“I support people living with trauma and chronic pain by using Hakomi-based somatic therapy and Pain Reprocessing Therapy to help shift the unconscious patterns that keep the nervous system stuck in protection mode.

Hakomi offers a unique doorway into accessing the implicit memory - the stored emotional and bodily experiences we cannot reach through logic, willpower, or through talking alone.

Instead of trying to ‘fix’ symptoms, we create a mindful, attuned space where the nervous system feels safe enough to reveal and shift long-held patterns.

We work experientially with these protective patterns the body holds in the present moment so that they can be compassionately witnessed and reorganized in real time. This leads to more meaningful, longer-lasting transformation.”

I'm grateful for my clients, and for my work.

I'm grateful for the humility required to keep showing up as an imperfect human with the intention to be in integrity to hold space. I'm grateful for my clients who continue to trust me.

I companion people who long to understand themselves more deeply—those living with anxiety, trauma, pain, sensitivity, or loss—to rediscover the wholeness already within them.

My approach is rooted in presence and attunement.

My intention is to offer a space of safety and collaboration where your body’s wisdom leads the way.

Instead of trying to fix what feels broken, we learn to listen—trusting your symptoms as invitations to heal and integrate.

If you have been thinking about working with me, now is your window. 🪟🌅

Place one hand somewhere on your body that feels neutral — your chest, your belly, your upper arm.
Let it rest.

Don’t try to breathe a certain way. Don’t force anything.

Just… be with yourself.

This small moment of contact can soften the nervous system.

It can remind your body that you aren’t alone inside of all this.

It can begin the slow unwinding that your system has been craving.

In the coming days, I’ll be announcing sharing something special I’ve been working on — a way to support those who’ve been wanting to begin (or return to) somatic sessions with me but haven’t felt ready or resourced.

More soon.

Until then, may you feel the ground beneath you.
May your breath move gently.
May your body know you’re listening.

With care,
Catherine

Healing doesn’t require pushing.
It doesn’t require force.
It doesn’t require emotional intensity.

Most of the time, healing begins with the smallest movements —
a soft shift in the ribs,
a gentle sway through the spine,
a breath that deepens by half a millimeter.

These subtle movements give your nervous system the message:
“You’re safe enough to soften.”

In my sessions, we work with micro-movements, gentle somatic awareness, and the intelligence of the body — practices that never overwhelm and always meet you where you are.

If you’ve been wanting to try somatic therapy, reconnect with your body, or work through chronic pain more gently, keep an eye out. 👀

I have something for you coming next week.

Forgiveness is premature if you can't acknowledge your honest feelings.

My intention is to give my clients a space where their honest feelings have room to breathe without judgement so that the truth of the need or value underneath can be revealed.

Relationships aren't easy, and repair isn't always possible. But when there is a container where all of you is welcome, it's easier to process whatever is happening inside of you, so that you can communicate from a place of integrity.

Healing unfolds when we turn toward what we usually turn away from—meeting all parts of ourselves, even the ones that protect and resist.

Instead of trying to fix symptoms, we’ll learn from them, cultivating trust in your body as an ally rather than a source of pain.

In our work, we’ll listen for what your body is trying to communicate by slowing down, deepening presence, and allowing for what is ready to emerge.

Let’s collaborate.

I'll be offering a diss-c0unt on sessions at the end of November!
