Retreat to Restore 2024
This retreat helped me learn that I have the tools inside me to rest and restore. The community of women was so fulfilling. We all have stories and to share them makes me feel connected and not alone. Cathy led us so beautifully into a soft nest of rest where I could listen to my heart. The restorative yoga, sound bowls, lessons of the labyrinth, truth cards, and core values were each a beautiful and insightful part of this retreat ~ Peggy
Retreat to Restore was a gift! Cathy is a gifted planner and facilitator, allowing for personal space & group experience in good measure and her generosity of spirit was evident in all activities. I totally enjoyed it, from the accommodations to the amazing women in attendance. The experience exceeded my expectations because , while I expected thoughtful content, I was surprised by how much fun I had. I realize I need the companionship of women and I appreciated the small cohesive group; I also learned that I am easily soothed by a beautiful natural setting and a good meal! And, I think it has reminded me to be open in meeting new people & having new experiences ~ Chris

Retreat to Restore Experiences
Cathy takes the time to get to know you, she cares about you and is truly your guide in your own personal journey. She will meet you where you are, help you, guide you and be your biggest cheerleader along the way. To be a part of Cathy's community is a gift ~ Karen
Cathy is amazing. Attending Retreat to Restore at this moment in my life was exactly what I needed to realign my values, find support, and leave feeling more centered and at peace with myself. Cathy was not only incredibly prepared, but organized the weekend with the perfect sense of balance in involved and more hands-off activities. When we arrived, we were greeted with a gift box, which felt so personal and special. I will now have physical memories to carry with me, including a rose quartz bracelet, that I continue to wear every day as a reminder of our time together. Thank you Cathy for your generosity, wisdom, and care during this vulnerable time in my life ~ Hannah
Being at Retreat to Restore was amazing. It made me smile, laugh and cry. I felt the care and support from the other women and there was plenty of time for everyone to be heard. Liz

Cathy’s 3-month program allowed me to adjust to a life of retirement, heal and grow. She helped me redefine my situation in life and provided tools that revealed my values and priorities. This led me to change my attitude about being productive to one of being present and grateful. By appreciating the slower pace of life, I have a greater appreciation for my circumstances and a higher regard for the relationships in my life. Cathy is a great listener with the ability to hear the important issues hidden in the words. I recommend Cathy's approach to anyone who feels the need for encouragement in confusing times to make positive and lasting change. Her positive attitude is delightful and contagious!

I signed up for the 6-month wellness program after years of ill health and stress. While I had made significant strides in both my weight loss and nutritional health over the past 5 years, I felt I was “plateau-ing” and that my progress was stalling. I also felt I had some unknown obstacles/blocks to figure out and overcome. Cathy helped me break through some of the obstacles and blocks that were hijacking my progress. She got me thinking about and taking proactive action toward achieving my goals. Cathy is a wonderfully warm, compassionate, and caring “teacher/coach”. She is incredibly knowledgeable about nutrition, yoga, meditation, breathing, and other practices that I have adopted to help me with my progress.
I learned the impact that stress has had on my physical and emotional health and how I can minimize inflammation through a variety of practices as well as through nutrition. She is an active listener and always makes me feel like the things I am talking about are relevant and worthy.
Cathy prods me when necessary to have a “learning moment” and effectively delivers the knowledge needed. Continued...

Carol, continued
In closing, let me say that this 6-month Wellness Together program with Cathy has been joyful, positive and transformative for me. Cathy provided me with the knowledge and tools to be able to get out there and find the information I need to continue this path. Plus, we had lots of fun and laughed a lot. This is really key.

I attended one of Cathy’s Wellness Workshops and it was fabulous! It is amazing how you can fill up your soul with so much positive energy in 1-1/2 hours. The connections I made with the ladies in my circle were amazing & strong women, who too very much needed this workshop and time for themselves. Thank you, Cathy for reminding me how impactful & important journaling, resting and self-care are in our lives.

My conversations with Cathy are a reflection of the need for positivity. Respecting and taking care of myself by listening to what I know my body needs, is what Cathy has opened my eyes to as being an important aspect to my overall well-being. Cathy takes the time to listen, while she guides and supports me.

In our initial health consultation Cathy set the tone by creating a safe and secure space for me to explore my wellness. She asks thoughtful questions and listens with intent. Her approach is influenced by her experience as a yoga teacher. She understands the importance of breath and movement and incorporates this knowledge seamlessly. Cathy guides me to tune into my body and find solutions that work for me.

Cathy's Wheel of Wellness Workshop was enlightening and grounding. It was exactly what I needed in order to take a step back and slow myself down. I love any journal prompting that gets my wheels turning in an inspiring way. I walked away from this workshop at peace and full of gratitude. I can't wait to attend more of Cathy's workshops in the future.

I know Cathy as a yoga teacher. Her sincerity as a person, commitment to her students, and creativity as an instructor shine when she teaches. You feel you are in the hands of someone who loves what they do and wants to share that with others.

The Wheel of Wellness Workshop truly was a“restorative” time set aside to center, reflect and share. The experiences I enjoyed were enhanced by the experiences of the other attendees, most of whom we were meeting for the first time. I loved the connections I made. I had many “takeaways” and am practicing on my own. Very much needed!

I came back to practicing yoga a few months ago after many years, hoping to decrease joint pain. I am so delighted that Cathy has inspired me to make my practice and self-care an essential part of my weekly health and fitness routine. Cathy has a true gift of sharing and leading the practice of yoga. She is patient, nurturing, and so skilled at instructing body awareness and breath work. Her sequences are just the perfect combination of strengthening, stretching, and breathing. After her classes I feel great; stronger, more flexible, and centered.

As someone who has worked closely with Cathy and has been on the receiving end of her yoga classes, I can share that Cathy brings sunshine wherever she goes, and to everyone she interacts with. She empowers everyone she works with through her positivity and active/insightful listening. Cathy has an innate way of inspiring you to achieve the very best for yourself!
