Hi, I’m Cathy.
Hi, I’m Cathy. I’m a studio business coach, midlife life coach, and long-time entrepreneur based in Traverse City. I help dance and yoga studio owners create sustainable success, and I support women in midlife who want clarity, confidence, and direction in their next chapter. I love to travel and still occasionally photograph weddings, families, and branding shoots — storytelling has always been part of how I see the world.
