Over the past year, I’ve worked with Cat in two small groups. Coming into the coaching experience, I was looking for clarity of career and purpose. Coaching did help me figure out some of those things, but more than that I learned to accept responsibility for every aspect of my life. That wasn’t easy at times and it was really great being in a supportive group watching others learn those lessons too.

But what was really special about the experience was that Cat didn’t just offer support and accountability for what I thought I should be working on. She challenged me to turn my attention towards things I was actively avoiding–the things I was afraid to face. Now, I finally understand that I create all of it–the good and the bad. I’m more confident about what I truly want and I know I have all the power, time and energy that I need to keep changing my life. I am, everyday.

Catherine continuously impressed me with her insights and wisdom as she helped me to shift my perspectives and challenged me to truly align my actions with my goals. Although patient and kind, she is also a firm coach who wasn’t afraid to call her clients out on their BS nor encourage them to dig deeper (and offer the tools to do so). Through my professional relationship with Catherine, I am more in tune to my core strengths and beliefs and no longer feel pushed by fear, but rather pulled by the vision of my larger goals – a powerful gift. I would highly recommend her coaching services to others and look forward to our continued relationship!

Cat was (and is) a powerful partner that guided me to see how I was stopping myself from reaching my goals and dreams. Her style of coaching is not hand-holding or cheerleading, it’s empowering. She challenged me with her words and questions all while being kind and supportive. She is professional, powerful, and brilliant. I received so much more than I could have imagined while working with her.

It’s been, exactly, two years since I started working officially with Cat. And I say officially because before that, Cat supported me to make a decision to actually start pursuing my dreams as a Meditator Guide, Become a Coach myself, and a Speaker about Peace.

Every conversation has been a delight to have with her. I get challenged to be my best self while at the same time I have fun and get enough space to open up on what I need and get supported.

I can’t recommend Cat enough for anyone that’s ready to be on demand for what they want, and even for the ones that are doubtful about it… she’ll challenge you, you’ll see.

Catherine has been a true gift in my life as a coach. When I started working with her, I was deeply unhappy with my career and it was dragging the rest of my life down. She recognized that I needed to do some inner work before I would be ready to truly tackle my projects I said I wanted to work on, so she took me on a journey to understand myself more deeply. It was uncomfortable. She asked hard questions that no one had asked me. But from those questions came clarity. Clarity on who I am as a person, how I act when stressed or under pressure, how I want to experience happiness. Seven months after starting working with her, I have career direction that I’ve not had in almost 20 years. I have launched my own coaching business, enrolled in an accredited coaching certification program, and I am marching toward fulfilling my dreams. My whole life has transformed, and not just my relationship with my career. If you had told me seven months ago that my life could be as different as it is now, I’m would have wanted to believe it, but would have been skeptical. I credit the transformation to working with a coach as talented and motivating as Catherine. She encouraged me when things were hard and always focused me on what mattered–my relationship with myself. She saw my potential and helped me believe in it too. I would not hesitate to hire Catherine again and would encourage anyone considering hiring a coach to hire Catherine.

I had such a positive experience while working with Catherine Wood as my life coach and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to take this step in their life. What I love about Catherine is she is not afraid to ask pointed questions that challenge the beliefs you hold about yourself while being equally compassionate throughout the entire process. Just from our initial consultation, I was able to make a decision and take action on an area of my career that I had been ruminating over for two years! If it wasn’t for that first phone call with Catherine, I know that I would still be stuck doing a job that I no longer found a passion in. Unsurprisingly, it was after that first phone call that I decided to hire Catherine as my life coach. I have experienced a great deal of growth since I began life coaching both emotionally and financially. Whatever the reason you are seeking a life coach, whether it be for your career or to better an interpersonal relationship, you should be confident you found the right coach in Catherine.

