My background
Caterina (Catherine) established her holistic health business, Koru Self Development in 2009. The Koru frond is so uniquely Kiwi and it represents new life, new growth, new beginnings.

Caterina is married to Brian and together they have two adult children and a new baby Grandson.
Caterina’s interest in personal development stretches back over many years. During her time working as a team leader for a leading NZ Insurance company in Auckland, she identified coaching as an area she wanted to develop further. It was her passion for people, desire to bring out the best in them, and support them in their quest to live the life they desire, that lead her to train in transformational therapy.
A move to live in Scotland in 2004-2008 provided a great opportunity for Caterina to train as an adult educator with a Certificate in Training Practice. Then in 2006 to train as a Life Coach.
To complement her Life Coaching work Caterina trained in NLP and has an NLP practitioner certificate. Whilst studying NLP, Caterina discovered a passion for trance work. This has led her to further training in Modern Suggestive Hypnotherapy and a Diploma of Clinical Hypnotherapy.
Caterina is also a qualified and certified HypnoBirthing (The Mongan Method) Childbirth Educator. She runs regular workshops and courses in Hamilton & surrounding areas educating mothers on relaxation techniques for an easier, more comfortable birth.
Whilst living in Scotland, Caterina discovered the loving life-energy of Reiki and trained in level 1 & 2 there and 3A Master Practitioner in NZ. She is passionate about Reiki and spiritual and psychic development. She continues her wonderful Reiki journey with her Master teacher Sarah Deeks.
Caterina has a clinic set up in her home. She has developed her own unique healing style integrating several of the above modalities into a session, according to the client’s needs. She specialises in using non-invasive and holistic health methods to help people develop empowered lives and to achieve their true potential.
HypnoBirthing®
Classes are generally run over five weeks. They are small, (between 2-4 couples), relaxed and informal. It is essential that the birthing companion attends all classes also. The reason we ask couples to attend together is so the birth companion can understand the tools and techniques you are learning. Your birth companion will play a vital role in your labour and birth and we also teach him/her techniques of how to assist you during this time. It is not compulsory for the birth companion to participate in all of the relaxation exercises if he/she does not desire it. However, it is recommended, as the skill you will learn can be applied to many different areas of your life.
As part of the course, couples receive a copy of the 302-page HypnoBirthing® - The Mongan Method book, 2 CDs for your relaxation, stress reduction, and bonding (including the programme cornerstone disk, Rainbow Relaxation) and lots of handouts.
Private sessions can also be arranged.
Participants will need to prepare by reading the provided materials, listening to the CDs and practising the exercises. The more practice you do, the more it will pay off for you on your baby’s birthing day.
The best time to begin your classes is between 18-30 weeks pregnant; however, it is never too early or late to start. If you are beyond 30 weeks, you will still find the course very valuable, as long as you complete it prior to going into labour.
Please book early to avoid disappointment as many classes do fill up fast.
After you complete your class sessions, I will provide ongoing assistance via email or phone, if you have any further questions, queries or concerns.
