PreNatal Sessions

Catherine gave me confidence I needed to go into labor. By using vocal tones, I was able to focus on pushing and not be distracted by pain. My childbirth assistant said that I probably reduced my labor time by 6-10 hours because of my willingness to try different movement, yoga postures and sound during labor. - Theresa Flynn

The experience of connecting with our hearts stands out as powerful. I needed to slow down and connect with the baby. Toning with the yoga postures brought me into gentle quietness. Experiencing the fluids helped me go with the energy of labor. I was connected deeply at the cellular level in labor so I could ride with it. - Colleen Ahlers Moore

As a dancer, I already have a very tuned physical connection to my muscle, my weight balancing and to staying physically active in pregnancy. But Catherine gave me a profound connection to my inner self – my baby, my organs, flow of energy, emotions, spirit, time, paying attention, being with other women, pregnant women spirits. Catherine is a master a sensing experience and bringing pregnant women closer to their inner being to aid in birth. - Erin Thompson

As a first time mom, I had a lot of fears and concerns about how to stay healthy during my pregnancy. Catherine gave me confidence and support to work through my fears and learn to trust my body. I strongly believe that without her, my pregnancy, labor and deliver and post-partum experience would not have gone so smoothly. I highly recommend Catherine to all pregnant women. She certainly exceeded my expectations and especially helped to make my labor and delivery a rewarding and healthy experience.

I learned to use my breathing to move through my contractions; to let the intensity move through my breath into the earth. My favorite part was dancing and moving with my baby and body. I used the hip movements during my labor to help me work with my contractions and let go of the tension.

I always left feeling so good about my body and my spirit. These feelings stayed with me during the challenging and stressful parts of my pregnancy. Thanks, Cat. You have a real gift for helping women work with and find enjoyment and confidence in their bodies. - Carol Fogarty

The exercise that involved the balls and softening into the balls really helped during childbirth. Learning to let the pain flow out helped tremendously. Yoga helped at the beginning stages of labor. It helped me feel strong.

Catherine helped me feel very confident in my body, mind and instincts.

Toning helped me focus on pelvic sling (muscles) as well as explore the power of connecting sound with body.

You are to be commended for your ability to sense my needs and go with the flow instead of forcing the material/content on me. Your gentle, caring style is profound.

Going into my animal body was very relaxing and comforting. I feel now that my body knows how to birth.

I didn’t think I would vocalize during the birth; I felt uncomfortable doing it. But in labor I closed my eyes and moaned the whole time. I really went inward and let my body do what it needed to do. Birth was intense but it was the funnest thing I’ve every done.

The activity of undulating our spines really helped during labor.
