Welcome
I’m Catherine,
and it matters to me that you’re here.
Why I Work This Way
Lasting change happens when the nervous system is resourced enough to integrate what the mind already knows.
I work with brilliant human beings — and with nervous systems that have learned to survive, lead, care, and hold responsibility over time.
Most people I work with aren’t in crisis. They’ve done a lot of inner work, and still, something hasn’t fully landed in the body.
My work exists to support that integration precisely and with a lot of compassion.
How I Work With People
I work relationally because how we are together really matters.
I’m not hidden behind technique, instead I’m here- steady, present, and paying attention so that you can feel me with you.
Ambivalence, the in-between places and mixed capacity are all part of this terrain. As are the moments where part of you wants to move and another part tightens., I don’t see that as a problem to solve., rather it tells us what’s actually available in this moment.
People often say they feel met without being hurried and supported without being managed when they work with me.
Ethics, consent, and clear roles aren’t add-ons here. They’re the ground. I hold my responsibility cleanly, so safety doesn’t have to be manufactured or performed it can be felt.
Nothing in this work is about fixing you or overriding what your system learned to do.
It’s about creating the kind of conditions where it doesn’t have to brace so hard anymore. Where safety becomes the new baseline and coherence builds slowly. This is where power and choice settle into the body in a way that lasts.
My Story - The Brief Version
I know the terrain of survival because I’ve walked it for decades —
and I’ve spent many years unthreading the patterns it leaves behind.
What shaped my journey wasn’t a single breakthrough or a dramatic moment of healing. It was long-term devotion to integration. A slow reorganisation and an ongoing return.
I learned how my nervous system changes when it’s no longer asked to endure or override itself.
How access to personal power shifts when it’s no longer tied to proving, holding everything together, or self-abandonment — but begins to grow from true belonging, to the earth, to community, to spirit to family but most importantly to myself.
I no longer live life from survival, and that’s a quiet, profound relief.
How I now live and the work I offer comes from the steadiness that followed. A slower pace with space to feel and choose and the capacity to stay.
That really matters because the way I hold others is shaped by how I’ve learned to hold myself.
Experience & Training
My work is shaped by many years of deep inner work, study, practice, and lived integration — and by what I’ve learned through long-term relationship with real people, over time.
I’ve trained extensively in trauma resolution and somatic integration, alongside ongoing study of nervous system science, neuroscience, and relational dynamics. That learning isn’t theoretical. It’s continually informed by what I meet in real time - in bodies, in relationship, and in sustained work with people over months and years.
I’m also neurodivergent, with a later-in-life diagnosis. That understanding has deepened my sensitivity to difference, pacing, and patterning — and to the many ways nervous systems adapt in order to function. It shapes how I listen, how I structure space, and how I support integration, without assuming a single way of processing, relating, or regulating.
Over the years, I’ve held long-term 1:1 containers, facilitated groups, mentored practitioners, and trained professionals in trauma-informed, nervous-system-literate work.
What matters most to me isn’t only what I know, but how I bring it — with attunement, compassion, and respect for each person’s capacity and timing.
I remain in supervision and ongoing learning as a practice of curiosity, humility, and care for the people I work with. You can read about my training here.
Who My Work Is For
My work is for people who are resourced enough to slow down and stay present with themselves — even when that pace feels unfamiliar.
Often, they’re holding responsibility: leading, facilitating, caring, creating. They can feel where their nervous system is still working hard to keep everything steady, and they’re not looking for intensity or another breakthrough. What they’re ready for is integration that changes how life is lived, not just how it’s understood.
This work tends to resonate with people who value consent, ethics, and nervous system literacy. People who want to meet themselves with honesty and care rather than force — and who are willing to move at a pace that allows real change to settle, even when that pace is quieter than they’re used to.
At the same time, this isn’t a substitute for crisis support, emergency mental health care, or situations where external stabilisation is the primary need.
Fit matters here — for you and for me. So we pay attention to that together, sensing whether this is the right space for the work you’re ready to do.
An Invitation
If something here has met you — even quietly — you’re welcome.
You’re invited to explore my 1:1 work, professional training, or mentorship. Or simply take your time and sense whether this way of working feels right for you — in your body, not just in your mind.
If now isn’t the moment to step into something deeper, you can stay connected. You’re welcome to join my newsletter or follow along on social media below. It’s a way to remain in the conversation, without pressure.
And if the time comes to begin, we’ll know.
