Catherine studied and trained with Marj Barstow from 1973 until the year Marj died, and Marj’s effect on Catherine’s life and teaching has been profound.

From Marj, Catherine learned: that thinking is moving; that movement is embodied thought; that we always have a choice; that, while this work may have lasting and joyful “physical” benefits, they all stem from a clear and well-coordinated consideration of how we choose to live and be in the world; and, most importantly, to have fun! Her goal as a teacher is to see pupils embark on a journey of self-directed and independent learning.

As they discover where they want to go, Catherine helps them navigate that process. For her, the most exciting part of this work is watching people realize how free they can be in their thinking and their reaction to the world, and what profound effects that can have on all parts of their lives. She feels privileged to witness people discover the power, clarity and potential of well-coordinated thinking and moving.

As David Mills has said: “Habit is being ready for the one thing you expect next. Coordination is being ready for anything.” Catherine wants to be ready for anything.
