About Me

Kathryn Needham is an author, healer, and spiritual mentor. She spent the last six years healing her deepest emotional wounds and traumas, from childhood through a 12-year marriage, to the more recent death of her mother. By facing the unhealed, forgotten, and repressed parts of herself (“shadows “), she experienced profound inner healing and gained a new level of awareness about herself and the world. 

It inspired her to write Healing Through Shadow Work, the first book of its kind to approach shadow work through a spiritual lens, while providing a simple framework for doing it. Kathryn’s intention is to serve and uplift humanity by providing the tools to help people discover their own unique spiritual path.

A 30-year devotee of Sathya Sai Baba, Kathryn spent many years traveling to India, inspired by his simple message of “love all, serve all." She served as a leader in the Sai Baba Center of Hollywood and helped lead the young adult program. 

Kathryn holds a B.S. in Technical Writing from Carnegie Mellon University and spent over 25 years in corporate America as a technical writer, trainer, manager, and coach. Kathryn currently lives in Charlotte, NC with her daughter and two cats, Charlie and Lola.
