Booking your first Session
Start your Yoga Therapy Journey with a free assessment session. You will be asked to fill out an intake form after choosing a time slot, this is required!
Please select a date and time below:
Business Policies
First-time clients will need to indicate on their intake form that they have read and agree to abide by these policies.
-
Unless you make prior arrangements with me, you’ll need to pay for your sessions in advance. If you book online, you’ll be directed to pay online either through Paypal (you do NOT need an account with them) or to pay by credit card. Otherwise you’ll receive an invoice with instructions on how to pay online.
-
Should you need to cancel or reschedule that session, you must do so at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled session. If you reschedule, you can apply your payment to the new session. Otherwise, you’ll receive a refund to the card you used to make the payment. Exceptions will be made to the 24 hour rule for illness, medical or family emergencies.
What do sessions look like?
During the (free) assessment session and early in our work we will establish an overall framework for meeting your goals.
Sessions normally start with a check-in to see how your issues are manifesting that day, and then continue with a customized blend of:
Relevant insights from Yoga/ Ayurveda/Psychology/Mindfulness
A series of asanas (postures) that specifically relate to what you’ve brought in that day, usually accompanied by guided imagery that ties the asana to the relief you seek; and
Mindfulness meditation.
We conclude by selecting at-home practices that will help you keep the healing and growth going between sessions. You receive a write-up of these practices.

“Your knowledge, training and intuition make your work so powerful and I love the uniquely tailored guided meditations, instead of something not specifically created for my situation.For me talk therapy only peels back so many layers.
Accessing emotions into the physical body I can tap deeper. I can set my reasoning, thinking and conscious mind aside and notice what and where I have spaciousness and where there is tension.
For me, yoga therapy was useful when all other techniques that I have learned were not working.”

“I was so fortunate to have been led to Cat’s skilled, compassionate and wise hands during a time of major transformational crisis. I had never in my life been so raw, so undone, so hurting. I was in a position of needing so much.
Looking back, it almost makes me cry to know that I somehow was lucky enough to have come upon her work. Although I had no idea what yoga therapy was and what it would entail, I knew I was supposed to be there. Being able to pull the pain, heartache and all of the stored emotions I had stuffed down for decades with Cat throughout that year was worth 10 years of therapy.
She knows how to follow you into your body and it’s wisdom so that you are never alone with what comes up and guides you back. I, a guarded skeptic, was able to open up to a place of vulnerability with her because I felt I could fully trust the safety of the space she created. God, thinking back…. this makes me teary. Thank you one million times for your big heart, for never leaving me hanging when I was so lost. The well was deep!”
