About Cathy
Thanks for taking the time to visit me at Universal Body Wisdom. I create workshops, classes and teacher trainings in the field of classical and contemporary yoga. I offer spiritual transformational retreats in magnificent places of natural beauty, healing sessions in Universal Body Wisdom and events because I want us all to thrive in this life time.
I recently founded and directed The Celtic Woodland Yoga Festival in Ireland because I love bringing people together in powerful places around the world.
After many decades of immersion in consciousness expanding practices, travel and the arts, I have come to understand how to work with Prana, the Life Force Energy, the Intelligence of The Universe…
I wish to share this wisdom with you and help you unearth that same joyful incandescence within yourself.
I take my practice seriously and see discipline as a form of self-love. My practice includes but is not limited to Yoga, although for many years it was mostly yoga asana & meditation. My practice has evolved to a place where I do my best to live in a meditative state of being, connected & in observer consciousness as much as my mind will be there and taking care of the wonderful vehicle that carries my consciousness, the body. I have met with many great teachers that have guided & mentored me. I have always looked for teachers that I thought could be a good friends to have, I see now this was great intuitive guidance. Some of the teachers I feel forever grateful to and still work with are Kirsten Berg & Mitchell Gold, Graeme & Leonie Northfield, Randall O’Leary and my spiritual mentor Donald Hanson and my dear friend & Light Worker Ciara Kirby.
Since 2001 I have been in a deep process of spiritual healing & purification, during that time I qualified as a certified Cellular Healing Therapist. In this process we learn to develop intuitive & psychic skills. We also get to clear the path way for sacred energy to flow through and that is some seriously cool and fascinating stuff as it unlocks old behaviours, thought patterns and raises our level of consciousness in a profound and powerful way! Together, the Cellular Healing and Classical Yoga teachings have given birth to Universal Body Wisdom™.
From December to March Cathy can usually be found on the beautiful island of Koh Phangan in Thailand where she teaches classes, offers sessions and often holds retreats in The Sanctuary Thailand. From March to May she is in Bali where she has a schedule of retreats & workshops and teaches yearly at The Bali Spirit Festival.
