Cathy graduated from the University of Georgia with a BSED in Art Education, then furthered her studies in scientific illustration. She has worked as a potter and scientific illustrator, and also as an art instructor for the Athens Academy upper school. Throughout her life, Cathy has always had a great interest in the movement and health of the human body and for the past 20 years has studied and taught many movement therapies.

She has been certified through AFAA, IDEA, and the Physical Mind Institute to instruct many mind/body disciplines including pilates and yoga. She has taught for the University of Georgia in instructional and aerobic programs since 1996 and currently works with the UGA Swim Team and the Department of Dance.

She works both privately and in group settings with a range of bodies from Olympic athletes to the elderly. Cathy has written, produced and preformed in several pilates matwork videos and continues to study under various yoga and meditation masters. Cathy’s vision is to share what she has found… a depth of wisdom in the human body, a genuine source of enlightenment when listened to. It is our connection to this physical world, our foundation, the home of our dance.
