Kathy (Kat) Wilcox is a Certified Clinical Aromatherapist,  Usui Reiki Master Practitioner/Teacher, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor,  RYT-200 Yin and Hatha Yoga Teacher, and Tarot Reader. 

 

Counseling has been Kat’s first love since she majored in psychology as an undergraduate at Clarkson University in the late 1980s.  She later obtained a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Clark University in 1991, and a Master’s Degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from Gallaudet University in 1997.  She has been a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor for over 20 years, working primarily with Transition-Age Youth in high school and college settings.

 

Kat completed her initial Aromatherapy certification in 2019 through Heart of Herbs.  Since that time, she has continued her studies through additional coursework with the Tisserand Institute, Stillpoint Aromatics, Salvatore Battaglia, Madeleine Kerkhof, Jane Lawson, and The School for Aromatic Studies.  Her area of specialization is Subtle Aromatherapy for the mind, emotions, and spirit.

 

Kathy completed her initial Tarot training through classes with Patricia Daley Lawn in 2001.  She practiced reading for family and friends for many years before completing a year-long mentorship under former Reader and Psychic Richard Tenace in 2020, shortly before his untimely passing.  Kat has been reading professionally since that time; and has continued her training by attending the Masters of Tarot workshop at Omega Institute in July of 2022 with instructors Mary K. Greer, T. Susan Chang, Nancy Hendrickson, and Jenna Matlin.  She is continuing to hone her skill in both practical reading and the esoteric side of Tarot through ongoing coursework with Jenna and Susie.

 

Reiki was Kat’s most recent addition to her practice in the healing arts. She began her Reiki studies in 2018; and completed her Level III Reiki Master Certification in February of 2021 under Usui Master Sarah Pickard.  Since that time, she has served both as a practitioner and a teacher, offering Attunement classes for level I and II students.

 

Kat is a multi-modal practitioner who often combines disciplines when she is assisting her clients. She has found that a holistic approach is often more effective than utilizing any one modality on its own.  Her Reiki sessions and Tarot readings generally include aromatic recommendations for support as well as breathing and meditation practices borrowed from Yoga. She believes in empowering her clients to make lifestyle changes to align with living their true potential and best lives. 

 

Kat has a small healing arts center just outside of Potsdam where she holds individual consultations and private sessions, workshops, classes, and Reiki Shares.  She is also employed by the New York State Department of Education as a Rehabilitation Counselor.  In her spare time, she plays the piano and studies violin; parents a creative and magickal neurodivergent son; and creates new aromatic products.  She is working on developing an Aromatherapy Tarot deck.
