My Story

Hello beautiful soul, and welcome.

I'm Rev. Catoree Aragona, Interfaith Minister and Ceremonial Officiant, though most people know me as Toree, Celebrant of Life.

I am the founder of Planting Soul Seedz, a space created from love, faith, healing, and the belief that every person carries seeds of wisdom, purpose, and transformation within them.

My journey into this work began long before I ever had a title or certification. I come from a lineage of root workers, healers, and spiritual practitioners whose wisdom has been passed down through generations. Growing up in South Central Los Angeles and later Compton, California, I experienced both beauty and hardship. Through loss, uncertainty, and life's many challenges, I often found myself searching for deeper meaning and connection.

One of the most transformative seasons of my life came when I became a mother at 18 years old. Feeling alone, overwhelmed, and unsure of my path, I turned to prayer. I spoke to God, Spirit, my ancestors, and the Divine, asking for guidance and a sign that my life had purpose. Not long after, I experienced a vivid dream that filled me with a sense of protection, peace, and knowing. It became a turning point one that reminded me that even in our darkest moments, we are never truly alone.

Since then, I have devoted myself to learning, healing, and serving others. For more than 10 years, I have studied and practiced mindfulness, breathwork, energy healing, chakra balancing, ancestral healing, Akashic Records, divination, house cleansing, and other spiritual teachings designed to help people reconnect with themselves and their own inner wisdom.

I am a Certified Mindfulness Facilitator, Certified Breathwork Facilitator, Certified Life Coach, Integrative Healing Arts Practitioner, Energy Worker, and Officiant, but my greatest teachers have been my lived experiences, my ancestors, my children, and the countless souls I have had the privilege of supporting along the way.

When I'm not holding space for others, you'll find me spending time with my incredible spouse, my two beautiful children, tending to my ever-growing collection of plants, or caring for the many animals that make up our little "mini zoo."

At the heart of everything I do is a simple belief: healing is not about becoming someone new it is about remembering who you have always been.

Whether our paths cross through ceremony, energy work, breathwork, spiritual guidance, or simply a meaningful conversation, it is my honor to walk beside you for a part of your journey.

Together, we'll nurture the seeds already planted within your soul and create space for them to bloom.

My Story

Hi, I'm Netty.

I was born and raised in San Francisco, California, in a Filipino household as the youngest of five children. Healing has always been a part of my life. Coming from a lineage of Filipino healers and shamans, I grew up watching my elders practice Hilot, a traditional Filipino healing art. I was fascinated by their ability to work with the body, energy, and spirit, and deep down I always knew that helping others heal was part of my path.

My journey, however, was not always an easy one. At the age of 14, I lost my grandmother, one of the most important people in my life. The grief of that loss led me down a difficult road filled with anger, disconnection, addiction, and struggles that took me far away from the person I was meant to become.

In 2016, I met my spouse and became a step-parent, and in 2019 we welcomed our daughter into the world. While these blessings brought me purpose and hope, I still found myself battling anxiety, unresolved trauma, and patterns that affected both my life and the people I loved most.

Everything changed in 2023. During one of the darkest moments of my life, I found myself sitting alone in a parking lot, questioning my worth and my place in this world. Through the tears and exhaustion, one truth became clear: I wanted to live. That moment became the beginning of my healing journey.

Since then, I have dedicated myself to reconnecting with my roots, embracing my imperfections, honoring my grief, and healing one step at a time. Through mindfulness, Reiki, spiritual practice, and a deeper connection with nature, I discovered that healing isn't about becoming someone new—it's about remembering who you truly are.

Today, as a Healing Arts Practitioner and Reiki Practitioner, my mission is simple: to create a compassionate and supportive space where others can feel seen, heard, and empowered on their own healing journey. I want people to know that no matter how lost, broken, or overwhelmed they may feel, it is never too late to reconnect with themselves, find their purpose, and move forward with trust, hope, and love.

I look forward to connecting, growing, and walking alongside you on your path to healing.