Catherine is one of the most amazing people I have ever met and worked with. She is the life coach who lets you know and believe that anything is possible. I worked with Catherine after quitting my job as an attorney. My goal was to grow my fashion business and also become a life coach. Within six months of working with Catherine, I had doubled my fashion business growth and revenue, and enrolled in a great ICF certified life coaching program.

Catherine supported me every week in shifting my context from hobbyist business woman to boss lady CEO. From setting daily and weekly goals and priorities, to creating an environment that supported my growth and transformation, Catherine offered me the right support that allowed my ideas to grow and flourish. I made the transition to exactly who and what I wanted to be, and doing exactly what I love doing.

Catherine cares about people. Being a life coach is not a job for Catherine. It is a way of life. Helping and supporting others, and being a realistic and enthusiastic supporter comes naturally to Catherine. She sees your potential, and allows you to grow into full potential, all while enjoying the journey, and creating an awareness of what is truly possible for your life. I 100% enjoy working with Catherine, and credit her with my incredible transformation as a woman, mother and business woman. She helped me gain perspective of what it means to fully take charge of my life and my career to create amazing possibilities.

I highly recommend choosing Catherine if you are looking for a life coach that will support you, and bridge that gap from where you are to where you want to go.

Working with Cat was a gift – she was a powerful partner in my journey to discover my own unconditional self love, and what is possible in my life when I come from a foundation of trust and full ownership. Highly recommend to anyone looking to lean into deeper, more authentic love for themselves, others, and beyond!

Catherine is not another ordinary coach that you can find online or in the community. She is full of insight, passion, love, consciousness and expertise. Through working with Catherine, I was able to have breakthroughs in my life and I really enjoyed our sessions. I highly recommend having a session with her!

I first came to Cat to help me find my way out of a bad career experience/boss and ended up gaining so much more. We worked together over two different group coaching sessions. Not only did I eventually find a new job and was able to tackle my interviews from an empowered and authentic place thanks to Cat, I was also able to gain clarity on what I wanted for both my career and my life. Cat is a great guide and shared many amazing resources to help me to make myself a priority in my life – expressing my needs and feelings more, taking control of my calendar/how I spend my time, discovering what ‘normal’ is for me, defining how I want relationships in my life to be, and ways to prioritize my health and wellbeing to make everything work best for me. Cat does a great job creating a safe sharing environment and connecting all participants in the group coaching; even when I’m not sharing or working directly on my needs, I’m still gaining tremendous insights and lessons from my co-participants, and Cat always found a way to relate the conversation back to me and my goals, too. I’m taking away greater skills in communication, responsibility, leadership, confidence, and self-expression – and am confident you would, too, if you worked with Cat! I look forward to keeping in touch and continuing to be inspired by Cat as I continue to work on my goals on my own now, and hope to be on one of her next PACK retreats in 2020!

Catherine, I knew I had to hire her when she had me squirming in my chair in our first meeting. Her insightful questions assured me she had the skills to both perceive and make me address my thought processes that were restraining my progress. In two short months she has managed to walk me through my internal noise into a stride of actively creating the future I want. Her intuitive ability to read past your statements and lead you to your true stumbling blocks is amazing and incredibly valuable. What an excellent return on my investment.

I highly recommend Catherine to anyone. When I starting working with Cat, I was unsure of what direction I wanted to take and felt confused about my plans and goals. Under Cat’s guidance, I became very clear about what I wanted to create and how I was standing in my own way. I went into coaching mostly to have confidence about my direction in life, but I got so much more than I was expecting. She truly shows you the path to unlocking your potential and to showing up as the best version of yourself every day. Definitely take advantage of her free consultation session…it’s completely free whether or not you decide to work with her, so you have nothing to lose! I guarantee that you will be challenged, inspired, and convinced that you need to work with her after one call.

