Is it time for a new approach to healing?
Craniosacral Therapy and Somatic Training
help you reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and rediscover your natural capacity for healing.
Hi, I’m Catharine, Craniosacral therapist and Somatic Coach. For over 20 years, I've helped hundreds of people go from physical, mental, and emotional stress to feeling better than they have in years.
I also teach Craniosacral and somatic awareness through small-group trainings.
My private practice is located in Berkeley, California, and I work online with people around the world.
Many people who work with me eventually become curious about learning these skills themselves
For Practitioners and Curious Beginners
Many people come to this work wanting to:
​​
• understand the nervous system
• connect with their intuition
• develop healing touch skills
• support their clients or loved ones more deeply
​​​
​​​
​
​
If this speaks to you, Learning to Listen trainings are a beautiful place to begin.
​​​​
Often students begin with Learning to Listen Part 1 and continue to deepen through Practice Labs and Advanced Training.
Healing begins with listening

"It was a life-altering experience...
I felt so much safety to show up as myself ... It was incredible. I learned about so much more than craniosacral, and I will carry what I learned ... into many other aspects of my life. It was a life-altering experience."

From the moment I sat in on a class taught by Catharine, I was drawn to her calm demeanor and playful attitide. With her gentle prompts and nurturing touch, I have been able to work through some deep seated trauma and negative emotional conditioning. In her presence, I always feel safe and heard and always leave feeling energetically lighter. I highly recommend her services and have even sent a few of my clients her way. Thank you Catharine for constantly reassuring me that I am on the right path.

Craniosacral Therapy
Have you tried other avenues to relieve your physical, mental, and emotional stress and are ready to reach for alternative methods?
​
Craniosacral therapy is a highly attuned path to recover energy, regain balance, and heal from pain and trauma.
​
This method assists people struggling with a wide range of health issues including headaches, chronic injury, back & neck pain, and insomnia. I have also had great success supporting people suffering from depression, anxiety, and traumas.
​​
​
Within just a few sessions, people often report that they are more relaxed, balanced, pain-free, and living their best lives.

​​​
Can Craniosacral therapy work for you?
​
Craniosacral therapy works brilliantly for a wide variety of conditions, from stress to emotional imbalance, pain, and trauma.
The best way to know if it will work for you is to come in for an initial visit.

5 stars doesn't do it justice
I have been in pain for a long time. My neck and shoulders were just killing me even after getting massages from my friends and class mates. I knew there was something much deeper that I needed to look for another type of healing. So I found out Catherine who is a friend is a professional in craniosacral and booked an appointment with her today.
I can tell without hesitation, 5 stars doesn't do it justice. She simply takes you to another dimension.... I am a CMT myself and trained in craniosacral modality, but her intuitive healing hands simply can not be attained through training. She is a master. I highly recommend her.

Incredible doesn't cover it​
“I've just had a 1-to-1, online, session with Catharine. Incredible doesn't cover it. I struggle to get in touch with my emotions and it's difficult, for me, to spend time just being. i.e. no book, no music, no nothing, just being with my thoughts. After my second 50 minute session, I felt a huge sense of relief, a calmness, the fear around connecting with emotion is starting to lift. Amazing, Catharine, thank you. I'll definitely be booking further sessions. I can't recommend you highly enough.”
