About Catherine E-mail

I'm a marriage celebrant and yoga teacher from south coast NSW.

As a celebrant I provide beautiful unique ceremonies in beautiful places. 

As a yoga teacher I guide and support others in their yoga journey.   

As a retreat leader I create and facilitate earthy yoga experiences.

 

The sun, the sea, the beach. The bush, trees and gardens. Songs, music and books.
Dogs, kids and friends. Spirituality, ritual and community. These are some of the things I love in life.
These things inspire me as a celebrant and yoga teacher.

My home is at Broulee, a beachside village between Batemans Bay and Moruya on the south coast of NSW.  I have three wonderful children – two grown daughters and a teenage son.

During my 25 year professional career I worked in conservation, environment, horticulture, natural resources, national parks, botanic gardens, Aboriginal affairs and communications.

I bring years of experience in leadership, facilitation, communications, public speaking and event management to my role as a celebrant. Combined with my insights, knowledge and skills as a yogini, ecologist and writer, I have much to offer as a celebrant and retreat facilitator.

My personal yoga practice is a vital part of my life - bringing me focus, energy, flexibility, inner and outer strength, stillness, calm, connection and spiritual sense.  I trained as a yoga teacher in 2007 as I wanted to share the joys and benefits of yoga with others.

I am taken with the concept of pilgrimage, a spiritual journey, and love to travel on pilgrimage to wild bush and beach places around Australia.  I am very excited to be offering another series of yoga earth retreats in 2013, taking others to reconnect to earth, water, fire, air and spirit in awe inspiring natural environments.
