Catherine’s knowledge, experience and passion for teaching conscious parenting creates a safe place to learn and share. Her teaching is full of wisdom. Her resources and materials were helpful and worth reviewing for class and for life. I highly recommend her course.
"It was an incredible resource to hear from other parents going through the very similar situations to my own. It’s such a sensitive and personal topic that very rarely would this opportunity be presented"
"The tools and resources provided a very helpful framework for understanding the importance of our own traumas so that we can better support and parent our kids in ways that honor who they are"
Here are what others have said about our Conscious Parenting workshops.....
"The workshop provided so much to think about, so many different angles to look at, and I found a lot of inspiration in the leader and group members. It inspired me in many ways especially in focusing on more compassion/ curiosity towards myself and my son and less judgement and fear"
Catherine introduced Conscious Parenting in such a thoughtful, powerful way, seamlessly guiding our group discussions and activities, empowering everyone in the group to process and implement the practices right away. She created a warm, safe, open, environment with so many interesting perspectives and loads of positive energy. She also carefully curated a terrific collection of resources!
"So much more than conscious parenting. As someone who is exceedingly self-aware and has already been working for years on resolving issues, I wasn't sure what I would get out of these sessions. So grateful I was so wrong! The sessions were not only incredibly helpful in terms of my parenting, but I can apply the tools to every challenge in my life. Having guided support from Catherine and the other participants made a huge difference. I am excited to continue to be a part of this supportive community!"
"It was so helpful and supportive to connect with other parents around conscious parenting , learn the main principles of Conscious Parenting, and hear other's stories and learn from them."
About Catherine
I am a parent like you who has two teenage daughters, 18 and 14. My struggles with my older daughter led me to certify as a Conscious Parenting Coach, as well as to a year-long program with Dr. Gabor Maté which strengthened my understanding of what it takes to heal, and my skills using mind, body, spirit approaches for personal transformation. I'm a dedicated student of wisdom teachings, including those of Thomas Hubl, Tara Brach, and many others. I bring a background of many years working in women's rights and empowerment and leading and facilitating learning processes for large international foundations. My commitment is to support people to come closer to the truth about themselves and their lives in order to bring about greater consciousness. Read more here