I had the privilege of experiencing the powerful coaching skills of Catherine Wood during our most recent retreat to the Dominican Republic! Catherine supported me in discovering vital energy that is now fueling my professional and personal life. I find myself more committed to show up for myself, my projects, and those dearest to my heart! Catherine is a pure reflection of joy and love! She artfully held space of all of the retreat participants, while challenging us to dive deep into our true essence and to own it!

I had never worked with a coach before, so I had no idea what to expect. I was looking for someone to tell me what to do so I could be confident in my path. What I found with Catherine was a partner in discovering what I truly want for my life. She challenged me to see my own greatness and to know I have all the answers already. I became aware of a confidence I never knew I had. I wake up knowing I create what’s possible for my life each day. When I was (often) afraid to get out of my comfort zone, she was a strong stand for me, holding me accountable to my commitments. I am forever grateful in having the opportunity to work with Catherine. If you’re ready to move your life forward and follow your dreams, have a partner who will stand for your greatness and be committed to you discovering and living your life full on, Catherine is the coach for you!!

Working with Catherine (one-on-one and as part of a group she runs for women) made me realize that for all my apparent self-confidence, I was fundamentally lacking confidence and trust in myself, and it was holding me back from pursuing my dreams. For my entire adult life, I had learned how to keep my eye on what I really wanted, but never quite let myself have it. With targeted practices and tools and incredibly transformative coaching sessions, I was able to break through old patterns and find the belief in myself I needed. I am finally allowing myself to create the life I always wanted, without apology. That currently includes allowing myself to articulate my audacious vision for my business, and allowing myself to say no to things I don’t want instead of saying “yes” because I’m afraid I can’t have the things I do want.

I highly, highly recommend working with her.

My experience working with Cat helped me make some important life decisions – such as deciding to leave an unfulfilling job for a new one – by coaching me to better understand and assess what I value and what I wanted ultimately. I recommend working with Cat to anyone who feels stuck and would benefit from expert guidance and support to make some life changing decisions but also to identify those patterns of behavior that hold us back from achieving what we really want.

Working with Cat was a wonderful, interesting, fulfilling and enlightening experience. At 64 years of age, I was hesitant at first to work with a younger coach, but Cat’s expertise was evident in our first conversation, and I never questioned that again.

So many of the issues one deals with are based on the past, and initially it was difficult for me to believe that it was possible to truly change, and become the person I wanted to be, since the past can’t be changed. I had specific personal goals I wanted out of coaching, and Cat guided me and provided feedback and offered tools to help me make those changes and to reach those goals.
Cat came highly recommended and she did not disappoint. Her interest and commitment to her clients is profound.

After talking with Cat three times a month for seven months, I feel different. I am different. It is still surprising to me that that’s even possible.

I remain so grateful for all that she taught me and for all that she helped me to achieve.

I pushed past my comfort zone and I feel stronger and happier and healthier in my life, my personal life, and my business.

Cat has really helped me rediscover the joy in my work; she’s transformed the way I relate to it, and to myself.

Catherine is a consummate professional who gives her very best to her clients. She is caring and conscientious, while bringing forth a wealth of knowledge from financial perspective. The ultimate goal is careful balance of emotional, spiritual, and financial harmony. Her style and delivery is a breath of fresh air to all who have the fortunate opportunity to be in her presence.

When I first started life coaching, I was pretty morose about my work life. I felt stuck, like I wasn’t progressing in my career. I was overwhelmed with expectations, both those I set for myself and what I thought were others’ expectations. I felt like I wasn’t sure who I was anymore. The professional me acted wooden, seemed constantly fearful—of doing something wrong and/or being discovered as a fraud incapable of doing her job, and was constantly on edge, leading me to be quite testy.

Catherine helped me to identify the root cause of these problem areas, which was my unspoken belief that I wasn’t good enough. This self-limiting belief not only affected the way that I showed up in the workplace but also how I related to others in my personal life.

