About Katherine

Katherine Anne

Kaplan

Katherine Anne Kaplan is the only person in the world to have completed a private, one-year research assignment with Dr. Robert J. Gilbert — Founder of the Vesica Institute and world leading Vibrational Scientist — studying the transmutation of energy with crystals. Her credentials also span training with some of the world's foremost teachers of Chinese Medicine, shamanism, and Celtic wisdom, six years being trained and initiated as a Celtic Medicine Woman living in Ireland in direct relationship with the land, its ancestors, and the spirit of the natural world, and a formal appointment as a Guide of the Sacred Center of Ireland — all built on a foundation forged by a near-death experience and a life devoted to the deepest possible study of energy, healing, and the invisible world.

Katherine Anne Kaplan

A Turning Point

A Near-Death

Experience

At a pivotal moment in her life, Katherine had a near-death experience and consciously journeyed to what she describes as the afterlife — and returned. She describes the experience as crossing a threshold and entering a void, a completeness in eternity, and came back with expanded levels of perception — having gained a direct, embodied understanding of what she describes as the multidimensional nature of reality.

The experience made her work precise. She returned with a deep conviction that the energetic field of a person, a space, or a piece of land may be as real and as workable as anything visible to the eye.

The Foundation

Unparalleled

Expertise

Katherine is the only person in the world to have completed a private, one-year research assignment with Dr. Robert J. Gilbert — Founder of the Vesica Institute and world leading Vibrational Scientist — studying the transmutation of energy with crystals. Dr. Gilbert also directly trained her in BioGeometry, Vibrational Science, Spiritual Science, and the spiritual technology of crystals, applying these principles to the healing of the personal aura and environmental energy fields.

She trained in Daoist Stone Medicine under Jeffrey Yuen — an 88th-generation Daoist priest and the world's leading teacher of Chinese Medicine — and was taught healing and shamanic practice by Nicki Scully — a world-leading female Shaman — and received a private 1:1 High Priestess initiation from her.

A series of deep initiatory encounters with some of the greatest living holders of these healing lineages — each one a direct transmission, each one earned.

Six Years in Ireland

The Land and

the Elder's Teaching

Of all the paths Katherine has walked, none has shaped her more profoundly than the six-year intensive training and initiation she undertook as a Celtic Medicine Woman, living in Ireland under the tutelage of a local Elder Mentor — in direct relationship with the land, its ancestors, and the spirit of the natural world.

At the same time, she was formally certified as a Practitioner of Celtic Shamanism by renowned Celtic Shaman Martin Duffy — and was then honoured to be initiated and appointed as a Guide of the Sacred Center of Ireland.

When Katherine reads a space for geopathic stress lines or detrimental earth energies, she draws on a quality of perception developed over years of embodied relationship with the living earth itself.

The Work Today

Bringing It All

Into Service

Katherine now brings all of this into a practice that may serve homes, people, and places across the world. She specialises in the healing of energy fields — personal, environmental, and land — drawing on a body of training that is, in its specific combination, unique in the world.

Through Kalikara Crystals, Katherine offers home and land healing — working directly with environments and the earth to potentially clear, repair, and restore the energy field of a space. The crystal grid kits bring this work into your own hands. For personal energy field healing, visit KA Method.

She is the Founder of KA Method® — a light healing modality — is the author of Inner Illumination: A Pilgrimage Within to Remember Who You Are, and is an accredited Practitioner of Holistic Medicine with the IPHM. Kalikara Crystals is the culmination of this life's work — brought back to you after years of deepening, refining, and walking the initiatory path in Ireland. Individual results may vary.

The Name

Kalikara

Sanskrit + Gaeilge  ·  kali + kara

Kalikara means 'friend of the liberating darkness.' In every offering Katherine brings, there is an invitation to move into the depths of your inner world — not as a place to fear, but as a place where the most profound transformation becomes possible.

You may enter an experience, be guided into the depths of your inner world to create profound shifts, and emerge renewed. This is the quality of the space Katherine holds — for people, and for the homes and land she heals.

The one who guides you through the threshold and back into the light.
