About Catherine

Reconnecting people to their body’s intelligence

From Pressure to Presence

For over 20 years, I’ve supported leaders in their high-stakes moments: speaking to the media; presenting on stage; or leading transformation. 

I’ve been there myself – reporting live on television, serving as a corporate spokesperson, singing to thousands and public speaking. 

I’ve learned my body is my greatest resource under pressure.

Why Embodiment
Matters to Me

I started listening to my body out of necessity. At age 11, managing juvenile arthritis meant checking in every morning—how much walking could I do today? How did I need to adapt? That awareness became my foundation for listening when my body speaks. Today, embodiment is how I stay regulated, speak authentically, and coach teams to build trust. Embodiment is not just intuition, but my resource for how I show up in each moment.

Building My Skills

I built stage presence through a decade of children’s theater, improv, and singing solos. Later, as a TV reporter and media spokesperson, I learned to stay grounded under pressure—live, on air, in front of thousands. Supporting pharma, medtech and university leaders for media interviews, global presentations and facilitating large transformation events strengthened my “use of self/self as instrument” and team coaching skills.

My Corporate Experience

In communications and organizational development roles, I sat on commercial and operations leadership teams, facilitated workshops and agile ways of working. I navigated tension conversations and burnout. My quick, business mindset and strong big picture skills can easily laser in on what’s important–-the core of an issue.

I would highly recommend Catherine as a coach.“
