• [As a result of coaching sessions with Catherine] I am more aware of how my body is feeling, and I am paying attention to when and why that feeling changes. Working with Catherine helped me realize that I only have one body and one life to care for myself.

  • I really enjoyed the precedent [that Catherine] set from the beginning that allowed us to feel safe and protected in the space. I specifically felt safe during the somatic exercise to really release the tension I felt in my body...I do not cry easy and somatic exercise allowed me to release held in tension/emotions and I left the workshop feeling refreshed, calm, and peaceful.

  • [I enjoyed] taking the time out for self-care, learning new ideas of ways to take moments for somatic interaction, even while I am working, on virtual meetings, etc. Learning of new ways to connect with myself, and with others. It awakened me to appreciate things that matter to me - including myself!

  • A key highlight for me was the space to reflect on how we can deepen our commitment to language justice and build more intentional, relational approaches to evaluation. I appreciated [Catherine's] insight on creating space for participants to define success in their own terms and share impact through storytelling. It affirmed much of what we’ve been working toward and gave me new ideas to bring into our evaluations strategic planning.
