In Cathy’s Words…
My background and experience
I am a mother, a wife and an award-winning business entrepreneur specialising in yoga and movement therapy. I have over 25 years’ experience within the health and fitness industry delivering holistic inspired yoga, dance and fitness modules within the community. Prior to this I worked in television as an actress and dancer and this helped me write, produce and film my very own branded yoga DVDs: The Pregnancy program and Six Steps to Great Health and Wellbeing.
Why I started my business
Motherhood inspired my business. I suffered with postnatal depression after the birth of my two sons and saw a gap in the market for therapeutic exercise for mums who were struggling to cope. So, I applied for some funding and set up a yoga group where mums could come together with their babies, do some gentle exercise and then chat afterwards sharing their experiences. Hence, the business Yoga4mums was born.