To help me build my self love and feelings of confidence, Catherine gave me various exercises, such as brief questionnaires for family and friends, which helped me to see my strengths as well as tap into areas of improvement. From powerful mantras to great tools, like the coaching project design method, Catherine armed me with all sorts of useful information and tricks to boost my self-esteem and move me closer to my goals.

Besides coaching on a better way to relate to oneself, a more loving way to treat oneself, Catherine constantly challenged me to try new things and to reach for the stars. I didn’t believe many things were possible for me before I started life coaching. I was afraid of failure and judgment.

Challenging myself and taking on activities that I found intimidating were very healing and confidence boosting. I wanted to be able work on bigger projects and wasn’t sure how to broach the topic. For a while I simply waited and hoped my boss would offer a new and important project to me. Catherine pointed out that I could always ask for what I felt I deserved. Asking for what I felt I deserved was something I’d never really done before because it dawned on with repeated sessions that I didn’t honestly feel like I deserved very much.

Another very helpful aspect of Catherine’s services is that she helped me to identify my patterns of thinking and acting. I have this thing where I go into “panic mode.” Envisioning a more self-assured, self-loving person, I realized that being self-loving means trusting yourself and knowing that the answers are within you.

The girl who sought life coaching was sad, frustrated, and pessimistic. The person I am now is someone who has a much more loving relationship with self. I am now a person who is committed to taking on any challenge because I know that I can do it. I am much more self-aware. I recognize the familiar, comforting, and unproductive things that I may do in times of high stress and try not to do them. I view myself more as a team member than an individual who is just trying to keep afloat in the workplace. I am gentler with myself, no more being hard on myself. I see my gifts and the ways in which I can use these gifts to make my life and others’ lives better. I am no longer shy about asking for what I think I deserve. I am more myself at work. I care less about what others think and how they will receive my messages. I know and will constantly remind myself that I am good enough, I am smart enough, and I am beautiful enough.

I highly recommend Catherine as a coach and encourage anyone that’s not living a life they love to speak with her.

I started working with Cat during the summer of 2015 because I had noticed that I wasn’t very comfortable asking people for things. In fact I hated asking people for anything, regardless of the context or relationship, which was hurting my business! After all if you want to do business you have to ask for it. Furthermore you have to put a price on your value, which I was also struggling with!

While working together we have had so many valuable discussions on a range of topics, including many things that I was never aware of but impacted by all of the time. These subjects ranged from discussions regarding confidence and anxiety, to how I approach my life and the lenses through which I see it. For example, we uncovered that I often approach things in a performance context, which can be incredibly negative and self-deprecating, even though I would never, ever treat another person like that. I’m extremely optimistic, so this was a huge surprise to me. Once I was aware of it however, it was shocking how often and how severely I criticized myself. After all, if I would never treat a friend or child or stranger with such harsh thoughts or actions, why would I ever treat myself like that? And yet I’ve been doing it for a very long time without ever realizing it.

Cat has been helping me acknowledge this behavior as well many others, then practice the things that I should be doing so that I’m at my best and truly enjoying each day. As someone that doesn’t want my life to go by without loving it, this is crucial and powerful for me. Knowing this, I highly recommend Catherine as a coach and encourage anyone that’s not living a life they love to speak with her.

I felt empowered, like my eyes were opened to the tools I already had and needed to take the next step. It was like the impossible wasn’t so impossible anymore.

I appreciated how you motivated me. I tend to be really hard on myself, often putting myself down for things I mess up on or do not accomplish. You did the exact opposite. You encouraged me and congratulated me on what I did right and worked with me to figure out why I don’t follow through on certain plans or projects.

Truthfully, my life is not drastically different, but I am. I’m at a much better place emotionally now than when we first started. I was in a new city, just out of an old relationship, in a new position at work, and I didn’t know what to do. I had high hopes, but not a clue how to begin or how to get out of the rut I felt I was stuck in. I loved how you motivated me to do the things that I had decided I wanted to accomplish. You helped me to organize my ideas and goals and put together an outline of how to achieve them. After each session, I felt empowered, like my eyes were opened to the tools I already had and needed to take the next step. It was like the impossible wasn’t so impossible anymore.

