Our History
Spiritual Niagara was created June 1st, 2009 based on a dream that Kathy Upper had compelling her to help others find the spiritual services they were looking for. Kathy wanted to connect people to the holistic services and practitioners their souls were seeking.
14 years later and with 60 members at its peak, Spiritual Niagara has not only created its own community in our local region and beyond, it has fostered many amazing connections that continue to grow, thrive and are having a positive influence and impact in our world.
Our Mission
Our mission is to bridge the gap between holistic and spiritual businesses and their clients by providing comprehensive support services that enhance the client’s online experience. We strive to empower these businesses with the tools and resources needed to reach and connect with their audience, through event promotion, effective marketing, content creation, industry insights and cutting-edge technology.

Kathy Upper
Consulting visionary
Kathy Upper was employed by Niagara College for 27 years where she worked as an Employment Counsellor and Workshop Facilitator. She maintained the centre’s social media and website.
While working at the college in 2009, Kathy created Spiritual Niagara to assist others in locating the spiritual services they were seeking. She also wrote and compiled Spiritual Niagara Insights magazine, and published and event calendar. Her most favourite role was meeting with every potential member.
After undergoing surgery in 2012, she had to leave her position at the college and ask for help for Spiritual Niagara due to new limits on how much she was able to do. She’s glad she followed her intuitive nudges, and is grateful for all the team members that have assisted with Spiritual Niagara throughout the years.
In her new role as the Consulting Visionary for Spiritual Canada, Kathy will continue to provide ideas, guidance and support to the team for the visions of the future.
