My name is Catherine Florence. I live in High Crompton with my family and work in the areas of Shaw, High Crompton, Thornham, Royton, Oldham, Rochdale, Saddleworth and any area remotely when required as a fully qualified Reiki Master teacher and Sensible Yoga teacher.

On 8th Sept 2019 I became a fully self-employed holistic therapist /teacher.
In the past I have worked as a classroom assistant and previous to this a registered childminder. In school it was an honour to be given the opportunity to support children and young people through bereavement, loss and transition teaching Relax kids, Yoga, Mindfulness and Reiki.

My own therapy journey began 36 years ago at the age of 17 with some hypnotherapy sessions.
Suffering from Agoraphobia at the time, hypnotherapy and yoga became my best friends. Both were god sent and empowering skills that enabled me to self regulate and to eventually find enough courage to leave the house.

Allocating time to engage in a personal daily practise has seen my confidence in social situations grow from strength to strength. A Feeling of empowerment occurs each and every day, one step at a time, moment by moment just by finding the time to show up for myself. This practise includes reiki, yoga, breath work, meditation and mindfulness and is my go to mental health and wellbeing tool box for self care. It is a developing practise that is in a state of constant change.

My understanding is that stress and anxiety will always be present in and around my life. It’s how I choose to manage these challenges that is the key to experiencing freedom, ease, health and happiness in every day situations.

Over the past 10 years I have trained as a Sensible Yoga teacher, a Relax kids coach, a Reiki Master teacher, and most recently a Tropic ambassador
My hobbies are spending time with family, quality time with friends, yoga, swimming, reiki, walking with a group, walking the pug and bike riding

My passion is teaching adults and children stress management and relaxation techniques in groups, small or large or 1-1s virtually or in person. Equally passionate about supporting individuals or groups with personal development to propel them from where they are now to where they want to be.

All classes are flexible and can be adapted to suit any age or ability.
