Meet Katie McBrien
(@theseashaman)
For most of my life, I sensed things I couldn’t explain. Spirits seemed to find me wherever I went, yet for many years I didn’t understand why. It wasn’t until I discovered compassionate spirit release that everything finally clicked into place. I realized I wasn’t simply communicating with spirits—I was being called to help them.
Today I am a practicing shaman, rescue medium, author, and creator of The Lighthouse Method™, a compassionate framework for helping lost spirits find their way home. Through my teachings, books, readings, and courses, I help spiritually sensitive people develop their gifts with confidence, discernment, and strong energetic boundaries.
My work combines decades of spiritual study with practical experience in spirit communication, spirit release, energy healing, and shamanic practice. Whether you’re just beginning your spiritual journey or deepening an existing practice, my goal is to provide grounded guidance that helps you navigate the unseen world safely and confidently.
I call the suburbs of Philadelphia home, where I live with my son, two quirky cats, and a few frogs. When I’m not immersed in spiritual work, you’ll usually find me reading, playing video games, or tinkering with web design.
My passion is sharing the knowledge and experiences I’ve gathered over the years and helping others discover that they are far more capable, connected, and intuitive than they realize.
