    🌸 “Deep Brain Reorienting — coming home to 🌸 “Deep Brain Reorienting — coming home to the body”

Lately, I’ve been working with a beautiful modality called Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR), created by Dr Frank Corrigan — and it continues to amaze me.

In sessions, I guide people to slow right down and listen to the small, quiet signals of the body — the flicker behind the eyes, the tightening in the neck, the flutter that says something old is waking up.

So often, the body is holding stories the mind has long forgotten: moments when our needs weren’t met, when we froze or tried to please, when we learned to survive instead of simply be.

Through DBR, we create a safe space for those places to unwind. The body processes the shock in its own rhythm, and something begins to soften — the breath deepens, the shoulders drop, and the person starts to feel more like themselves again.

I’ve watched clients leave with a new sense of calm and clarity, as if a little more life has come back into their system. And honestly, I feel it too — every time I hold this space, I’m reminded how wise and loving the body truly is.

💗 Sometimes healing doesn’t look dramatic. It’s the quiet return to your own heartbeat.

Have you ever felt your body telling you a story your mind didn’t yet understand?

If you’d like to experience this gentle work for yourself, I’d love to guide you. You can book a one-to-one Deep Brain Reorienting session or add it into a coaching journey — both online and in person.

    “Joy, Healing, and Carousel Rides” Sometimes “Joy, Healing, and Carousel Rides”

Sometimes healing looks like sitting in stillness, feeling the waves of emotion move through your body.
And sometimes, it looks like riding a sparkling Victorian horse on the Brighton carousel for £3 — laughing with your best friend until your cheeks ache. 🎠

Life keeps reminding me that joy is medicine.
That when we soften into play, we open space for healing too.

Lately, I’ve been working more deeply with Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) — a beautiful, gentle way of releasing old shocks and patterns that have stayed in the body.
It helps us return to our natural groundedness, to that inner knowing that says, “this feels right for me.”

Movement, laughter, breath, love — they all help us come home to ourselves. 💞

What’s one small thing that helps you reconnect with joy?

    Remember the magic of flirting? That tiny spark w Remember the magic of flirting?

That tiny spark when eyes meet, a smile lingers a little longer than usual, a joke lands just right…

Flirting isn’t only about dating or seduction — it’s about aliveness. It’s play, curiosity, and gentle risk-taking. It’s letting someone know “I see you” without needing anything in return.

Somewhere along the way, many of us forget this. We get busy, guarded, or nervous. We start to think flirting means manipulation or pressure — when really, it can be light, warm and joyful.

I love helping people rediscover this art: slowing down, feeling at home in their own skin, using body language and words to invite connection, not to perform or impress.

💬 Try this today:

• Soften your face.

• Make brief, kind eye contact.

• Let a playful smile rise naturally.

• Stay curious — you don’t have to do anything more.

When you play with this energy, life starts to feel more connected, colourful and fun — whether you’re dating, partnered, or just enjoying human moments.

If you’d love more of this in your life, I offer workshops and coaching to help you feel confident, playful and magnetic while staying true to yourself.

With love and a wink 😉,

Cate 💖

    🎬✨ What a strange journey indeed… I’m so 🎬✨ What a strange journey indeed…

I’m so thrilled (and a little emotional) to share that I have a tiny part in the new documentary “Strange Journey”, which is out now in cinemas! It’s a beautiful and moving film about Richard O’Brien and The Rocky Horror Show, directed by his son Linus O’Brien.

Years ago, I had the privilege of interviewing Richard. He spoke openly about his struggles with depression, his experiences of being bisexual at a time when it was illegal to be gay, and his journey to finding peace within himself.

He shared how love from his son Linus and witnessing the kindness of people who gave up their holidays to perform surgeries in Africa helped him rediscover faith in humanity. Those moments brought him back to the simple truth that kindness is what truly matters. 💛

The team recently found my interview by accident and decided to include it in the film. Such a full circle moment!

And in the most heartwarming twist of all, after saying he didn’t believe he could love again, Richard went on to fall in love, marry, and now lives blissfully by a lake in New Zealand with his partner. 💕

2️⃣ Me with Chrissie Shrimpton and her daughter, Chrissie was featured in the film
3️⃣ Me with Richard Hartley (music arranger) and Sue Blane (costume designer)

Such a special experience and a reminder that even the smallest moments of kindness and connection can ripple far beyond what we imagine. 🌍
