I absolutely love the Soulful Shout Out series here on Soul Speak! I get to highlight and introduce you to beautiful people and their wonderful offerings!
Today, I am happy to introduce you to my friend, Catherine Stevens from Your Healing Pathways!
Catherine and I have known each other online for a couple of years now, and I’ve had the pleasure of working with her one-on-one. She is an intuitive energy healer and spiritual coach who is passionate about helping her clients shift their perspective and expand their awareness. I’m happy that I get to introduce you to her here!
Catherine has created a wonderful free gift for you and a special offer, which we’ll share below as well!
Welcome to Soul Speak, Catherine! I would love for you to tell us more about yourself and your transformational journey!
Hi Jodi! I am so happy to be here! If I were to sum up my transformational journey in two words, it would be, “continuous evolution” or “continuous unfolding.”
Transformation is often thought of as a radical change, a makeover. But in my life’s experience it has been about a series of small changes and a commitment to be true to myself and deeply know myself. I have had a lot of turmoil in my life, the hardest being my husband’s passing last year, and my greatest challenge has been maintaining inner peace.
I was deeply intuitive as a child. I saw and knew many things that my parents could not see nor were willing to discuss. I ended up shutting down this part of myself for many years.
I had a 30-year career as an Elementary School Teacher, and I taught English as a second language to kindergarten, first, and second graders. Many of my students spoke languages that were not very common in the US (like Bosnian, Farsi, Somali). Many of my students were also non-verbal and had been traumatized when coming from a war-torn country.
Interestingly enough, it was my very work with these children that allowed me to bring forth my intuition and inner guidance to help them. I became very skilled at connecting with their energy and observing their responses to various activities.
In the late 80s, I began to practice the healing arts and give intuitive readings part time. I kept this separate from my teaching career, for fear of being criticized or called “woo-woo.” But in the last few years of my teaching career, many people knew I meditated, did Tarot, dowsed, and did distance healing.
When I retired in 2008, I launched my business, Your Healing Pathways, full time. I work entirely online and absolutely love it. I have had the opportunity to meet many people from around the world. which is so rewarding.
You were very brave to listen to your heart and following your soul’s calling – even when you knew that it may not be fully accepted and appreciated by those around you. What words of wisdom/advice can you offer for those who are reading this and are wanting to find this strength to take a similar leap?
My advice for anyone seeking to make changes would be to spend as much time knowing oneself. Meditation, guided visualization, and journaling are primary tools for connecting with your inner self. Learning about your unique blueprints, your astrology chart, and your Human Design chart can help you understand your energies, challenges, gifts, and desires.
I have found the study of metaphysical laws and principles very helpful through the writings of various Unity Ministers and Science of Mind practitioners. I have also found the writings and teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist Monk, very helpful in daily life practice.
Thank you for offering everyone your free White Light Meditation! Could you please share more about it?
I had been trying different forms of meditation and guided visualizations for years. I particularly liked creating my own healing visualizations. I wanted to create a meditation that was simple, yet effective in shifting energy. I shared my meditation with clients during their sessions and they encouraged me to record it to share with others.

Your energy scans sound fascinating, and I love that you’re offering them at a discount! Please share more about how they work!
Sure! Each cell of your body holds imprints of past and current thought patterns and emotions. These thoughts and emotions can create dis-harmony and dis-ease in your body mind spirit.
What this might look like is:
- Chronic physical pain
- Emotional overwhelm or anxiety
- Feeling disconnected from spirit
- Dissatisfied with relationships
- Seeking purpose in your life
During an energy scan healing session, I read your body’s message through your energy field. I facilitate clearing and processing energy blocks, which create new vibrations to allow the body to heal itself.

I’m truly sorry about your husband’s passing. My heart goes out to you in such a deep way. So many readers are currently experiencing grief, and, while I know that we all grieve in our own way, I wondered if you might share what is helping you through this heartbreaking experience.
I am actually just now emerging from a hiatus since his death. What I have been finding helpful is remembering to be in the present moment. I find the writings of Thich Nhat Hanh very inspiring and useful in putting this concept into daily practice. And it takes a lot of practice. I have also been blessed with support from friends and healers locally and online.
Know that I continue to send love to you always.
Could you please share with us what you soul wants you to know?
I am now at a new stage of unfolding and expansion. I am reconnecting with the Angels in deeper ways. As I continue my journey of growth, my soul wants me to know that I am never alone, I am always connected to spirit, and that everyone’s personal growth is part of the collective evolution of our souls.
What’s next on the horizon for you?
I am letting it unfold. I do have an intention to add new services to Your Healing Pathways in January 2016. And personally, I am open to exploring new activities and meeting new friends.
Thank you, Catherine, for sharing your heart with us!
Thank you, Jodi, for creating a space for connecting with other beautiful souls.
