About Doctor Catalina
From a young age, Dr. Catalina Andrade was drawn to personal growth, holistic health, and mindfulness. By the age of 21, she became a certified Holistic Health Practitioner, passionate about helping others create a more balanced lifestyle. While she continued supporting clients on their wellness journeys, her path eventually led her to education, where she started as a middle and high school tutor. She later became an afterschool program coordinator, working closely with low-income and at-risk students.
Among her colleagues, Dr. Catalina was always the go-to person for natural and holistic well-being solutions. Her passion for both education and holistic health only deepened over the years, leading her to pursue a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership, where her research focused on the impact of mindfulness for school social workers. With over 20 years of experience, she has presented mindfulness workshops and training sessions for various school districts, education conferences, San Diego State University, and other professional organizations.
