She became interested in reincarnation and yoga philosophy in her twenties when she moved to Ananda, a yoga community in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California.
For thirty-plus years she has continued her studies under the guidance of Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda (the great spiritual master and author of the classic, Autobiography of a Yogi). An author and minister, Catherine has given hundreds of lectures on yoga philosophy, reincarnation, and history in the United States and in Europe.
Catherine received the inspiration to write a book based on Yogananda’s statement that he was William the Conqueror in a past life, and Kriyananda’s belief that he had been William’s son, Henry I of England. Catherine has had a lifelong interest in medieval history, and she was deeply impressed by the evidence she uncovered during her ten years of research.view less
