I am that I am.
I don’t say I am a healer – I facilitate others in their own healing, creating their own wellbeing and travelling their own path with joy and passion.
I believe to enjoy life, it does not have to be perfect. It's something I've learned from my own experiences – it didn't come easily.
Through several traumatic bereavements, mental and physical health issues, and the intensity of being a parent, I discovered how important it is to work on self and make sure I show up as myself, accepting and loving both the dark and light parts of me. One cannot exist fully without the other.
There is no such path as perfection, only the best version of self – and it is still a work in
progress.
That is the adventure. I never quite know what will happen next. Where I will go, who I will meet or
what might spark an idea.
I enjoy working with each individual that is called to their own healing and it is a privilege to support people as they grow.
I have been working with energy for a long time, as long as I can remember, I knew there was something so much greater than just what we see.
Being raised as a Catholic, I was introduced to many ideas that no longer wholly resonate with me,
but I experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit many times. At 14, when I was confirmed, it was a
powerful experience. It was the first time I experienced what I know to be Spirit, Angels or The
Goddess (so many names to mean the same thing) and no matter where I meditated or prayed, be it
Church, a Christian Healing centre, Reiki, Shamanic Healing, 5 Rhythms or Tae Kwon Do, It has always
felt the same.
Loneliness, abuse, deep sadness, bereavement, depression, illness and fear. They were the times I
most pulled towards it. Even being at a rock concerts, I always felt the spirit moving and guiding
me.
Guided me To experience a powerful reiki session from a friend who was training – and knew that I
would train.
Guided me To my husband and to our children. Even though I had to go through loss and suffering in order to make space for him to appear.
I only really paid full attention, was after my sister had died.
I was at a holistic fair and kept being pulled to a particular stall – but nothing was sitting right.
I was ready to leave but someone started playing a singing bowl and I was told – you must go again –
and I happened to notice a little box of envelopes with coloured stickers.
It pulled me in. I selected one, doubted it and was told to take that one.
When I opened it – the word was Hope. Hope was my sister’s confirmation name and is associated with
Archangel Gabriel. Some people believe, the Angel of Hope is Gabriel’s twin flame. Gabriel comes to
you in your hours of need and offers protection.
From then On I knew, I started having regular reiki treatments - I had been looking at the lady’s name for two years and I just knew it was NOW.
I have done a lot of work in my own way but have been guided by several wonderful reiki teachers, and colleagues to Master Reiki Level. In 2011 I was introduced to shamanic healing at a very bad time in my life, and it was electric. I had always had a calling toward Shamanism and as soon as the healings happened, I knew that it was deeply with in me. I continued to practise the energy healing where I could with small children around, with several years of intensive psychotherapy and homeopathy, deeply personal yoga nidra and energy healings. It was a dark but transformational time, and still I continue to transform.
As a Weleda advisor,I learned so much more about working with the Earth, developed a deep
communication with the Elemental beings / Nature spirits and the rhythms we can use to heal us which
became a huge part of the way I communicate with Spirit.
And then I was ready. It clicked. The teacher I had met in 2011 practically arrived on my doorstep
again in 2018, after a few years abroad, and I have continued to work with her. I also continue to
work on myself, grow, heal and study as I work towards my reflexology qualification. It is a
continuous, spiraling path where I am remembering to trust and believe in my own abilities.
Working with people as they are at the end of life, working with women before they are even pregnant
and seeing them conceive even against all odds, is a huge blessing in my life, an absolute gift to
see people through these transformative periods.
To see people overcoming huge trauma, stress, loss or illness, sometimes against the odds, and
rediscover the version of them they lost, that is beautiful. I am constantly humbled by the stories
people share.
Seeing the clients that I work with grow in themselves, work out who they are and open their wings,
is a beautiful process.
So This is me,
I am Cate
I am ready.
Are you?
