Voices of Healing
Hear from those who have found their way to balance at the Ix'chel Center.
Cathy has such a calming, caring presence and truly helped me through a really difficult time in my life. Her Closing of the Bones ceremony and massage therapy made me feel supported, grounded, and finally able to start healing both physically and emotionally. She is truly such a wonderful person and anyone who works with her is lucky to be in her care.
Christine Carney
Client
Cathy is a seasoned and wonderful teacher who truly lives from the heart. Her Level One training has been the gift that keeps on giving, as I continue to use the tools I learned in both my own life and with my clients. The Womb Care practices have been especially instrumental and deeply supportive. Ixchel center feels like a second home to me.
Jacqueline Hyacynth
Student
Being a student and a client of Cathy, I can attest to how experienced and competent she is in her field. The first abdominal massage I received from her quite literally changed my life, inspiring me to become a practitioner myself.
