Yoga From the Inside

18/04/2026

Transpersonal coaching can support you if you’ve had an Awakening experience that you want to integrate into your life.

My specialty is supporting people to manage trauma, anxiety and depression.

Coaching differs from psychology in that we work in the here and now rather than the there and then. I’m not concerned with diagnosis and am focused on what is already whole within you.

I draw from my knowledge of yoga therapy, especially breathwork to calm your nervous system and somatic meditation to take you into a more open awareness state to shift perspective.

Transpersonal coaching is focused on transformation, wholeness and interconnection.

I’d love to work with you to facilitate your journey home to your true nature.

As we find stillness within, we touch the sacred space which interconnects us with each other and all of life. As we gradually embody this wisdom, knowing that we aren’t separate, we quietly participate in healing the world. This experience has a felt sense that spreads gently throughout the body and is like being held by the divine.

The feeling of belonging to something larger that is deeper than the words of religion or philosophy can go, may move us toward action on behalf of those in need, give us an expanded sense of wholeness, oneness with others and gently transform our selves and our relationships.

If you feel called to an inner journey in these times of external chaos, I’m with you. My heartfelt prayer is that all that I offer is in service of our home coming to non-separation and unconditional love. The world needs this now, more than ever and it is something within our power at such troubling times.

I have touched this sacred space on many occasions on multi day silent retreats in the iRest® tradition. From first hand experience I can tell you that these retreats are life changing and will help you to establish your home ground of being and interconnection to be ever present. This is why I’m hosting my teacher Fuyuko Sawamura-Toyota to bring a multi-day iRest retreat back to Sydney.

Acknowledging the words of Bonnie Badenoch that inspired the above.

What does yoga look like? It’s not just postures. Yoga is so much more. Connection to the environment, coming home to your true nature, an authentic lifestyle.

In the coaching I offer, I often use breathwork and always meditation. These are yoga too. As a registered yoga therapist, if you have private health insurance, you may be able to claim something from your cover.

Firstly, what does transpersonal mean? It is a slippery thing to understand, which reflects its embrace of the more mysterious. There are three core characteristics that define the transpersonal. Firstly, it is concerned with more than individual consciousness, secondly, it is concerned with transformation and thirdly, it is concerned with integration and wholeness.

How is transpersonal coaching different to psychology? Firstly, it is non-pathologising, it is not concerned with diagnosis and what is wrong with you. It is focussed on what is already whole within you. Secondly, it is practiced in the here and now. It is not concerned with excavating the past, although the imprint of the past may show up in the here and now, where it can be dealt with effectively.

I’m Catherine and I provide coaching to manage trauma, anxiety and depression in person in Richmond on Tuesdays and online other times. When life is scary and most of what is going on is totally beyond your control, you have a whole inner world that you do have sovereignty over. Turning to the inside can be a real salve in such troubling times. It’s also how the planet can be healed, one person at a time as we each reconnect with our home ground of peace and interconnection.

One of the tenets of Transpersonal Psychology is transformation.

Many of the people I work with who have dysregulated nervous systems as the result of traumatic experiences, are under the impression that this dysregulation cannot be healed.

That just isn’t true.

Talk therapy, identifying behavioural and cognitive patterns is helpful. But, a Transpersonal approach that acknowledges the power of the present moment and listening deeply to the body, provides a doorway to transformation.

The energy that gets trapped in your body and causes a range of physical, mental and emotional symptoms can be discharged when it is met in your body, in the present moment.

Healing trauma is possible.

According to Peter Levine (leading trauma researcher and teacher) there are four indicators of trauma (he understands trauma as the manifestation of a dysregulated nervous system that has trapped undischarged survival energy). These are: hypervigilance, contraction, dissociation and immobility. In my experience, dissociation can be particularly challenging and can easily tip into immobility, which is possibly the worst manifestation.

These manifestations are all below the level of conscious control. So, what can be done? If you notice dissociation, simply be aware of it. Notice what the physical sensation in your body is of being dissociated. What does it actually feel like? Perhaps say to yourself, “this is a trauma response”. Awareness itself is your friend and can interrupt a tirade of “there’s something wrong with me” thoughts and the associated panic. Cultivate Awareness, that’s it! Simple, not necessarily easy.

Located at Richmond on Tuesdays, returning 13 January. Online other days and times by appointment.
