Individual Coaching

“Cate helped me find the path to my authentic self and the future of my dreams. Life coaching with Cate is one of the best investments you can make in yourself and your future. I recommend her highly!”  Manisha Thakor, MBA, CFA, Founder, Women’s Financial Literacy Initiative 

“I was very lucky to have Cate LaBarre be my Healing Your Heart coach.  She embodies all that one could want in a coach – someone who walks the talk, is compassionate and strong, keeps one focused on the journey of healing the past, reclaiming projections and old disempowering stories while keeping an eye to what one wants to manifest in the future, living an aligned and empowered life.  Thanks Cate!” Gregory Zelonka, Co-founder and Executive Director of EckhartTolleTV

“I decided to pursue coaching with Cate because I felt “stuck” and unable to let go of long-held hurtful experiences from within my family of origin. Cate’s coaching helped me heal my heart by helping me see that the actions of my family really had nothing to do with my worthiness.  I learned that the choices others make and the actions they take do not have any bearing on who I am and who I can become.  I learned that I could choose to see those interactions from different perspectives which helped me to find forgiveness and dispel the anger that was blocking the genuine love that I have always felt for my family. Cate’s coaching has been a true blessing to me in getting “unstuck” from the past so that I could create a beautiful new vision for my future that is free of the burdens that I carried for so many years.  I now have the tools to work though life’s inevitable disappointments in ways that empower me.”  JFR, Business and Career Coach, Florida

“I am thrilled to have had the experience of being coached through Healing Your Heart by Cate.  My relationship with my mother has been a very trying for decades and through this process it is being transformed.  Through Cate’s expert and compassionate guidance, and the totally safe space she provided, I have seen so much about my stories and my attachments to past events that have kept me stuck.  I am now using the concrete tools I received to redirect myself in a way that is releasing the blame, anger and resentment that has surrounded this most basic of relationships.  Thank you Cate for such a transformational experience!” CR, Personal Coach, Salt Lake City, UT

“Cate created a safe environment in which I could grow, look at parts of myself I had struggled to hide. With her support I was able to do this without shame or blame, and begin to see a pathway to a happier life. Cate’s coaching didn’t just help me to see one relationship or one situation differently.  It helped me to see me, my role, in all that is around me.  She helped me to apply the concepts we discussed in many different areas of my life, encouraging me to look where I was repeating the same patterns. I confidently recommend her.” NB, Sr. Manager, Financial Services, Pennsylvania

“When it came time to look at my primary relationship issues I chose Coach Cate. I wanted to explore how I am so tentative in relationships, especially my 21 year marriage. I have had some deeply healing moments. One of my awakenings is that relationship experiences don’t go away…the question is how do we integrate our experiences and choose self-love and then to risk loving another. I still struggle but I choose love more than ever before. I recommend Coach Cate in a heartbeat. She will professionally guide you to see the answers within and hold you even when your ego doesn’t like what it hears!” Bonnie Lundrigan, M.Ed., Counselor, Clinical Hypnotherapist and Coach, Professional Speaker, St. Johns, Newfoundland

“Your teleconference workshops are a great introduction to your work for beginners and an essential intensive follow-up for your clients. I love your teaching style and was able to stay relaxed and open and easily hear the answers from within me that I most needed. The shares of other participants were very helpful, as I realized we have so many shared experiences as human beings. Thank you, Cate. I’ll be back for more!” JM, Speech Pathologist, LA, CA

“Cate felt like the gentle, empowering companion full of wisdom that I needed on my journey to set up my self-employment. She helped me identify blockages, work through doubt and fears and helped me to navigate procrastination and overwhelm. I wouldn’t be where I am now without her support. Thank you!” Karo Goldstein, Life Coach and Workshop Leader, Berlin, Germany. https://karolingoldstein.com/

Cate manages her time with a mastery that is breathtaking. She was clearly guiding conversations and shifting topics along, but it never felt forced or even obvious. I can see it in retrospect, but it was invisible at the time. Masterful! …. nothing felt shorted at any point.

The group of women were all incredible humans and I think Cate did an excellent job of making sure we all felt safe to be vulnerable.

By the end of the program, everyone seemed connected and tapped into the work and healing delivered through Brené Brown’s research. Cate created an environment where everyone felt open to be perfectly imperfect and supported. Thank you, Cate!

Cate created a safe and easy learning space for us all. She facilitated the program from her heart!

Being on Zoom, Cate was able to make us all feel connected and safe, even though we were not together in the same space. I loved the breakout rooms!

Every facet of this workshop went well. Cate is always in command and control of the logistics, pacing, and content of her workshops.

I loved the structure! The notebooks we got were amazing and we can use them in our lives now. I feel like I have a better understanding of where I stand and what behaviors and patterns in my life aren’t serving me anymore.

The workshop was informative, a safe space, hands-on, fun, welcoming. I loved the pared sharing times, the anecdotes, the contributions from the group, and the creative projects!

Cate is professional and caring. This is hard work and Cate offers insights gained from years of experience.
