Catherine was first introduced to Meditation and Tai Chi sometime back in 1985 as a Tae Kwon Do student. It wasn't a daily practice but it was enough exposure for her to know she liked it. "Even at a young age I felt the benefits & effects of Meditation. It was not only an outlet from the physical activity I was doing but brought a sense of peace & calming to my life that I wasn't necessarily getting at home. A few years later as a sophomore in high school she took Yoga as what she explains for all the wrong reasons, I didn't really know what yoga was, but heard I could sleep in gym class and get an easy passing grade. Took one class and was hooked. The physical practice, and guided meditation was something I was not only familiar with but needed in my life & craved." -Cat
As a college student she took Stress Management as an elective and laughs as she looks back on it now. "I was just under 20 and surrounded by continuing ed. students in their upper 60 to 80's. But again, not only was stress something I was unfortunately accustomed to but I was also aware it was unhealthy & knew that there were ways to cope & tools to combat the insanity of every day life."-Cat
It wasn't until after attending BKLYN collage & after working in the corporate financial world for four years that Cat decided to make a major career change. "As an active Massage therapist since 2001, I still love what I do. My life path, the journey & interactions with all the good & not so good is what has led me here today. I am beyond excited to be able to bring all the modalities that I so wholeheartedly believe in to every body in stress." -CG
