TESTIMONIALS
A lovely and safe learning space with such intention
"I found it interesting (and appreciated) that we were asked what we needed. I really like her fluid style and appreciate how skillfully she responds to each participant and what is coming up for them. And I was blown away by her explanation of the spiritual and energetic aspects of craniosacral therapy.."
A perfect blend of information and hands on practice
"I really liked the way the class was structured. It built upon the skills at a gentle pace and was a perfect blend of information and hands on practice. I also appreciated the time we had each morning to process our thoughts and concerns about what we were feeling and learning. You did an excellent job of listening, reflecting, and tying ideas together in an open ended way."
Catharine met us precisely where we were on our own individual journeys
"The depth of Catharine's own inner work came through in her teaching. She beautifully wove together insights from Hugh Milne, Thomas Hubl and others, as well as her own, meeting us precisely where we were on our own individual journeys in this introduction to craniosacral therapy."
I found myself really drawn in and feeling really safe at the training
"I appreciate how Catharine's has teaching of Craniosacral Therapy comes with such a spiritual depth and psycho-socio-emotional attunement and genuineness that I found myself really drawn in and feeling really safe at the training. Not all teachers impress me with such a level of integration and depth, presence and humility - and I've been training with many psychological & spiritual schools and groups such as Hakomi, the Diamond Approach, CIIS, and Relational Somatic Healing, and some others at Esalen and elsewhere"
A safe holding environment for exploration
"I have never attended a class, especially one where I was participating in hands on practice, where my inner critic was silent. Catharine did an amazing job creating a safe holding environment for exploration."
