Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.
Welcome to Integrated Wisdom, where I’m glad you’re joining me in this place of passionate support of women on their transformative path through motherhood.
My name is Catherine— a mom of five whose journey through motherhood has been anything but ordinary. Before embarking on this path as a mom, I couldn't have imagined the toll that motherhood would take on my body, mind, and spirit.
Before having my last child, I became chronically + extremely ill. It was a “mystery” to my allopathic doctors who couldn’t seem to help me, but only wanted to keep prescribing medications to mask my symptoms while sending me to specialist after specialist that all told me I wasn’t sick enough to warrant further testing and to “follow-up if things get worse”.
Every day during that time was a struggle. I couldn’t get out of bed most days, I would pass out taking showers, I was losing hair by the handful, I could only tolerate 5 foods for months on end, I lost 40 lbs in two months while being bed-ridden while trying to manage 4 kids day in and day out. I could barely stand in the kitchen to cook them a meal without feeling like I was going to faint. My heart rate would skyrocket doing the simplest things and I became incredibly sensitive to things that had never really bothered me before, like fluorescent lights, any scents/fragrance, the smell of gas/exhaust fumes, tons of foods— the list goes on. I couldn’t walk to the mailbox without being unable to breathe and becoming utterly exhausted— I could never fathom being able to exercise intentionally ever again. I had a hard time believing I would ever be able to take a normal walk outdoors without defeat during those dark times.
Navigating those days were some of the hardest times of my life, but a transformative awakening happened in the process of overcoming those difficult days.
Through the beautiful chaos of raising five children and navigating the waters of divorce, I discovered a profound transformation within myself. Instead of succumbing to the physical and emotional toll of motherhood + separation, I emerged stronger, healthier, and more vibrant than ever before.
This journey wasn't just about surviving; it was about thriving.
It was about reclaiming my health, vitality, and sense of self amidst the demands of motherhood, and eventually single-motherhood. Today, I look + feel better than I ever did before having children. My body is stronger, my energy boundless, and my resilience unshakeable.
It's this transformative journey that led me to do the work I do now. I became passionate about helping other women who, like me, felt that motherhood had changed them in ways they never anticipated – physically, mentally, and emotionally. I reclaimed my power + want to empower women like you who feel lost, sick, and longing for a life of radiance that you know is waiting on the other side of feeling like crap to do the same,
Whether you're struggling with hormonal imbalances, digestive distress, stubborn weight gain, feeling disconnected from your body, or simply seeking support on your journey to rediscover your vitality or enhance your longevity— I'm here to guide you every step of the way.
Through holistic health coaching, spiritual guidance, and ancestral wisdom, I'm dedicated to empowering women to embrace the fullness of their motherhood journey. Together, we'll unlock the wisdom of your body, nourish your spirit, and reclaim your divine feminine essence.
I invite you to join me on this transformative journey towards radiant health, profound vitality, and unshakeable resilience. Together, let's rewrite the narrative of motherhood and embrace the beauty of our bodies, minds, and souls.
I particularly enjoy working with women throughout motherhood continuum— from preconception all the way through pregnancy and postpartum, as well as fertility + menstrual cycle support. I believe that there has been a lack of emphasis on pre-conception preparation and detox, leading to children who are sick from birth due to heavy toxic burdens on their tiny bodies, as well as mothers who are more depleted than ever. I have a passion for helping women the root causes of their chronic health issues and taking back their power that has been lost to the mercy of their illnesses.
