I am passionate on health and well-being on all levels of our being. I am open to new information, exploring possibilities and learning. I will be forever a student of life, of the elements, energy, herbs, healing, dimensions, soul, spirit, the cosmos and what they try to teach me.

Herbs – As a kinesiologist with 18 years’ experience working with clients and their needs on many levels, I have worked with the energy and muscle testing of supplements and herbal remedies that a client may need.
Since 2024, I have felt the need to develop further my relationship with herbs, I am passionate about growing, their energy, and working with herbs.
Becoming medicinally self-sufficient is very important to me, and with the rapid expansion of the energy fields right now, it feels right for me to work on an interconnected energy level with herbs in numerous ways.
An excellent safe space. Catherina has played an integral part in me overcoming some unexpected life curve balls that have been thrown my way.
Through both talk and Integrated healing I find myself in a happier, healthier position. And I’ll continue my visits to Catherina in the future.

I always look forward to my kinesiology sessions with Catherina as I know afterwards that I’ll be more focussed on my health and feeling a lot better within myself. Kinesiology has helped me in many ways both physically and mentally and would recommend it to anyone who feels that they need a little help in improving their wellbeing

I have been a client of Catherina’s for the last number of years. Not only is she friendly, knowledgeable and professional, but she is a lovely soul. I have found that Kinesiology was able to treat a number of issues I have been having from digestive to muscular to emotional. I could’nt recommend both Catherina and Kinesiology enough.

Kinesiology has helped me so much in the past year since Catherina was recommended to me by a family member. My energy levels have increased and I have become a more positive person, learning to be more patient and accepting of myself as well as dealing with grief and health issues. I am so glad I started going, it’s one of the best things i’ve ever done for myself
