My passion for embodiment is from my own journey.

At age 11, I needed to listen to my body to manage my juvenile arthritis. Sitting in the pine trees was my childhood resilience resource. Being fully present in my body came from years in children’s theater. Singing before 15,000 people in college taught me about overwhelm. Grounding was a daily habit as a TV anchor reporting live to 75,000+ people. 

Embodied leadership supports aligning my passion and actions. Somatic coaching is how I developed personal safety and trust in others. Somatic Experiencing helped me address my emotional reactivity before I learned I had ADHD. As a highly sensitive person, biofeedback and neurofeedback support my nervous system regulation. Walking Camino paths, singing and forest bathing are my self-regulation practices. 

I now offer what I’ve learned to support others. Most importantly, I’ve learned to listen when my body speaks.

Catherine is an articulate, challenging yet authentic strategic sparring partner. With strong business acumen and pattern recognition, she easily identifies the core to unlock complex challenges.
