Catherine

"When a person asks me why I do what I do, and why I am passionate about it, I simply smile. Supporting people and/or businesses is very fulfilling. The people in a business are what make or break it. Businesses can make or break a person. I like systems, structure and meeting new people and understanding how I can help make life better for others. Life is hard; being the beacon of light during difficult times is quite a responsibility, but one I welcome with open arms. There is no better feeling then when I see ‘the penny has dropped’, whether that is in my therapy room or when I am inspiring others at seminars or training events; I find something very satisfying in my work."
