“I have worked with many different therapeutic practitioners over the years and I can say that Catherine was one of the most present, compassionate, and generous listeners I have ever worked with.

I found her to be warm, authentic, relatable and genuine. I found myself looking forward to our sessions and felt safe to share what was on my heart with her.

The embodiment tools she offered allowed me to slow down and feel what was really going on in my body both in session and out. I highly recommend working with Catherine.”

“Working with Catherine has catapulted my recovery into new territory I wasn't able to get to on my own. Through working with her I've made massive strides - my symptoms are reduced, I'm living my life more fully, and I have a clear path for where to go from here.

My relationship to my symptoms has completely transformed in the short time working with Catherine and I would highly recommend her program to anyone who wants to explore mind-body healing or has already made progress on their own but would benefit from more support.”

“Working with Catherine was deeply powerful for me. She helped me uncover some really uncomfortable feelings that I wasn’t aware I had been pushing away.

Having such a compassionate and present witness allowed me to feel safe enough to break some destructive patterns and have the confidence to explore difficult sensations on my own. Thank you so much for guiding me in this process!”

— L.V.

“The sessions I’ve had with Catherine are some of the most effective and powerful therapy sessions I’ve ever had – and I’ve had many.

I found the structure of Hakomi, and Catherine’s work in particular, quite healing and supportive, very safe and deeply human. The sessions felt mutually created and balanced.

The process of slowing-down, tuning in, and recognizing some deep currents/energies/signs within me felt revolutionary and surprising– a needed shortcut and revelation of the self.

This is work that is hard to do on one’s own – so being guided with such professionalism, insight, and care was very helpful. Thank you!”

— J.V.

“My time with Catherine in our Hakomi sessions continues to be absolutely transformative. Catherine creates a safe, warm, and welcoming space where I never feel rushed, judged, or pushed beyond my comfort zone. She approaches our sessions with genuine care, compassion, and curiosity, making me feel truly seen and understood.

Catherine has a down-to-earth energy and creates a beautiful balance between being in a position of a professional coach and fostering a genuine, personal connection. Catherine's skillful navigation between my present moment experiences and thoughtful inner exploration continues to provide  me with deep insights and a newfound understanding of myself.

Our sessions feel like a friendly exchange, where vulnerability is met with acceptance, leading to profound self-discovery. I am immensely grateful for the enriching and transformative experience, and I enthusiastically recommend Catherine to anyone seeking a therapeutic journey filled with love, insight and warmth.”

“I moved through a series of Hakomi therapy sessions with Catherine earlier this year that were deeply effective and informative in supporting my health.

As a touch therapist, I work extensively with humans and their bodies. I've also experienced years of talk therapy. What I find wonderful about Hakomi is that, unlike talk therapy, I never had to think about what I wanted to explore in a session. I simply had to arrive and then watch what floated into my consciousness in my own body.

Catherine is intuitive, gentle, and along for the journey. I never once felt unsafe. She is an astute listener, she reflects and listens, and the entire process was just remarkable. I think that working with her would be incredibly beneficial for anyone looking to more deeply connect body and mind, or has explored talk therapy but feels stuck.”

— K.P.

“Catherine provides such a space and supportive place to process what is coming up. She is very observant and attune to what is coming up through body sensations and emotionally and provides guidance on ways to be with and process the sensations and emotions.

I have gained insight on long held beliefs and new ways to be with my body (which is especially important when living with chronic illness).”

— L.

Catherine's gentle presence, deep patience, and insightful observations and suggestions led me to breakthrough realizations about my own patterns and conditioning as well as inklings of how I might address them in ways I never would have come to through intellectual analysis or the various methods of psychotherapy I have tried.

Each session was totally different and surprisingly profound, cathartic, and empowering - almost like a waking dream or shamanic journey into my body mind and heart mind - and I felt unequivocally safe going to those vulnerable places with Catherine because she holds such a strong, loving, and nonjudgmental container.

— L.R.

“Catherine’s warmth and compassion are the bedrock of this valuable work and healing experience. 

Her calming presence, guiding voice and understanding of her approach instantly put me at ease and allowed me to confidently listen to my body and the sensations that seem to naturally arise when in this safe, supported atmosphere.

Her ability to follow her own instincts and prompt me in a way to further deepen the experience were pivotal and showed great awareness on her own part. And as always, her bright and welcoming energy are a true delight.”

— M.F.

“It has been refreshing to find an alignment of mind and body practices in Hakomi work, focusing on the connectedness of the whole person.

Catherine makes a very approachable environment and brings a warm and positive focus to our discussions that have fostered important pattern recognition and change.”

— J.R.

“Catherine was my entryway into Hakomi practice. She was skillful at bringing me back into my body so that I could access material at a deeper level.

I felt so supported by the methods she used to support me and facilitate a situation unfolding and illuminating an old memory or pattern. It is beautiful to work with her and I look forward to our next series together.”

— G.B.

“Catherine is such a warm and comforting presence, and she was a conscientious guide through my mental, physical, and emotional processes.

I felt seen, affirmed, and uplifted in each of my sessions.”

— F.C.

“Catherine is a true gem! I could feel her calm presence, even through Zoom, and left each session feeling more calm and peaceful myself. She was able to hold a safe space for me no matter what came up and without judgment.

Catherine really shined when we discussed some chronic pain I was having. Her passion and knowledge on this topic was evident.

I enjoyed practicing a somatic body scan while also getting information on how the brain processes pain. It was helpful to learn how to begin letting go of some of the fear I was holding onto after having pain for so long.

Catherine gave me practical tools and resources to utilize even after our sessions were over. I have actually had much less pain since our sessions together!”

— A.C.

“Thank you so much Catherine!I I sincerely appreciate your time and presence sharing the space. You have a kind heart that listens intently with compassion.

The energy fostered during the session is calming to the body.”

— A.P.

"Catherine is a wonderful space holder and companion in deep soul-work. She has the beautiful skill of following threads of spoken language and body language to incredible wellsprings of healing. My sessions with her always leave me feeling held, witnessed, and like a more expansive version of myself."

— R.B.

“People seek body work for different reasons at different times. Sometimes, you are looking for an experience of deep relaxation. Sometimes you really need a mechanic, to address something specific that is troubling you physically, perhaps after an injury. Other times, body work is the catalyst for energetic and emotional release.

Catherine has the hands of a true healer, integrating each of these elements into her offering, which above all, is an extension of her spirit. I always feel held, not only by her hands, but by her deep soul.”
