About Catherine

Catherine is a Registered Cranio Sacral Therapist and Physiotherapist in Newcastle and was a Tutor at the College of Cranio Sacral Therapy in London where she tutored, led teaching clinics, study groups and assisted in post-graduate training. She is also qualified in Acupuncture for pain relief. Catherine also runs a Plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome)  Assessment Clinic specialising in the assessment, prevention and treatment of Positional Plagiocephaly. Having spent over 15 years also treating this condition using helmet orthoses, Catherine can also recommend and refer babies for this treatment if needed.

Catherine recently moved back to Newcastle over 10 years ago and is currently working in several clinics in Gateshead and Newcastle.

Catherine has always had an interest in health and helping people. After graduating in physiotherapy from Sheffield Hallam University in 1995, Catherine worked in various specialities both in the NHS and private practices in Sheffield and London. Catherine gained vast experience in treating both adults and children with a wide variety of conditions but, despite the satisfaction that Catherine got from helping her clients, she felt there was something missing from her work.  After a two year career break in which she travelled extensively throughout India, South East Asia and West Africa, Catherine began to see health and well-being more holistically and the importance of physical, mental and spiritual vitality. As a result of this awareness Catherine decided to train as a Cranio Sacral Therapist under the tuition of Thomas Attlee at the London College of Cranio Sacral Therapy. To Catherine, this was the missing piece of the jigsaw and this enabled her to use her physiotherapy background of anatomy and physiology to treat clients on one level but also permitted a more holistic approach to healing allowing both emotional and physical imbalances to be met through intuitive touch.

Catherine provides  Cranio Sacral Therapy  and Physiotherapy for adults, children, mothers and babies. Her unique approach allows her to incorporate both Cranio Sacral Therapy and Physiotherapy into her sessions if she feels this is beneficial to the client.

Catherine is registered and insured by the Cranio Sacral Therapy Association and Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and as such, is subject to strict codes of conduct, standards and continuing professional development.

    Cranio Sacral Therapy – Mother and baby

    I first met Catherine when I was at breaking point struggling with my 7 month old son who was waking up to 8 times a night, every single night. When we had our first appointment my son had never slept through the night, Catherine explained to me that it could take up to two weeks for any effects to take place. 1 week later my son slept through the night for the first time and then continued to sleep through for 3 days in a row. I was amazed! I never thought it was possible! After our second visit to Catherine my son slept through the night on the same day as well as every night for 2 weeks after that (and still going!!). Catherine is a very warm and friendly woman who has been amazing with my son on all of our visits, I am truly astounded at the work she has done, I now have an extremely happy and content baby boy and I am so grateful we found her! Thank you so much!

    Cranio Sacral Therapy – Adult

    I found craniosacral therapy was right for me because I found it a gentle and non-invasive form of therapy. I can say that it was an amazing sensation each time I had a session. I felt as
    though I was taken into another dimension, starting at the feet without touching I could feel heat and when she put her hands under my back at certain points I felt as though I was floating on water. The effect of craniosacral therapy on me during the session was that I relaxed like never before and incredibly continued to feel on a natural high of relaxation for a couple of days after. What a stress buster! The total relaxation feeling thanks to a great therapist has made me truly see the benefits that I can obtain by introducing craniosacral therapy into my life. Thank you to Catherine who is very professional and does a great job. (Giulia Gravina)
