Return to the sacred, wildness within

Catie Macken is a passionate, intuitive guide and embodied leader creating transformative groups and 1:1 experiences uniting the herd, nature, cosmos, and breath. She lives and works in Topanga Canyon, California. With a deep appreciation for the power of ritual and intentional living, Catie invites you into deeper intimacy with yourself and your life.

How we work

Sessions are a co-creation with the herd, land, elements, animals, birds, Spirit, the client and myself.

  • In person healing breathwork session surrounded by the medicine of the herd.

  • Intuitive Guidance

  • Constellations support in clearing or creating clarity by observing elements, patterns, and systems. The intention is to cultivate self awareness and open the flow of energy. Constellations can focus on career/business guidance, family healing, relationship challenges, creative stagnation, connection to self, or a certain pattern of resistance that shows up repeatedly. The horses and nature are co-creators in the experience.

  • 1:1 Mentorship is an opportunity to deepen your relationship to yourself through an intentional container. A minimum of two sessi create clarity, build energetic capacity, align with values, and reignite purpose. These sessions are multidimensional and will address your individual needs and intentions. Astrology, tarot, breathwork, ceremony, ritual, and embodiment work may be brought forward in these monthly sessions.

  • We’ll set an intention for the work together based on your current situation and focus on where you’d like to release energy, unblock yourself from patterns, or open your self up to more expansive energy. Breathwork is a focused rhythmic breathing meditation that stimulates energy in the body. Anything that is held in the body such as anger, fear, sadness, grief, depression can be moved through with the breath. The breath will move to the areas where the energy is stagnant or stuck, stimulate the energy and move it out of the body to be processed and released. You will have their own unique experience. Breathwork can help to release daily stress or anxiety, enhance creativity, create awareness of self, and ground you in the present moment.

  • The Coven is a seasonal container for women who are leaders in their industry, masters of their craft, and in service to the collective. Each season, a new cohort will form around a centralized theme, guided by the cosmos. At the Summer Solstice, we enter into the nourishing waters of the astrological sign of Cancer. Water signs teach us emotional processing and empathy, their prime function is to feel. We will explore our sensitivities and learn to sense the subtle energy that exists beyond our physical world.

    The sessions will focus on depth of intimacy and connection with yourself, while simultaneously celebrating the bond between women. The Coven is a safe space to be see, witnessed, known in your totality. To emerge from behind your stories and embody the inherent wisdom that lives within your bones.

The medicine of the horse

One of the greatest gifts horses give us is their presence. Being held by the medicine of the herd shifts you out of linear, logical thinking and into the realm of intuition, embodiment and feeling.

Horses are a bridge to reflect where we have disconnected from our true nature — bodies, hearts, and the Earth. A session with the herd expands awareness and offers insights into your interactions with yourself and your life.

TOGETHER, WE’ll

Create practical rituals for everyday life that inspire you to see life as a gift.

  • "The Coven is so transformative and beautiful. It is the greatest gift I've given myself. I've spent decades trying to "fix" myself from multiple mental health diagnoses, several traumatic experiences, too many chronic illnesses to count with years of intensive therapy, throwing myself into a career in finance, and a long journey of sobriety. My body, mind and spirit were trying to speak to me, I was on the wrong path. My attempts at healing moved the needle a bit, but nothing has cracked me wide open like working with Catie. I got so much out of the Winter season that I continued with Spring. I am finally healing old wounds and connecting with my truest self and my purpose. I am at a turning point in my life with a lot of decisions to make and am leaning into this work to guide me and most importantly listen to the messages the universe has for me. Old wounds from trauma are lifting to make way for something new, my relationship to money is changing, and I am embracing my inner child, helping me have fun along the way."

  • "Catie is one of the best intuitive guides I have ever worked with. She has a gift for holding space, and identifying key recurring themes to help you grow and flourish. Catie was a major influence in transforming my relationship with many different facets of my life — personal, business, and beyond. All things magical and intuitive aside, Catie is incredibly professional. The effort she puts into preparing for each session has never ceased to amaze me. She's dedicated, compassionate, and it's a gift to know her. "

  • "Breathwork with Catie was a once in a life time experience that I didn’t know I was missing. I went into it with an open mind and was astounded at how my body and mind responded during and after the practice. I’ve done 10+ years of yoga training and have done workshops with teachers all over the world…and yet…this was the first time I felt my body physically release the deep rooted fear and story from a traumatic birth experience three years prior. Catie’s presence as a guide—combined with her confidence, grace, and patience—is what makes this experience an unforgettable practice you didn’t know you needed. If the body indeed keeps the score, this breathwork was a way to clear the tab and begin again as a new person."

