Heal, Awaken, and Create
This is a space for individuals on their healing and awakening journey seeking practical and inspiring tools related to trauma, embodiment, self-realisation and conscious creative expression.
Hello! I’m Catherine,
I am a teacher, poet, and bodyworker.
I spent 10 years in the literature/arts world, editing and hosting hundreds of poets and artists as founder of an Arts Council funded publishing project. In 2020 I moved into the world of wellness and I currently teach on the subjects of trauma, embodiment, high sensitivity, and conscious creative practice.
I am committed to lessening suffering on the planet and deepening my understanding of the human experience through investigation and conversation, cultivating community based on safety and authenticity.
I write lyric poetry and essays on the subjects of healing and the spiritual path. I am interested in expressing the complexity and nuance of the healing and awakening journey, and in the very real responsibility we have as human beings on earth at this time.
In 2024, after two years of study, I qualified (TRE®) Trauma Release Exercises practitioner and I now work with clients 1-1 and in groups. I also use esoteric tools and a range of holistic methods in my client work and love to collaborate with practitioners in a variety of modalities. I am continually investing in my own education and personal development so that I can bring a high level of care to my work.
I have a grounded and inspiring approach committed to truth and accountability. The most frequent question I explore with clients is: "What lights you up and what makes you feel alive?" Whatever the answer, we will explore and clear blockages and energetic systems, so that space is created for inspiration to illuminate the path.
I work mostly in London and Europe, in person and online. If you feel the call, I would love to work with you, whether that is as a client or collaborator on a specific project.

Offerings
Astrology and Human Design
In these sessions, I aim to collaborate with you in exploring your gifts, your medicine and purpose. I create a safe space for you to arrive more fully in your life and in your body. We will combine grounding, embodiment exercises with astrology and human design. These can be amazing tools for offering a new lens with which to view yourself. Astrology and Human Design are a language we can use to go deeper into self-enquiry.
Trauma and Tension Release
In a TRE® session, we will safely and mindfully activate a natural, in-built tremor or shaking mechanism in the body to release trauma and stress. These sessions aim to bring your nervous system into a state of regulation. This is a profound healing process and is most effective when practiced regularly.
Conscious Creativity
Do you have a project and desire accountability and inspiration? Creativity can heal you and healing can bring through incredible works of art. In these sessions, we explore a creative impulse or project. This could be a poetry collection, a novel, a script or it could be a creative or holistic business. I offer guidance, insight and accountability. I bring my background in literature and the arts, combined with a holistic lens.
Coming soon
I'm planning to organise more events in 2025. I will update this section. For now there is a Monthly Awaken Your Dreams Circle in which we share our dreams and goals and offer each-other support and accountability.
FAQs
Many people have trauma held within their bodies and we do not need to know the original events that caused it in order to release it. Also, TRE® is a practice that helps reduce daily or chronic stress and tension that is stored in the body.
Yes. TRE® combines very well with other practices and therapies. If you are booking a session, I will ask you about the other practices/therapeutic modalities you are using.
The benefits of a package are many and this is my preferred way of working. It allows us to build safety and intimacy. If we are working with TRE, the most effective way to practice is regularly and over time.
An in person session of TRE® will include hands-on touch, provided the client has clearly consented to this. In an in person astrology/human design session, there is less difference. In a Creative Projects session, we may use TRE® and therefore touch. We may also use pens, paper, and other physical tools.
Yes. However, I will assess whether a TRE® practitioner who is also trained in psychotherapy may be a better fit. TRE® was developed to treat PTSD, so it is effective. I am qualified and trained with Steve Haines and Luke Mullen at The Body College.
