A Holistic Path Shaped by Experience and Curiosity
Catherine’s work is grounded in decades of practice across herbal medicine, bodywork, the creative arts, yoga teaching, and the deeply respected traditions of Chinese medicine. Her approach is warm and intuitive, thereby creating a safe and thoughtful space for clients navigating stress and its shortcomings, emotional disharmony, hormonal imbalance, digestive concerns, pain, and cosmetic acupuncture outcomes.
A Life Led by Learning, Creativity and Care
From early studies in natural health to international art exhibitions, Catherine’s path has always been guided by curiosity, expression and a deep desire to uplift others.
Catherine’s interest in health and wellbeing began in the 1980s, when she first trained in herbal medicine, shiatsu, and sports massage. These foundations shaped her understanding of the body, touch, and the powerful connection between physical and emotional wellbeing.
Her journey expanded into the creative process, which deepened her appreciation for detail, stillness, and the way emotion communicates and moves through different mediums – lessons she now brings into her clinical practice.
Another shift came through teaching yoga, followed by studying the long-admired wonder of Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Each phase of her life has informed the next, weaving knowledge, empathy and lived experience.
