The stories that feel really true in the body from a person's lived experience during the years of brain development can become more entrenched with the unjust realities of the world we live in right now.

Here I talked about socioeconomic status specifically, but this can include any kind of marginalized experience that comes up against a person's access to safety, support, power/agency, freedom, and dignity.

It's hard enough to process and heal developmental trauma. Oppression of any kind adds a layer that makes it exponentially more challenging to heal.

I don't say this to add to doom and gloom, but to hopefully offer validation. It's not your fault if you're experiencing marginalization and having a hard time working through your trauma.

The seeds of authenticity don't sprout and grow from trying to get rid of parts of ourselves we wish to change.

Instead they come from slowing down, listening, and honoring what's here.

Every somatic therapy session with every client, even on Zoom, is a space I greet with intention.

I invoke a space that I hold as sacred - where all parts of you are witnessed and held with loving presence and genuine care.

I start my day with movement, meditation, and journaling so that I can locate myself emotionally, physically, mentally, and energetically before I enter someone else's internal landscape.

I light a candle, remember my intentions, and ground them in my body before I enter into the space of a session.

For groundedness, open-heartedness, and clarity. ✨

“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. 🪟🌅

I want to acknowledge the wild fact that Black Friday falls on Native American Heritage Day. You can also donate directly to the Wabanaki Alliance.

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.
