“Catherine has truly been instrumental in helping me find my voice in writing through her instruction and meditations. She is a vessel of knowledge and has the kindest ways of connecting heart to hand. From day one when I met her, she was warm, friendly and welcoming. Such a breath of fresh air in a world where we can sometimes feel cut off. Catherine is passionate about guiding writers each step of the way and has a firm grasp on how to gently break through mental barriers. Her presence is calming and she is a gift to anyone who has the opportunity to work with her.”

“Catherine is such a joy to work with and support. Her ability to relate to people and share not only the art of writing, but incorporate science and learning is amazing. When Catherine came to work with our girls at the Dottie Rose Foundation, she created an entire experience. The girls were able to work through the writing process, brainstorm, and find encouragement and design. Catherine provided the space and energy that allowed the girls to truly be themselves and enjoy learning. We cannot wait to work with Catherine again.” 

Dr. Sharon Jones, Founder of the Dottie Rose Foundation

“I learned so much about myself, how to calm my body and de-stress.  Just what I needed!”

Truly a gift.”

“Catherine is as gifted with words as she is with people. In her workshops, she combines nature, neuroscience and her own gentle spirit to guide people on their own journeys of self-discovery. Catherine always makes you feel heard and held with her gifts from the sea and the gift of herself.”

Kathy Izard, Author and Speaker

Thank you so much for the lesson. I have been using your breathing techniques and have even meditated a few times.  I had a test and was nervous so I did the exercises you taught me. I ended up getting a 98!”

“Mrs. Farley’s workshop on mind, body, and soul care really helped me bring more peace and less anxiety into my life. Since the workshop, when I get stressed, I catch myself pausing and using the techniques in her class like journaling.”
