“I learned about Mayan Abdominal Massage from my mom who was trying to help me in my painful journey to get pregnant. My husband and I tried to become pregnant for 1 and 1/2 years before I met Catherine. I had not heard of Mayan massage before and was open to trying anything to get pregnant. When I first met Catherine I was immediately drawn to her kind energy. Being in the emotional state I was in after a year of diagnostic tests, hormone treatments, and increased doubt and anxiety, Catherine was very understanding and provided me a safe place to have all those emotions. The Maya massage was immensely healing for me and I did the self-care exercises each night. I felt more in control of my situation that had been so out of my control for too long. The massage just became a part of my routine each night. Not long afterwards I found out I was pregnant and now have a healthy baby boy! Catherine did more for me than massage; she was a calm presence who was a part of my journey to motherhood.”
"In our world, there are people and there are Earth angels. Catherine is an Earth angel. Her wisdom, kindness and gentleness are rare gifts. Her healing hands and heart are unparalleled. Her connection to spirit is powerful. Pregnancy and birthing my daughter was a profound healing journey, and I am deeply grateful for Catherine’s trusted guidance and nurturing in the process. Catherine is truly a master healer."
"I think my husband and I both agree that meeting Catherine was a turning point in our journey toward parenthood. We can't possibly thank Catherine enough for the difference she has made in our lives. We first came to know Catherine through her Fertile Being classes after years of struggling with unexplained infertility. We attended the classes together and experienced the healing journey as a couple and partnership. The classes brought us closer together as well as helped us to share our experiences of the struggle more openly -- with each other as well as with other people. They opened us up to acceptance of our journey and allowed us to move forward with healing. They also taught us powerful coping techniques that work for us in all aspects of our lives, not just in our fertility journey. I'm confident we will be better parents for it. In addition, it was liberating to meet and interact with other couples also struggling with fertility issues.
I also got to know Catherine on a more one-on-one basis through her Maya Abdominal Therapy sessions. I enjoyed the massages immensely. I followed the self-care techniques and many other recommendations that Catherine made. As a result, I began to experience less painful cramping during my menstrual cycles -- an outcome I never expected. I thought cramping was normal! The prenatal massages are wonderful as well!
My husband and I ultimately turned to IVF to help us achieve pregnancy, but our work with Catherine helped us to be absolutely at peace with this decision. I once described Catherine to a fellow client as "she is just good therapy", and I stand by that. Beyond the physical therapy offered by her wonderful massages, Catherine's calm demeanor and generous, accepting heart frequently provide emotional healing as well. I always feel more relaxed when I leave a session with Catherine. My husband said "I wouldn't be in the place I am today if it wasn't for Catherine". So Catherine, with heartfelt gratitude, thank you for all that you do!"
"Maya Abdominal Massage helped me to let go of old wounds and brought me into my body in a way that nothing else has. It brought a genuine awareness of what it is to be a woman; it grounded, centered, and integrated this primordial energy, something our culture doesn’t typically recognize or value. As I settle into a new experience of being a woman, I am naturally a more grounded mother."
