With over 30 years of experience in the healing arts learnt from teachers around the world,
her healing therapies range from deep healing sessions, yoga, meditations, breathwork, trauma release, herbalism, detox, Ayurveda, soul counselling and mentorship to teachings practices from many traditions.
Catherine found her life passion of sharing the possibilities of self healing at the young age of 16, when she cured her chronic skin condition with food. Following her own healing path to unwind scoliosis, she embodies her teachings with a deep inner sense of listening to the body’s innate wisdom and encourages others to do so throughout all her sharings
Through her practice of Kundalini Yoga which she immersed herself in at 18, while completing her degree in Psychology with a dissertation on the integrated Eastern health models of mind, body and soul. This set her on her path to study with herbalists, healers, shamans and Wise Wemoon from around the world
In Hawaii at the age of 23, she spontaneously dry fasted for 6 weeks, and again with a water fast 5 years later in the jungles of Mexico. These experiences allowed her to touch upon a deep inner place of heightened awareness and in touch with her healing gifts
Incorporating many different modalities of healing therapies, becoming an Ayurveda Practitioner, and immersing in silence for long periods of time in ashrams in India, she integrated the western and eastern models in ways which offer ancient jewels together with modern science. She is inspired in sharing the many powerful tools in ways where we all can make small everyday changes and empower ourselves towards greater health and well-being
Catherine is known for her compassionate nature with a wide and comprehensive understanding of the integrated mind -body -soul systems and is devoted to sharing these tools and empowering others to heal themselves.

Remembrance Of Who We Truly Are..
Returning to our Inner Harmony of Heart and Soul!
To touch those forgotten places and dissolve tension patterns and beliefs which are causing dis-Comfort and dis-Ease, is a Privilege and a Gift that I Love to share with you.
'The Path of Healing is a rich inner relationship with Oneself, and sometimes, along the way, you meet someone who re-introduces lost aspects back to Oneself. Catherine is one of these Beings."
""Catherine is a deeply intuitive Healer,... her expertise is invaluable"
Is a Taoist technique which focuses upon detoxing and stimulating the health of the internal organs and digestive system. It is a deeply profound session releasing subconscious unresolved issues in the organs that cause limiting ways of being and seeing life. Through the belly we can access the entire meridian system. Each organ has a sound frequency and an emotion.. the lungs and colon hold grief; the kidneys, fear; the liver, anger and resentment etc. allowing the belly to be a portal into the unconscious emotional health as well as the physical health of our Being a deep spaciousness in your Being, opening the diaphragm and expanding your breath in a sincere openness towards Life. Our navel represents the initial wound of separation from Oneness and through listening, breathing and softening the belly we are guided back to a profound oneness with Oneself Ideal for providing relief for all types of digestive issues – gas, bloating, discomfort, constipation, diarrhoea etc_ with particular benefits for women’s health.
It is an optional extension of the Chi Nei Tsang where we deepen the breath and awareness into the pelvic floor. This opens up the root chakra issues of safety and groundedness, as well as working the pelvis in a calm and healing way to release sexual blockages and traumas.
Excellent for menstruation issues, releasing sexual trauma or for those wanting to bring more conscious awareness into one’s sexual organs.
“The Chi Nei Tsang and Karsai session with Catherine was beyond my experiences so far… I was completely in another world during and after the session. I could feel myself from the first time in these areas which have been so closed down for as long as I can remember. I now feel my lower belly, and feel my root area and my sexual vitality has awakened for me ! like i never had before ! A huge thank you “
The body holds our stress and traumas, causing us a higher emotional reactivity, chronic stress, anxiety and sleep issues. This session activates a tremor mechanism that literally shakes off and releases everyday stress or old layers of trauma without having to talk it out, relive or remember it. Developed for PTSD therapy for the USA army, this simple lying down practice brings deep relaxation, a sense of calm and balance. A powerful therapy which you can also learn to do by yourself for long term benefits. Good to combine with Cranio-Sacral therapy for stabilising the new neural pathways.
Best to wear comfortable loose or stretch pants
Ideal for dissipating chronic stress and emotional reactivity
I found Catherine one of the few healers who really understood what an activated nervous system could bring in one’s life. For me was extremely important because she offered me tools and rituals that were suitable for my needs. Therefore I felt seen and heard in a constructive manner, with a special softness and kindness, attributes that I found to describe so well Catherine’s vibe.
A combination of deep physical massage, fascia release and energy work on specific problem areas of your body. This session releases negative emotional and mental patterns that are holding tension and pain in the body. Guiding words are spoken to release those patterns, giving insight to the underlying themes.