    - Nikki L., Cleveand, OH

  • "Catie is a gifted guide, channel, and translator of soul messages. I have had several readings of my akashic recordings and worked with intuitives for years. Often I find the sessions helpful, but vague without much integration. Working with Catie felt different -- her insights were deep, clarifying and practical. Throughout our session she checked in with me and my guides and was able to offer relevant perspectives and guidance to help me through a major life transition. What she shared has stuck with me as I continue to integrate and I have come back to her words and messages often. I recommend Catie to anyone who is interested in expanding their perspective of what's possible or available to them. She has a grounded and pragmatic approach to the mystical that is accessible and relevant for anyone seeking guidance."

  • "My partner and I met with Catie for a Couple’s Reading to mark our 10 year anniversary. Through her clear expertise in this method, she deepened our awareness of conscious patterns within ourselves and within our relationship, and she also gave voice to themes that we had inklings of, but couldn’t yet put words to. She made space for questions, laughter, discussion, and it flowed organically between individual insight and awareness of our relationship. We could feel her grounded energy, which in turn helped us feel held. We still have not stopped talking about the awareness we gained and how we felt strikingly seen by Catie, and we both feel energized by how we can use this information to grow together. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

  • "This was one of the most supportive and informative astrological readings I've ever had. It helped to give me focus and support and completely validated the things I've been feeling and going through. She gave incredible support and advice on how to navigate through the current season of life and also told me my strengths and how I can lean into them. Many astrologers use a lot of fear when it comes to crunchy aspects or times. I never once felt anxious, only supported in the info she provided."

  • "I was so lucky to have been guided by Catie through a deeply transformative energetic shift in my life.

Her work is multidisciplinary and expansive, both ancient and modern. She is a true guide."

    - Vanessa H., NYC

  • "Catie offered affirming and intuitive counsel that helped me build awareness around what I desire in my life and of how to get there. Embodiment was at the center of our work together. With Catie's guidance, I feel empowered to embrace care for myself often, to take on new practices, and to integrate what I learn. I am connected now to my innate wisdom more than ever. I am confident that I can turn to any of the rituals she has offered to center and fortify myself, no matter what I encounter along my path. Her guidance and support will undoubtedly change your life."

    - Stella C., Springdale, UT

  • "Catie is a brilliant teacher and guide who truly lives the practices she shares. Her embodiment is a testimony to it. I feel her full heart every time we meet. It feels like she is truly there with me in my experience and I always feel a shift after each experience. The change occurs within me, but it is in the way she guides and holds the space that profoundly anchors it into my being. She is a strong channel for this wisdom and has a way of guiding the body, the mind and the spirit to a level unlike ever before.”

    - Jaclyn P., Sioux City, IA

  • “I have encountered many healers, mystics, and witches - without a doubt that Catie is by far the best I've ever experienced. She’s given me many readings and I’m always amazed by her wisdom, insights, and ability to interpret the cards in a way that is tangible and useful. I always turn to Catie when I have a big shift in my life or am seeking counsel on how to navigate uncharted territory. She is a master at reading the cards and so down to earth and approachable that I feel safe and supported in all of our sessions."

    - Felipe G., Los Angeles, CA

  • “Working 1:1 with Catie has been such an empowering experience. I reached out to her about intuition coaching and she was able to take the gibberish in my mind, put it into language that resonated with me, and gave me tangible, lifelong tools. To me, Catie is the definition of next level and if you’re ready to do the work to level up yourself, I could not recommend her more!”

  • “Catie mindfully and skillfully holds space and guides the room through a transformative journey - complete with music, movement, breath work, mantras and meditation. The energy we create together as a group - palpable. I left class feeling physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually renewed! Simultaneously lighter and in my power. Her classes are a breath of fresh air (literally!) and a must for anyone curious about exploring and expanding into their best self!

    - Kat. P, Boston, MA

  • “Catie helped clarify my intentions for a retreat. She quickly distilled my intentions to a couple of keywords and elaborated in real, human English. She made the spiritual and esoteric totally relatable, tangible. I felt genuinely and deeply cared for. Afterwards, she scheduled an integration phone call and again had incisive and meaningful words. This testimonial can't do justice to the gratitude I feel for Catie's help. Her gifts of insight, intuition, and her stunning ability to turn that into plain language got me into the perfect mind frame to have a life changing experience.”
