Kate Croft – Shamanic Healer & Educator
About Me
I am a full-time Spiritual Teacher, Practitioner, and Healer, having walked alongside teachers and wisdom keepers from many spiritual traditions around the world.
For more than 25 years as a Registered Massage Therapist, my path has been one of deep listening — through my hands, through presence, and through the quiet intelligence held within the body. Over time, this listening has revealed the subtle ways the body carries memory, energy, and the stories held within.
Over the decades, I have devoted myself to the sacred art of touch, continually studying and integrating healing modalities that honour the deep connection between body, mind, and spirit. Each training has become a thread, gently weaving together the work I offer.
My path of training, service, and personal healing through trauma and loss has opened a deeper awareness of both connection and separation — within ourselves, with one another, and with the living Earth. Along the way, I came to recognize the quiet grief I carried, woven through ancestral lineages shaped by unresolved hardship.
These experiences have deepened my capacity to sit with suffering and to witness the tender unfolding of intergenerational wounding and healing. I have long felt attuned to the sorrows of our world, and at times to the collective and ecological grief that moves through our time — yet within it, I continue to listen for the quiet currents of healing, remembrance, and return.
Now, I step fully into the role I have long been preparing for — bringing experience, intuition, and intention into a unified and deeply restorative practice.
I am honoured to join Ferris Health Centre from the very beginning of its journey, introducing a new healing modality to central Alberta.
I believe healing begins when the nervous system remembers safety. Within a field of calm presence and conscious touch, the body slowly softens, releasing what it no longer needs and returning to its natural rhythm.
Through a gentle weaving of sound therapy, therapeutic touch, presence, and the warmth of crystals, the body is invited to remember its own intelligence — allowing weary nervous systems to settle, restore, and come back into balance.
I have been afraid, I have doubted myself and have made mistakes over and over again, while learning that I am not special or different. What I have learned is how to quiet my mind and temper my ego, how to be present to the moment while keeping my heart open and allowing.
With tears in my eyes I remember all of the listeners who came before me. All those who have carried these sacred medicine traditions along the hands for so many generations.”