When we are triggered or closed-off emotionally, it’s usually because we have old wounds which we are hyper protective of. This work allows those shadow areas of our psyche to be touched, cellularly heard, honoured and released so we can move forward in life without being bound by reoccurring self–destructive patterns.
“As someone with such radical empathy it’s difficult to put into words the gateways she has opened to my own body…”
Ideal for chronic pain that seems impossible to shift with just physical work
Releasing tensions in this often afflicted area of the body, with a variety of speciality techniques, to open the multi-faceted layers of tensions and blockages, so the tissues may return to their natural equilibrium.
We work with the muscles, tendons, fascia, lymph and sinus, and you may choose to include Nasya in which warm oil is gently dropped into the nose to either soothe or cleanse the sinus. In Ayurveda, the sinus’s hold the key to accessing emotional memories so we can release them and breath fully into trusting Life again
“… it was amazing. I didn’t even know how limited my breathing was until she released it“
Ideal for headaches, migraines, TMJ, sinus, throat and ear issues, memory issues, swollen face or bags under the eyes, stress and of course pain in this upper body area
Feeling the Great Love we have for Ourselves and our world is a Precious Treasure.
“When we feel we are drowning under the pressure of the mundane, this is like coming out from under water – a huge breath of fresh air.”
Here we combine touch, breath and guided visualisation to journey to a place beyond the protective walls of our heart, returning us to our original Authentic Soul level of being and reclaiming our Sovereignty. This allows us to see our situation in perspective beyond our current limited perception, to redirect cords of negativity which leak our energy, and replace burdens and pain in the heart with renewed positivity, courage and gratitude. The changes in one’s life that forgiveness brings are nothing short of a miracle as it frees us from manifesting more of the same dynamics and patterns.
Ideal for relieving challenging issues and dynamics within oneself and with others
Inner awareness tools to help navigate challenging times, and gentle guidance as a sounding board for discovering Oneself. It’s essential to be able to navigate the inner worlds skillfully as situations arise. These simple tools can be applied even while we are around people to help regulate our nervous system, bringing us to a place of calm and groundedness and are tailored to work specifically for your needs as an individual
. Her knowledge, understanding and energy provided me the space to do the work.” As someone with such radical empathy it’s difficult to put into words the gateways she has opened to my own body…”
“She generously offers all the tools one needs to find your own way. It is a combination of inexplicable magic and daily practices that will change your life.”
Ideal for reducing stress, anxiety and worry. For those who want to really learn how to manage stress and reactivity, and develop inner awareness to manage their energy body in healthy ways. Essential for sensitive people to maintain their balance in the modern world

'... she holds a wealth of knowledge that comes from lived experience through her own body, as well as a combination of ancient practices and scientifically proven methods."
Marma Massage is individualised, determined by a pulse reading on arrival, and is gentle massage and energy treatment to balance the elements in your body. The 7 Chakras are the most significant of the 108 marmas, which are considered the portals or gateways where Body, Mind, Emotions & Soul may be accessed, thereby harmonising the often apposing aspects of Self. This is a highly soothing therapy and may be performed with clothes on or off.
Abhyanga Massage is the classical soothing rhythmic Ayurvedic full body massage which uses herbal oil to deeply nourish the skin and calm the senses. Warm herbal compresses are then pressed all over the body to allow for deeper penetration of the medicted oil into the body and for further relaxation and enjoyment. This therapy will bring a deep sense of calm and nourishment and excellent for relieveing stress and improving the quality of your sleep.
Ayurvedic Nasya treatment is ideal for asthma, sinus issues, snoring, throat conditions, tightness in the throat, neck, jaw (TMJ) and shoulders. Herbal oils are inserted into the nostrils, cleansing and nourishing the delicate and often irritated nasal passageways whilst receiving a massage of the neck, throat, head, shoulders and face, to relieve congestion in lymph and to improve circulation. This treatment is best to be repeated a few times to clear deep issues, and can be performed at home by yourself.
Indian Head Massage is traditionally a seated massage in which the head and hair are dowsed in richly herbalised organic oils. The scalp is an area of the body which is often neglected and can hold a lot of tension affecting the face, jaw, neck and shoulders. This highly invigorating and yet calming massage of the scalp, neck, jaw, face and shoulders, will leave you feeling refreshed; that a burden has been lifted from your mind and with a noticeable release of tension in the head area. Ayurveda sees the mind as the great controller of our health, so when we lighten the mind, we can lighten our life and our over all health – Indian head massage does just this.
