultimately, the choice is ours, and that’s the power we hold.
