Hi,

For many years I have had a dream about opening a wellness center. A community driven center for people to embrace disciplines of both alternative wellness AND western medicine.

I have envisioned a large Craftsman house in Pasadena (always a good investment), and I have envisioned this center as a non-profit (501-c3) entity. Being a chartable enterprise has many benefits – especially for the investors I need in order to begin the sojourn.

Please read the proposal if you have a chance. And please send any opinions or thoughts.

My email is tricky, so don’t give up if you email me. You can always text 626.755.7198 and tell me I have an email to read. It is sadly that difficult for me. I have five addresses to check for emails and try as I might, this doesn’t change. At the moment I have 98,780 unread emails. It just sucks.

I have 15 social media platforms and I am only now learning how to use them. Hey, it takes what it takes!

Give the attached a read. I would appreciate it.

Love, Gopita

Pasadena Wellness Center: A Revolutionary Approach to Total Health

Body is a reflection of mind. We cannot treat the body without treating the mind, and vice versa. Nor can we treat the body and mind without addressing the spirit.

The world is fast paced. People want answers and they want them now. But few understand that healing and wellness are much more than the remission of a disease.

Healing can be a dynamic part of one’s life which includes spiritual practice, medical and/or alternative intervention, psychotherapy, nutrition, and learning how to rest. To really rest.

An integrative approach to healing within a wellness-focused community can provide both a supportive environment, as well as valuable education as individuals navigate changes and make informed choices about their healthcare and mental well-being.

“Gopita” Katharine Manning

I have over 35 years of experience in healing work, supported by extensive training across a wide range of disciplines. These include Psychotherapy, Kinesiology, Energy Healing, Spiritual Counseling, Hypnotherapy, Nutrition, and the transformative Work of Byron Katie. Additionally, I have been a dedicated meditation teacher for 30 years. My certifications and licenses in each of these protocols reflect my commitment to professional excellence.

My website, www.SouthernFriedSpirituality.com, provides a comprehensive overview of my work, including details on my training, published articles, and books. It also serves as a hub for my growing mailing list, which continues to expand weekly. I am known sometimes as someone who imbibes crazy wisdom. I can be known to have my clients go from a psychoanalytic couch into the kitchen to learn about an alkalizing tea, then return to hop on my healing table for an energy balance.

I manage a YouTube channel www.YouTube/southernfriedspirituality.com
where I share recent podcasts and videos that delve into the nature of my work. In addition, I maintain several Instagram accounts where I share reflections, insights, and glimpses into my personal life. My Facebook presence includes both my primary profile—listed as “Gopita Katharine Manning”—and two business pages: “Southern Fried Spirituality” and “Katie Law Goodwin.”

For my literary pursuits, I maintain an author’s website www.KatieLawGoodwin.com that features my 2014 book, *First Kill All the
Lawyers: In Pro Per*. I am currently working on two new books, *The Head Click* and *Me ‘n Noodle*, the latter focusing on rehoming racing greyhounds. A third book, *The Busy Yogi and Yogini’s Guide to Some of Those Sanskrit Terms*, is already complete.

Vision

The vision is to create a community dedicated to wellness, where healing, education, and connection are integrated to encourage positive changes. The plan includes establishing a large house in Pasadena with a lending library, a sizable dining room suitable for lectures and meals, and a professional kitchen for teaching and providing nutritious meals, using local fruits and vegetables.

The space should include 4-5 treatment rooms for protocols like shiatsu, massage, acupuncture, counseling, yoga, and other health approaches. Weekly wellness lectures will feature diverse practitioners such as medical doctors, rabbis, Buddhist monks, massage therapists, Chinese Medicine practitioners and energy healers. We will offer varied perspectives on health and wellness.

A focus on spirituality will be first and foremost, as it is the
most important protocol for healing. In fact, it is primarily
the only protocol manifested in various disciplines of
expression in my practice.

Marketing

Marketing is the lifeblood of any new venture. A dedicated marketing team would create a website for the Community, as well as create and monitor all social media: email marketing lists, Podcasts, Videos, Facebook and Instagram.

Recent testimonials:

“I don’t know how this works; but having been blessed with Katharine Manning as my therapist for the last two years has not only benefited me in ways unimaginable, but my entire family has also changed for the better.

Even the dog smiles and talks about God!

She is unorthodox, fearless, brilliant and never talks down to me – as it has been my experience with other psychologists in the past. She assumes we are all smart and hunger for spiritual depth – so she takes us there! I am so grateful I cannot express it! Thank you! Thank you!"

Energy Medicine Healing with Gopita Instead of Surgery

Testimonial
June 2025

I am a man in his mid-60’ who’s active life of sports and related injuries coupled with poor posture is catching up with me. I have been going to Gopita for energy work for a few years now. She consistently amazes me with her energy work. Her techniques put me “back together” and whatever pain I may be feeling just seems to dissipate. One thing I love about Gopita is she takes the time to explain what she is doing including the science behind it and writes down points that I can hold and exercises I can do on my own.

Recently I was suffering with excruciating knee pain that was limiting my mobility. I was ready to go to the Orthopedic surgeon and request knee replacement surgery when I mentioned to Gopita what was going on. She got me on the table and after a few minutes suggested that I may have osteoarthritis. She then worked on me for almost an hour. When I left my knee was feeling much better. The next morning, I woke up and it was miraculous! My knee felt the best it has been in years. I continue to hold the points Gopita suggested. She is truly a gifted, talented healer and I would not hesitate to have her work her magic on me again and again.
