She has studied extensively with shaman/teacher Don Jose Luis Herrera of Rainbow Jaguar Traditions.
Catherine has traveled several times to Peru to further her training under guidance from Don Jose, working with Indigenous shamans for teachings and initiations. Catherine was very fortunate to participate in teachings by Don Manuel Quispe, who was the former head of the Quero lineage. Unfortunately for us all, he has passed from this world. She has, under the direction of and alongside Don Jose, translated, worked and participated in Ceremony with many wonderful, wise and humble Shamans in Peru. These include Don Fransciso, Don Sebastian, Don Martin (who currently carries the medicine bundle, or Mesa as it is called, of Don Manuel), Don Adolfo, Dona Maria and Dona Bernadina. Catherine has had additional training with Don Juan Nunez del Prado on the left side teachings of Don Bennito Quoriwaman, who until his passing was an advanced Coastal Shaman , and teacher to Don Juan Nunez del Prado. And finally Catherine has been a student of the teachings of Carlos Castaneda and his teacher Don Juan Matus.
She has, over the course of many years, practiced Toltec Shamanic techniques, learned magical passes from his apprentices and studied dream work with another Toltec Shaman, Merilyn Tunneshende, who claims to be an apprentice of Don Juan Matus.
