Cathryn’s Approaches
Cathryn’s signature brand of tapping referred to as Interactive Tapping™ assists individuals in arresting addictive behaviors and addressing all concerns of the psyche. The muscular release experienced with the Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®) supports the body’s ultimate health.
