Mystery school students are encouraged to consider Katrina Messenger as a clergy resource for emergencies and rites of passage. Katrina maintains a separate spiritual counseling and coaching practice with hourly rates beyond the individual student meetings required. Katrina does not offer psychological or pastoral counseling, as she is not licensed, nor qualified to offer such services.
