“Before working with Dr. Catalina, I struggled to take time for myself. I was juggling multiple work and personal projects, leaving little room for self-care. I knew I needed to learn more about mindfulness, but I wasn’t sure where to start. Dr. Catalina took the time to understand my specific stressors and tailored mindfulness practices to my needs. Her approach was encouraging, making the experience feel both rewarding and accessible, even as a beginner. Working with Dr. Catalina gave me the confidence to integrate mindfulness into my life, even with a demanding schedule. I now know that I can practice mindfulness on my own, and it has made a significant difference in my ability to manage stress.”

“Before discovering mindfulness, I was drowning in stress. Balancing a demanding job, a growing family and graduate school left me feeling constantly overwhelmed. My mind was always racing, and I struggled to find peace in my daily routine. That changed when I started practicing guided breathing and meditation with Dr. Catalina. Her approach helped me slow down, refocus, and embrace positive thoughts instead of spiraling into stress. The guided breathing exercises became my anchor, teaching me how to reset in moments of chaos. Now, whenever I feel overwhelmed, I return to mindfulness techniques. Instead of letting stress take control, I take a deep breath, center myself, and move forward with clarity. Thanks to Dr. Catalina’s guidance, mindfulness is no longer just a concept; it’s a practice that has transformed my life.”
— Dr. W. Cook, Lake County, CA
“Before working with Dr. Catalina, I felt overwhelmed with the demands of preparing for my next class and managing multiple work projects. The stress was constant, making it difficult to stay focused. Dr. Catalina showed me how simple and easy it can be to let go of stress and be present in the moment. Her calming presence and guidance made the process feel effortless and accessible. Now, I approach my workload with a tremendous sense of ease rather than having those feelings of pressure. It’s always a pleasure working with Dr. Catalina, and I highly recommend her to leaders in education who need practical tools to manage stress.”
