Kate McCabe

Kate is the creator of Sacred Heart Sonora, a plant medicine guide, and an integration specialist dedicated to the living medicine of Bufo Alvarius. She is currently completing a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and holds a certification as an MFTT. Her work bridges modern psychology, shamanic wisdom, and psychedelic therapy, offering compassionate intake and integration support for clients on transformational journeys.

Since 2018, Kate has held ceremonial space in over 1,300 Bufo Alvarius ceremonies, cultivating deep expertise through direct experience. Her path has been shaped by years of personal practice and by training alongside respected pioneers of the medicine, including physicians and traditional carriers.

Kate is also a devoted advocate for Sonoran Desert Toad Conservation and the ethical collection of medicine. For the past four summers, she has led conservation efforts at Rancho Bufo Alvarius in Magdalena de Kino, Sonora, helping to raise awareness and protect the sacred toad population. Her work has been featured in documentaries by VICE, Channel 4, and Strg_F.

Kate’s approach is rooted in reverence, service, and the belief that healing is most profound when guided by both heart and integrity.
