There are a thousand ways to take care of yourself. Yoga works. Strength training works. Meditation works. Better sleep works. Routines, food, stretching, coaching, rest, tracking, time outside—these can all be useful tools.
But not every tool belongs to every person.
What works beautifully for one person may be completely wrong for another—or simply wrong for you right now.
Lensing is how I determine what actually belongs in your life.
I look at you as a whole person: your body, your mind, your patterns, your circumstances, your history, your responsibilities, and what is actually happening now. Then we determine where change can begin and which tools are worth using.
I don't teach you what worked for just me. I Lens what will work for you.
What is “Lensing”?
Why Lensing Exists
Most of us don't have a shortage of advice. We have more information, programs, practices, routines, experts, apps, and opinions than we could possibly use.
The problem is figuring out what deserves a place in your life.
Sometimes you need a new tool. Sometimes you need to use an old one differently. Sometimes the thing you've been trying to make yourself do simply isn't the right thing for you. And sometimes what looks like the problem isn't actually where the work needs to begin.
That's where Lensing starts.
What I Actually Do
I begin by paying attention before deciding what needs to change.
I look at what’s happening across your real life—your body, your mind, your routines, your environment, your responsibilities, your patterns, and what you’ve already tried. We identify where the most useful place to begin actually is, rather than assuming the problem is where it first appears.
From there, I draw from a lifetime of tools, training, and experience to select what makes sense for you. We try it in your actual life, pay attention to what happens, and adjust as we learn more.
That might include movement, stretching, food, sleep, structure, rest, routines, conversation, tracking, a Pattern Interrupt, or something else entirely. Sometimes we add something. Sometimes we change how you’re already doing something. Sometimes we stop doing something that never belonged there in the first place.
Lensing isn’t the tool. Lensing is how I determine which tools to use, when to use them, and when something needs to change.
BODY ⇄ MIND
You are one whole person. Your body and mind don't operate in separate rooms.
What happens physically can change how you think, feel, respond, and function. What happens mentally and emotionally can change how you move, sleep, eat, recover, breathe, and care for yourself.
That's why I don't automatically decide that a physical problem needs a physical answer—or that something happening in your mind should be approached only through your mind.
Sometimes we begin with BODY. Sometimes we begin with MIND. Often, changing one gives us information about the other.
Lensing helps us determine where to begin.

What Will I Get From This?
It is up to you. Cat’s goal is to use all of the skills and knowledge she has and pass it to you. Cat wants your mind to feel positive, your body to feel healthy and pain-free, and for you to Live as the Individual and remarkable person you really are. You can see Cat intermittently, or for an acute issue (sleep habits could be an example,) or for a more long-term overall Wellness plan. She wants you to feel, know, and see that fully. Plans for time frames and frequency vary.
Can I Do Virtual Video?
Virtual sessions are available for any type of lensing except hands-on work by Cat. Yes, this means Cat teaches practices like yoga, physical and psychological coaching, at-home life changes, and more via a video platform, like Zoom. You don’t need alot of space. Cat went through special schooling to be able to perform everything she does (except hands-on) online/virtually. At first, Cat may have a setup where you can follow her movements, graduating eventually to simply being guided. Meditation, thoughtfulness, habits, yoga, stretching, self-help, and more are all available via live video platform. Plans for time frames and frequency vary.
What Happens for In-Person Sessions?
This is the most common. In-Person sessions provide Cat the ability to do hands-on work such a PNF and physical help with learning movements for your body. This also provides Cat the chance to see your environment so she can help you to think of ways to improve your surroundings to support a vibrant Self. She brings all the tools. You need nothing but your beautiful Self. Over time, Clients usually purchase tools recommended by so that they regularly have access to them. (*Colorado Clients Only have access to this option, specific areas apply and rates vary.) Plans for time frames and frequency vary.
Who Can Sign Up?
Anyone with the following 4 specifications::
1) 35 years and older
2) ready to do the work
3) willing to have an open mind
4) and capable of financially supporting their journey
If you fall into those categories, you are welcome to schedule a paid consultation with Cat. She currently is accepting Clients ages 35-90 years old (yes, she has 80+ year old Clients as well). Anyone under 35 is welcome to reach out to ask questions. Cat does not work with minors - Please see Recommendations page for outsourced practitioners.
What If I Don’t Know What I Want?
Oh boy, who really does?! This is what paid consultations are all about. We discover what your Life is like, how your body feels, and if you are where you want to be in Life. From there we can develop a plan that works for you, which may be in-person (*Colorado specific towns only), virtual (phone and/or video), or hybrid.
Can I Do Virtual by Phone Instead?
You can choose to have Cat on-hand (with timing exceptions) by phone, once a week coaching for a period of time, or the recommended twice a week for a period of time with gradual decrease in sessions. People often choose this option if they don’t prefer to be seen, or, they simply need voiced coaching. Should it be necessary, and it has been for Clients in the past, you may even arrange more frequent calls for acute issues such as obtaining Sobriety coaching. Plans for time frames and frequency vary.
Can I Do Hybrid Sessions?
Absolutely! If you are a Colorado resident in specific areas you are applicable for in-person sessions. The typical move is to begin twice a week in-person for a period of time, then the graduation steps are to twice a week with one visit being Virtual and the other In-Person for another period of time, then twice a week virtually, and ultimately just on-hand! Hybrid sessions are also particularly helpful to those who travel alot or have very minimal availability. Plans for time frames and frequency vary.
