about me
I'm Catherine
I'm an energy healer and coach trained in Reiki, Astrology, Tarot, Creative Writing, Shamanic Journeying, Somatically Informed Coaching, and Clowning. It sounds like six different lives, but they were always apprenticeships to the same teacher: the true self. Poetry taught me the native language of the heart. Somatic Coaching taught me to listen multidimensionally. Clowning taught me to take the mask off. Astrology gave me the map, the esoteric arts gave me the lantern, and Reiki taught me to listen to the body and feel connected to everything. Different modes, same direction: home.
I do this work because I use this work. I know what it feels like to think you've lost yourself, and then to realize that the whole time, you were being guided back home.
In 2004, a fire destroyed the artist colony where I was going to live while applying to grad school for poetry. I chose what I thought was the practical path, and worked my way up to an executive role in entertainment and media. I had success, but not purpose. All the while, I was quietly studying the healing arts and spiritual practices. I kept writing, too, but never found the courage to submit it. For years, my dreams felt fanciful, the kind best left to someone else.
So after the 2025 fires devastated my community, the symmetry was impossible to ignore, and so was this calling to return to the self I had been nourishing all along. Everything I had studied, loved, and worked at, all the loss, pain, and triumphs, gave me the tools and the faith to help others do the same.
Here is what those years taught me: the sort of magic I've experienced isn't inaccessible, or for a chosen few. It is the nature of our reality, and we are being guided toward our most fulfilled life. We just need a little help with directions sometimes.
This work has allowed me to live more courageously, authentically, and freely. Brave enough to submit my writing, and better yet, strong enough to embrace rejection. You can read more about that journey on my Substack.
I know what it means to feel disconnected from yourself. To feel trapped by the pressures of the life you chose, but want to find a healthier way of relating to. For the way forward to feel murky. I've sat in the boardrooms and I've sat at the altar, and I bring both fluencies here. I'm honored to hold a judgment-free space that helps you find your way back to you, with my training, my full attention, and a fair amount of laughter along the way.
