She obtained her Masters in Applied Social Science Research then undertook roles in policy analysis, research, and evaluation, all typically centered on health and wellbeing or mental health.
First introduced to Eagala's* life-changing therapy in New Zealand when she was hired by Renée Keenan to evaluate her practice, Cathy subsequently met Lynn Thomas, the co-founder of Eagala, at a conference in Australia. Utterly smitten with everything about equine assisted therapy and eager to understand the model more deeply, she undertook Eagala training first in New Zealand then in the US. Her background and training underpin her commitment to accuracy in her work, reflecting best knowledge at the time of writing.
Cathy lives in New Zealand with her husband, Alistair, and a cat or two. She doesn't have a horse. Yet.
