Carol Debrot
Energy & Sound Healing Practitioner | Life Coach | Wellness Advocate
Carol’s connection to spirituality began at the age of 13, when she experienced a profound visitation from her departed grandfather. That early encounter awakened a lifelong curiosity about energy, the unseen realms, and the deeper dimensions of healing.
In her 30s, Carol joined the Umbanda spiritual tradition, where she more fully recognized and embraced her mediumship abilities and her natural gift for healing through the hands. This season of spiritual development strengthened her intuitive awareness and deepened her commitment to serving others through energy work.
After moving to the United States, Carol navigated a very challenging divorce — a life transition that ultimately led her to White Dove Circle, where she began studying and expanding her training in energy and sound healing modalities.
Carol brings warmth, compassion, and vibrant energy to her work. As a Brazilian native, she loves to dance, laugh, and celebrate life. She treasures time with her child and feels deeply called to assist others in reconnecting with their own strength, clarity, and inner light.
Carol is honored to support individuals on their healing journey with empathy, intuitive insight, and an open heart.

Cathy Feinauer
Board Member | Teacher | Energy, Sound, & Crystal Healing Practitioner | Life Coach | Wellness Advocate | Intuitive Reader
Cathy’s wellness journey began over a decade ago. Raised in a traditional Christian environment, she began to question long-held teachings and interpretations of sacred texts. Through deep self-study and inner exploration, she felt called toward a greater purpose and began seeking her own truth. That path ultimately led her to White Dove Circle — first as a student and seeker, and now as a devoted practitioner and guide.
Before entering the healing arts, Cathy spent 20 years in mortgage lending, including owning and operating a mortgage company in Blue Ash for several years. She counseled individuals and families on strategies to maximize their financial resources and build long-term stability and security — all while raising her three children as a single mother. This season of her life strengthened her resilience, compassion, and deep understanding of life’s practical and emotional challenges.
Today, Cathy is a Life Coach, Wellness Advocate, teacher, and intuitive healing practitioner dedicated to supporting others on their journey toward balance, clarity, and inner peace. Her areas of training and service include Access Bars®, Crystal Surgery, Cupping, Ear Candling, Intuitive Readings, Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy (QHHT®) Surrogate Sessions, Pranic Healing, Pressure Point Therapy with Reiki, Quantum Healing, Reiki, Sound & Tuning Fork Therapy, and SCIO/QXCI Biofeedback technology as part of integrative wellness support.
In her personal life, Cathy enjoys spending time with her husband, David, working on home projects, gardening, traveling, and creating meaningful experiences together.
Cathy considers it an honor to share her knowledge, compassion, and intuitive gifts to help others reconnect with their own wisdom and discover pathways to greater peace, empowerment, and well-being.

Jenny Henderson
Yoga Instructor | Owner/Essential Yoga & Wellness
Jenny’s yoga journey began 15+ years ago during a very stressful time full of turmoil and change. Finding yoga brought peace and light when it was needed most. Since then she has attended hundreds of hours of workshops all over the Midwest, practicing privately and in studio classes to refine her practice. In 2020, Jenny decided to formally further her study at Indigo Yoga’s 9-month teacher training program, leading ultimately to registration with the Yoga Alliance.
Her goal at the time was not to teach, just to learn. As Jenny progressed through training, the desire to bring yoga to her friends sparked and grew. Jenny mixes in a little laughter and fun into her classes while helping her students cultivate strength and awareness. Alignment and balance, both physical and mental, are the foundation of her practice and her teaching. Jenny lives in Springboro with her husband, delightfully spirited yogi daughter, and their two blue heelers.
