I wanted to quickly introduce myself again since it has been a while.
I'm Catherine (she/her). I am a dancer, somatic therapist, and lover of the outdoors.
I companion people who long to understand themselves more deeply—people living with anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, sensitivity, illness, or loss—as they find their way back into deeper relationship with themselves and the wholeness already within them.
My approach is rooted in presence, attunement, and a deep respect for the intelligence of the body.
Rather than trying to fix what feels broken, we slow down and listen.
We become curious about symptoms, patterns, and protective responses—not as problems to overcome, but as meaningful expressions of something within us that is asking to be understood.
I believe that the body carries both the imprint of what we have lived through and the wisdom of what we need.
Trauma, unmet developmental needs, chronic stress, pain, and experiences of oppression can shape the ways we protect ourselves and move through the world.
These protections developed for good reasons.
In our work together, we create a compassionate and collaborative space where they can be met with curiosity rather than judgment, and where new possibilities can gradually emerge.
I am a Certified Hakomi Practitioner and Licensed Massage Therapist, a Certified Pain Reprocessing Therapy Practitioner, and trained in somatic movement education.
I am currently completing my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling at Lesley University, specializing in Dance/Movement Therapy.
My work is particularly informed by Hakomi’s principles of mindfulness, nonviolence, and trust in the organic unfolding of each person’s inner wisdom.
