OUR STORY
Life has thrown many challenges my way, and I believe each one has shaped me into who I am today. I’m so grateful for these experiences; they've been my training ground.
Growing up, my dad was very strict, and I spent my childhood as a 'good girl' and a people-pleaser.
My first love shattered my heart when he cheated on me. At 20, my fiancé did the same. These experiences taught me betrayal and led me to build walls around my heart, which I’m only now beginning to dismantle after 30 years.
I’ve experienced addiction in loved ones—drug and gambling addictions—and the lies that came with them taught me mistrust.

Hello, I'm Cathy,
My beautiful Mum battled depression and psychosis for 10 years, which changed her completely. Witnessing her struggle and being so far away taught me helplessness.
Raising my first child was overwhelming. She was challenging, and I had no experience. Trying to conceive my second child was a difficult journey that included Monash IVF and then a premature birth. My son spent months in NICU and was sick for two years. This whole experience left me feeling broken.
Afterwards, I battled depression myself for 18 months, relying on antidepressants and facing rock bottom and self-loathing.
Losing my Mum to bowel cancer at 60 plunged me into deep grief and my beautiful Dad has now passed as well.
Moving to the other side of the world meant starting over completely, leaving behind amazing family and friends. I learned what it's like to rebuild life from scratch.
Depression became my greatest catalyst for growth. Since recovering 5 years ago, I’ve devoted myself to healing, unraveling and rebuilding layer by layer. Confronting trauma and embracing my shadow hasn't been easy, but the results are evident. I’m triggered less, my heart is healing, and I now feel worthy and even powerful.
I believe my diverse experiences have prepared me to support others on their healing journeys. I’ve walked in many shoes and my souls purpose is to inspire others, showing that thriving is possible regardless of your story.
My soul’s purpose now is to help humanity thrive. With a property featuring a spacious American Barn, I’ll conduct my own signature breathwork and cold plunge sessions.
I’ll also rent out my space to facilitators, healers, and teachers who share my mission of fostering health in body, mind, and spirit.
I cherish my space and am excited to share it with you. I look forward to our journey together x
