Sacred Transitioning

A practice held close to her heart

Over more than a decade with Panthera Africa's big cats and other animals, Cathrine has walked alongside and supported many transitions — a practice she holds very dear. It is an honor to bring that same depth of peace, safety, and presence to you, your animal, or your loved one in this last phase of life.

What happens

The work is fundamentally energetic: a deep connection, prepared and held with deep respect, honor, and care, that can be joined by physical presence when geography allows.

For animals — Cathrine becomes a clear, extended voice between animal and human. There is often so much emotion, uncertainty, fear, and doubt in this phase of life, and Cathrine's intention is to bring clarity and confidence to the humans, and so the animal can be met with peace rather than fear. Often there are heartfelt messages to be shared between animal and human, and questions can be gently explored — so that both animal and human are supported toward peace and acceptance at this last stage of life.

For people — this support is offered with the intention of assisting in three ways: helping to ease fear toward a feeling of safety, peace, and acceptance; supporting the remembrance of our oneness with love itself; and offering space to release attachment and unresolved emotion through forgiveness, gratitude, and simply being met with absolute acceptance. Every person and every journey is different, and this work is offered as support toward that intention.

What this offers

Death is the one certainty of life, and yet it is so often met with a huge amount of fear. Cathrine's work is offered in service of transforming that fear into peace — and, when one truly understands and remembers this oneness — that only love is real — a profound feeling of freedom can be felt. A liberation from the old, tired body, and a knowing that what comes next is simply a homecoming for the soul, again uniting fully with the one Great Love.

Who it's for

Anyone with an animal in their final stage of life. Anyone approaching their own transition and wanting support. Family members who want their loved one — human or animal — held gently through this passage, wherever in the world they are.
