    “Cathy's self care presentation was perfectly tailored for my group's busy moms. Her personal stories about motherhood, along with professional wisdom, inspired us to make the most of our personal time and say no to obligations that are taking away from it. We loved hearing that developing our own interests (even going to rock concerts) can actually help us to be better parents. I highly recommend her to groups looking for a speaker or parents looking for a coach”.

    Jennie, member of Mothers & More of DuPage County

    "Cathy was so enjoyable to listen to as a speaker - she's a natural that takes the time to listen and interact with her audience. Cathy was so well received by our MOPS group that we've asked her to come back again this year and speak on another one of her many topics!"

    “My son and I attended the "New Moms" class led by Cathy starting when he was a little less than 3 weeks old. The classes were very helpful in my adjustment to my new role as a mom. I still feel that the insights I gained continue to help us as our son moves into new stages of development and prepare to welcome another baby into our family. I enjoyed meeting other new moms that I still stay in touch with, but more importantly, the great words of wisdom you gave us. I am still trying to implement all that I learned, especially letting go of that Mommy guilt!”

  • “I feel like a different mom and I know my kids have benefited from this experience. Cathy listened to me and helped me understand my value as a mother. She helped me focus on what my kids do RIGHT. I have more fun with them now. I loved setting goals and focusing on myself for once. Now I understand that I if I don’t take care of myself, there is no way I can be a good or productive mom! Cathy challenged my thinking, she offered new information, she followed up with me, she sent me letters and articles, and she made me feel supported. I wish that all parents could have this experience!”
