Is this for real?
This feels too good to be true!
I totally understand, and if I hadn't seen first hand the power of this work, I would have my doubts too, any intelligent person would! This is why I have tried and tested this extensively behind the scenes before I was comfortable releasing it to a wider audience.
I was talking with a corporate lawyer the other day and she was telling me that trauma needed to be taken to a psychologist and would be a long, painful, and drawn-out process that would take a lot of time and energy. I had to bite my tongue! I would never suggest that someone should not see their psychologist, that would be wrong, inappropriate, and unethical.
However, I also had difficulty in not letting her know that it actually doesn't have to be that way! And that I have had clients who have received regular psychology, spent tens of thousands of dollars, with no tangible results. They have had 3 sessions with me and have had such huge shifts and healing that their psychologists have had real difficulty in believing it!

Please do reach out to me for help and I will refer you to someone who is an expert in this area. However, if you have anything listed in the above content, then please feel free to connect with me.)
I have personally been stung by coaches who promised the world and delivered glitter. That was a good ego-check for me! I can only be as transparent as I possibly can to reassure you that I am the real deal and the results that my clients get are genuine.
I am passionate about not only your wellbeing, but your ability to connect deeply and profoundly to your ultimate potential and help you to fly to extraordinary new heights.
The only way to know for sure is to jump on a call with me and see if your intuition says yes!
That is the only guidance you should be listening to right now, your own.

But the thing is that you’ll die waiting and still wounded.
You gotta heal you.
That’s your life’s work -- not theirs.
Let them go and get to work.
Their fault -- Okay. Got it.
Now, YOU."
I haven't got Trauma, is this for me?
I respect and honour your thoughts and feelings, but I will be a little confrontational and suggest that it is likely that you do have some level of trauma, most people do.
The fact is that people, particularly strong women, minimise their experience in order to survive it. They are then extraordinarily skilled at channelling that negative energy into the rocket fuel that leads to their ultimate success.
People often misunderstand what trauma is, and working with people with both big T and little t trauma has opened my eyes into the infinite ways in which it can show up in our world.
I have worked with clients who have had horror stories speckled throughout their history, and yet the most traumatic and distressing event they could recall, with the most emotional charge, was when their fifth grade teacher humiliated them in front of the class. This floored me and gave me a vital insight into how our minds and bodies identify and receive perceived trauma. It cannot be measure or compared.
I learned that you cannot grade trauma by the incident itself, but rather how your unconscious and nervous system receives it. This blew my mind.
Jump on a call and we can explore together in a safe environment. You are reading this for a reason, let's lean into that together.
I am scared at what I might uncover, is this a genuine concern?
I totally understand where you are coming from, we have been raised to have a healthy respect of this stuff and have been encouraged to avoid it at all costs. I get it!
The thing is, when we try to suppress it, it still effects our lives in the way we make decisions, how we show up in our business, our relationships, and can manifest as illness, burnout, blocks and triggers which prevent us from achieving our goals both personally and professionally.
Let me reassure you, this process is completely respectful and empowering from the start. This is not talk therapy! You do not need to tell me your stories and retraumatise yourself. Nobody has the time, energy, or bandwidth for that! If there are things that you cannot remember, then your brain has blocked those memories for a reason.
We honour your mind at every turn and we do not go digging around to try and unearth what your mind has suppressed for your safety. I have worked with clients who cannot remember before the age of 12 years old. That's totally fine. By looking at your patterns of behaviour I am able to identify your unconscious programming and I will know where to focus to align your unconscious with your conscious mind so that you can move toward your next level of brilliance more quickly and easily.
Fear not, dear friend, I've got you, and you're safe now.
I am worried that this process will effect my relationships, is that a valid concern?
This is a valid concern and you should consider this carefully before proceeding any further.
This process will give you massive internal releases and shifts in a small amount of time. There will definitely be a period of grace and space that you will need to gift those in your inner circle as they recalibrate to who you are after this process has taken place. (And I'm talking after the very first session!)
Your boundaries will shift and be reinforced, your level of tolerance will reset, and the way you show up both personally and professionally are likely to rapidly evolve and look very different. You will connect with a deep, profound, quiet power and presence that will effect every aspect of who you are.
I am not going to lie, you may lose some people out of your life as they preferred it when you were separate from your core strength. What I will also share, however, is that this leaves a space for others who are a more perfect fit for your new vibration, focus, and presence to find you and fill those gaps.
There is absolutely no shame in wanting to stay where you are, but if that is the case then this container is not for you.

"Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it."
I have not got the time or bandwidth for this right now, I am at capacity.
Is this worth it?
I hear you!
As a mother to five kids on the spectrum with a husband who is away the majority of the year working, juggling three autoimmune diseases, being a business owner, and an immigrant with very little outside support I understand how precious time is and that we want to maximise every minute of every day and night to squeeze out all that life has to offer.
I am a convert of that too!
However, if there is one thing I have learned from my own experience it is that a) We never have enough time unless we prioritise it, and b) This logic can also be procrastination and avoidance wrapped up in perfectly valid reasoning.
This is why I have worked over the last two decades to get myself to a point that my clients get results in hours, NOT weeks or months, because I have no patience for waiting around! If I can do it in half the time, I will!
I am that (slightly annoying, but also fabulous) client who asks for the settings to be adjusted so that I can watch trainings at double speed!
Why would I want to take the double the time? No, thanks!
Historically, my clients start getting results from the very first session.
If not now, then when? What is it costing you?
How long are you willing to compromise your true excellence and the potential that you know is your birth right and despite your success is yet to be realised?
That decision can only be yours and I am here if you feel that your time is now.
I am a visible, successful leader, I am too anxious to put my trust in someone and be vulnerable.
Is this safe?
This is a valid concern.
I have worked with very visible and successful coaches who have been stung by people in the past, and it is unfortunately a consideration that you must have when making this decision.
I built my core business through referrals, integrity is important to me.
Confidentiality, privacy and discretion are the core of my professional world and my personal and professional networks and inner circle reflect that.
This is a sacred, powerful, and intimate space. If you have any doubts as to my integrity, honour, or ethics, then this simply will not work.
Feeling comfortable, safe, and held in this space is absolutely essential. If I am not the right fit for you but you still feel that you need to get good quality support, please do persevere and find the right person to help you, you deserve it.

What does it look like to work with Cathy in this way?
Great question!
These sessions are virtual and you can show up from the comfort and safety of your own home.
These sessions are deep, powerful, and profound. The first session will be approximately two hours long. There is a lot of talking by Cathy (which is why she flagged her British accent with you above!)
She explains the psychology of trauma, why you behave the way that you do, the origins of your habits and patterns and exactly, step-by-step how we will dissolve what it no longer working. This in itself is life-changing! To have this depth of understanding is so powerful.
Then Cathy will explain how we will install new software into your brain to take you quickly and powerfully from where you are to where you want to be without struggle or inner conflict.
The second session is extraordinarily powerful and Cathy asks that you allow 2-4 hours for this session! Yes, this sounds like a LOT. However, when you are in session, time evaporates, you seem to be the only two people in the universe, and you are deeply and powerfully connected as you unfold and dissolve all that is needed to get you to the next step in your evolution.
Cathy is not a fan of the 'Time's up!' model, and she would never unleash a can of worms and then say,
'Well, good progress today! Your session is over, now carry around this can of worms until our next session!'
NO.
You both dance together until the music naturally fades, and you are left feeling calm, relaxed, peaceful, and centred.
The subsequent sessions we will allow 90 minutes for. This container has a combination between planned and fluid sessions. For example, if you are having a wobble due to an unexpected circumstance that has popped up into your experience, Cathy will jump on a voice call with you as soon as she can to talk you through it and recalibrate your mind and nervous system. There is also WhatsApp, Messenger, and email Support built in.
There are boundaries around this system and it is an agreement that is dependant on mutual respect and reasonable expectations. Cathy works with multiple clients, in multiple time zones and will respond as soon as her commitments allow, as quickly as she can within a 24 hour period.
Cathy is dedicated to your success and she genuinely cares about your results, and she will do her very best to serve you to the highest standard, always.
