Katia is a woman who is redefining herself and her relationships. This process is born out of her need to follow her own truth in a way that is authentic, honest, compassionate, and focused on self-love. This important dedication for self-love is paramount for Katia as a single mother and provides her the opportunities to feel fulfilled and whole as a woman and as a person. She feels that in doing this, when energy gets scattered or frantic, she can return to herself, with self-love, and that is enough. She is enough. Having been born in Peru, and being from a Latin culture, even though things are changing, she remains steadfast in her beliefs that self-care is valid, that women can be empowered, and that the voices of women and children deserve to be heard. Often asked for her opinion by those closest to her, Katia knows that she offers fresh perspectives, new insights, and non-judgmental points of view on issues facing she and her fellow Sisters today. Katia also loves being herself and going with the flow. When she has the freedom to allow life to be what it is, she feels at peace and harmony with the world around her. Katia way-shows this for her two children. Allowing them to witness her authenticity as she parents from a place of mutual respect, Katia in turn, offers them the opportunity to learn compassion for themselves and others. She feels especially connected to her Soul-to-Sisterhood crystal, Cinnabar. She takes comfort in Cinnabar’s medicine that “all truly is in ‘Divine Timing’… and to allow things to be as they are so that the highest lessons may come forward.” She is honored to be a part of the Soul-to-Sisterhood project and is excited to think that her story will offer hope and support to the women who read the book. She lives by the quote: “I treat myself and others with respect, recognizing the inherent divinity in all people. When my energy becomes scattered, I come home to my source and the primary relationship with myself.”
