Incredible doesn't cover it.
I've just had a 1-2-1, 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.

​
This gentle body-centered approach is known to be effective with anxiety, overwhelm, disconnection, feeling stuck, depression, and many more symptoms of stress, trauma, and nervous system disregulation.
Through questions, instruction, accountability, and respecting the pace and intelligence of your nervous system, clients experience the growth and security that comes from feeling connected and heard.

FAQ​​
​
"What can Somatic Experiencing (SE) help with?"
Sometimes, the details of traumatic experiences or events are buried deep within our nervous system. Yet we experience the symptoms: anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and more. By focusing on the sensations of the body, SE can help clients access and release the trapped energy associated with trauma-related stress responses and move forward with their lives.
​
"What can I expect in a session?" ​
Somatic Experiencing offers a client-centered approach; at the beginning of the session, I ask clients what they'd like to address. We take time to establish a safe container for exploring your body's signals at your own pace. ​Sessions focus on embodiment: This supports the deactivation of stored energy and restores a sense of well-being.
​
"How many sessions do you recommend, and how often?"
I suggest weekly sessions for the first one to two months. After that, we can reassess, with an option to choose bi-monthly sessions. Finding a regular rhythm helps my clients' nervous systems build the stability necessary for deep work.
​
"Can I combine this work with other modalities?"
Somatic Experiencing works well alone or as part of a team approach. The method complements traditional trauma therapies, like EMDR, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and other psychodynamic approaches. Its holistic outlook supports clients in a comprehensive healing experience.
​
"Do we meet online or in person?"
I see people online and in the office. We can discuss which situation will work best on the consultation call.
​
"Do you work with clients overseas or out of state?"
Yes. One of the benefits of working together online is that we can work together wherever you are.
I am in such good shape both emotionally and psychically, thanks to Catharine!​
Catharine is an amazing healer! With the loss of my marriage, my parents and my job within a few short years, I felt I was unraveling and was unable to bounce back from small stresses. My emotions were negative and I was completely stressed out. Catharine's gentle ways of healing my body gave me strength and resilience...her craniosacral work basically "stitched" me back together! She's also a skilled life coach, and is really skilled in helping reframe issues and problems. I am in such good shape both emotionally and psychically, thanks to Catharine!​
