“I felt the soul’s ‘tap on my shoulder’ when I had the urge to use writing to process some of my family’s patterns and history. I needed an experienced guide to gently help me move into and through my exploration. Catharine was the right person. Gentle, intuitive and inquiring, she listens well and I trust her to know how to use writing to discover and uncover hidden treasures of the heart.”