I have had some fears that developed from some very scary life experiences 8 years ago and I was finding that I was still carrying these fears today. I wanted to let go and release them as I found they were paralyzing me and creating limited visions for my family members. Catherine worked with me to get me to a state of completion around this. I was able to form some practices that have helped me dismiss my fears and create a more empowering story around the future. In addition to her life coaching, her established career in finance has contributed to her success as a business and financial coach. She has a way that creates an extremely comfortable and secure feeling around some very challenging money conversations.

Catherine is a stellar coach. She is perceptive, understanding and a spark of true joy. Catherine has helped me see my financial life as a healthy, emotionless, thriving creation of my own. She supports my goals and always stands for me at my fullest expression. If you would like to create financial freedom in your life, or make the impossible happen in your business, Catherine would be an ideal coach to create the synergy you want to get to the next level. Thanks Catherine for personifying serenity!

Catherine’s skill and insightfulness helped me to get on the right path to success as well as identify roadblocks that were keeping me from moving forward. At a time of unexpected changes, she was invaluable at helping me organize priorities and follow through with them. I can’t emphasize enough how much I have benefited from her guidance.

Catherine is an excellent life coach and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to reach their true potential. She gently guides her clients in a positive and fulfilling direction. In making the initial plans to run my own business, she pointed out ways in which I can maximize my time and my potential to reach that goal.

Catherine worked with me to see things from a different angle, which is extremely important for personal growth. I’m sure that Catherine will continue to flourish as a life coach, and highly recommend her.

After struggling to make the decision to hire a life coach for several months, I can say after the fact that I’m so happy I did. Catherine is a warm, kind, and insightful coach. She will help you to set and achieve your goals without judgment on the process that it takes to get there. She is supportive and caring, and someone I genuinely looked forward to speaking with for our calls. While working with Catherine, I successfully hosted my first yoga workshop and laid out the plans to do several more throughout the year. If you’re willing to do the work, Catherine is an excellent guide to support you through that journey.

It was a pure joy to partner with Catherine for 9 months! I found such inspiration in the collaborative relationship we cultivated and I was able to attain (rather than entertain) some of my long-standing goals and dreams.

With Catherine I started to truly believe that I am worthy of my dreams, that “some day” can be “this morning” or “next Tuesday” and that it is possible for me to have it all. This gift of self-worth gave way to opportunities for me that I might have missed without Catherine’s intuitive coaching.

Catherine coached me as I took on a leadership role on my team at work and I’ve since requested (and received!) an important promotion. I incorporated weight lifting and race training into my daily life and am now working towards new goals of running a 10k and competing on stage. I now lead a lifestyle that has room for both my full-time career and ambitious fitness goals. My friendships and family relationships are more honest and richer than they’ve been in a long time, and my marriage is thriving!

While I celebrate big tangible wins like these, in 9 months with coach Catherine, I also strengthened mental and emotional muscles, more firmly rooted my spiritual self, and gained financial traction. I believe all of this was possible thanks to Catherine’s brilliant perspective and ability to tailor her coaching to get me to my dreams.

Working with Catherine as my coach for a year has been a transformational experience. I have been consistently working on uncovering my blind spots over the last decade, and working with her had me really look and see how much is still there for me to uncover. One of the things that powerfully shifted for me out of working with her was to notice how much I approach life from a view of ‘I’m right’ and ‘other people are wrong,’ and to look at how I can be responsible for creating win/win relationships around me. My top two most rewarding experiences working with her have been in creating myself as the source of my life, and also in being vulnerable as an access to having deep, meaningful relationships. The greatest win out of working with Catherine has been the freedom that I have experienced in my relationship with my wife, in discovering where we have areas to develop and then jumping in and developing them! Catherine is amazing!
