Cultivate joy

We can laugh at our delightful and goofy selves.  

We can appreciate the unending streams of giving and receiving that support us in interdependence.  

We can share gratitude to nourish our hearts in joy.   

Weather systems

Emotions pass through us like weather systems, sometimes hot and stormy, sometimes numbing cold fronts.   Beneath the shifting states, the heart  is fundamentally open , dwelling in the natural home of kindness, calmness, compassion and joy.

Headache gone for good

The first time I visited Cat for craniosacral, I had had an ongoing headache that lasted about a month.  It was gone after the first visit, but returned a week later. After seeing her for the second time it was gone for good.

I continued to see Cat because I found craniosacral to be very powerful form of healing for me.  She spent time in areas that needed attention, and I would leave feeling changed and for the better.

I love Cat and utilized her skills for all the internal mind body healing I was needing, she is one of the rare practitioners that I will return to as long as she is in practice no matter where I am.      – Kierce

Blue sky mind

Last year was a watershed year for me in many ways. In late July I underwent outpatient surgery on my knee. I received a general anesthetic for the first time ever.

I am 72 year old and almost exclusively use herbs and homeopathy … I have never taken “meds” on a regular basis.

The procedure went well and it all seemed simple until I realized that I could not get back in my body, not in a way I could rely on. My focus was poor; I was making poor decisions; I was easily slightly irrational; and felt no pain for a really long time after.

In September I went to a massage therapist who said that she felt that the crown of my head was out of kilter and so she recommended craniosacral. I did this with Catherine; three sessions.

The first session was magic. I don’t know what she did – her touch was so light – but it was magical.  Afterwards I felt like a human being again.  I felt better than I had for 10 months.I did 2 more sessions, each about 2 weeks apart, to solidify the condition. In our second session, I had the feeling and image of my head being open to the sky.  I felt as if clouds over my head opened to blue sky.

I can definitely say that for post-surgery recovery from disorientation Catherine has a great deal to offer.

I didn’t have my legs under me

I have had sinus headaches and back pain for years. I had never been able to find a peaceful state after five years of meditation.  After our first craniosacral session I had an amazing week, then all the stress and claustrophobia came rushing back.

In our next sessions, images came rolling in. I realized that I felt disconnected from the earth. I felt I didn’t have my legs under me. I realized how much my husband was undermining me, like my efforts to prepare healthy food for our family. I felt how I was on guard for the kids whenever he was around. In session I had image of myself as a malnourished mother and baby, all at the same time.
