atherine Dougherty was born and grew up in San Francisco, California. Prior to her current lifestyle/career she was in sales and marketing with a Fortune 500 company for 14 years. Catherine currently lives in Golden, CO a lovely community in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Catherine had a near death experience (NDE) in 1995 while living in Virginia Beach, VA that precipitated dramatic changes in her life, from spiritual "downloads" to healing. The NDE itself was life changing, however what happened in conjunction with the NDE was nothing short of remarkable. This NDE recreated Catherine and developed a format for the work she offers today. Catherine has been a healer for 16 years. The healings and medical intuitive readings have been remarkable to date. Much of the work Catherine does is developed from the "downloads", with the exception of certified work. Catherine's health crisis from the NDE precipitated a search for the right medical model to support healing and wellness. What Catherine discovered was a more hands-on and holistic approach to wellness was needed based upon her NDE. And what followed was a journey into healing arts, like no other. Catherine's résumé contains certified work in Touch For Health®, Educational Kinesiology® and Brain Gym®, for developmental and learning challenges, head injury, and stroke. This work benefits many walks of life and situations for better balance, improved memory and concentration. In addition, Catherine is a Reiki Master/Teacher, certified in Vortex Healing® Divine Energy Healing, and a member of The Johrei® Fellowship. Catherine offers classes and attunements, with HIV/AIDS and Stage 4 patients receiving Special Attunements and specific mentoring. Testimonies for healing and Catherine's proprietary herbal formulas are available on her website locations: www.TheNaturalSage.com and www.TheNaturalSage.com/herbalindex.asp Catherine has also been a guest on FM radio in Virginia which she enjoys tremendously. Like many other people who have been touched by spirit, Catherine is a different person from prior to the NDE, and the life she leads is not what she had expected to have, nor even anticipated. Catherine's life is serendipitous and at times miraculous. Catherine takes it for granted now, however in the first years after the NDE the experiences she had were almost hard to believe, had it not been for friends and family around her to witness them. - www.thenaturalsage.com
