Catherine Heartwood has over 20 years of experience with Healing Work and Massage, and 10 years offering Health Consultations in Ayurvedic and Detox.
Catherine found her life passion in sharing the possibilities of self-healing when, at 16, she healed herself from a chronic skin condition.
Through her practice of Kundalini Yoga which she immersed herself in at 18 and while completing her degree in Psychology, she discovered the integrated Eastern models of mind, body and soul, and this set her on her path to study with herbalists and shamans and midwives around the world.
In Hawaii at the age of 23, she spontaneously fasted for 6 weeks, which happened again 5 years later in the jungles of Mexico, bringing her to a deep inner place of heightened awareness. These experiences also led her to understand the power of fasting in healing not only the body but also the mind and soul level of being and she brings this depth of understanding to her current work in fasting and detox
On completing her 3 year Ayurveda Practitioner program in the USA in 2008, and with 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 to share the many powerful tools in ways where we all can make small everyday changes and empower ourselves towards greater health and well-being
Catherine currently works with The Sanctuary in Thailand as their Wellness Director, as well as being a detox consultant for other retreat centers and individuals along with offering her healing sessions. She has recently been hosting intensive detox and fasting retreats in Europe and working in the Middle East.
She creates her own herbal formulas through her herb company in Asia and provides detox herbs for many health centers in Asia
With over 25 years of experience in the healing arts of Reiki and de-armouring energy work which is focused upon lifting mental-emotional patterns stuck in the physical body, she is trained in many forms of massage, specializing in chi nei tsang – abdominal massage.
Together with her training in herbology, detox and Ayurveda, somatic trauma release and women’s Taoist practices, Catherine has a wide and comprehensive understanding and is devoted to sharing these tools and empowering others to heal themselves
Drawing from a wide variety of styles, such as Swedish, Deep Tissue, Acupressure, Abhyanga, Lomi-lomi, Aromatherapy and Reiki, I combine these to co-create your Personal Signature Massage best suited to your needs and problem areas.
& enjoy dedicating the whole session to your particular problem area.
Chi Nei Tsang (CNT) is a Taoist therapy which focuses upon healing the digestive system and the internal organs. Unresolved emotions are stored in our organs and when left untreated, causes blockages in our entire body through the meridian system. The session will be as deep or as gentle as you wish, to release stuck fascia that stagnates the liver, gallbladder, kidneys, sexual organs, pancreas, lungs and small and large intestines. It will stimulate the lymph and provide relief for many types of digestive issues with particular benefits for women’s health.
Reflexology is a healing tradition based on specific pressure points relating to other places in the body. Thus, massage and pressure applied to the hands, feet and ears will provide relief for many conditions, physically and emotionally, as well as mental stress and insomnia. This is a clothes on massage and simple to fit into your busy lunch break or after work schedule.
Reiki is high vibrational subtle energy work which rebalances your cellular being and reconnects your emotional, mental and physical bodies with that of your Soul. It is received with clothes on and can be experienced as very relaxing or highly inspiring. Practising as a Reiki Master, Catherine has given hundreds of sessions and initiated dozens of people into this tradition.
Ayurveda is the traditional medical system of India, originating from the same ancient source as Yoga. It is a holistic health practice that allows you to understand and balance the elements within you. Diagnosing through pulse, tongue, body type and health concerns, a consultation will advise you on:

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.
