Clients Share About Healing into "Essential Well-BE-ing"
Working with Catherine Vajda has had a profound impact on my life. When I first came to her I was hurting, confused, and ruled by events of my past. Her compassion, wisdom, and loving kindness helped me to understand and heal myself, and I credit this work with creating the stable platform on which my happy life now rests. I am forever grateful to her.
On another note, I have been a publicist for Random House for more than 15 years, and in that time have worked with a number of well-known figures in the spirituality/personal growth arena. I can say with complete conviction that Catherine holds her own among the best names in the business, and in many cases surpasses them. Unlike many, she lives her beliefs, and has spent more than 20 years in intense study and spiritual practice. That commitment shines through her and her work.
Penny Simon, Publicist, Knoxville, TN
I am very grateful to have been able to work with Catherine on a regular basis for 12 years. She is very present, positive, and compassionate. She always holds "sacred space" and is completely there for me as we are working, so that I feel safe enough to move into the experience that is happening for me. She attends so accurately on both energetic and spiritual levels to my process that she asks just the right question or makes an observation that allows me to move more deeply into what I am exploring. Working with Catherine has allowed me to experience more of myself, to have more joy in my life and more freedom. When things fall apart, I anticipate that Catherine will help me get it back together. She helps me to work in a positive way with whatever is going on in my life.
For example, in one session she guided me through an early abuse experience that I could not have accessed before. One consequence of this healing was that I was able to feel anger in a joyous, bubbling up energetic way that was new to me — and surprising to my family. With Catherine's guidance, I have become much more aware of my relationship to the planet, of being held by the universe and most recently of being held by my bigger{non-in-carnated} self. I have more self-confidence, more willingness to move into uncharted areas. I have become more aware of relationship interactions on an energetic level and better at working in them while staying present in my body.
Cathy Caton, M.D., Internist/Healer, Los Altos, CA
With tremendous love and compassion, Catherine's work has assisted me in finding the deepest truth within each life issue I have presented and guided me toward my soul's wisdom. Directing my life based on this wisdom has allowed me to live with a genuine sense of clarity which honors the integrity of my inner being. Catherine's teaching of spiritual principles has been foundational to the unique unfoldment of my healing process. Each session throughout many years has led me deeper into the joy of my own essence and aided in the establishment of an abiding sense of peace within my heart and harmony throughout my life and relationships. Truly I have learned to live from the inside out with my soul as my root. I recommend Catherine with my heart full of gratitude and my deepest respect.
Susan Fogarty, Counselor/Nurse/Mom, Maine
The work I have done with Catherine has been incredibly powerful. I have been able to find out so much more about who I really am and begin to make decisions based on what's true and real for me. Catherine has provided me with the tools to fight off judgment and the unhelpful voices of the superego and get through to the truth. And this work has made life's journey so much more enjoyable. Catherine has given me the tools to get through the harder times with growth and insights, and to feel happier and more free in the better times.
JK, Government/Politics/Policy, New York, NY
I have known Catherine and Peter Vajda of SpiritHeart for more than a decade. My own personal development with them encompasses many years. Their knowledge and experience has been life changing for me. The last several years, my work has been focused with Catherine, who has the most gentle soul. She has been my lifeline through job loss, career change and divorce. Seeing the changes in my life have been truly amazing. There are no kinder, caring souls on planet Earth than Catherine and Peter Vajda, for whose support I am eternally grateful.
Ken Lipscomb, IT Professional, Alpharetta, GA
Dr. Catherine Vajda and SpiritHeart enabled me to return to a state of emotional and physical well being from one of despair and physical deterioration. Her gentle spiritual facilitation modeled a new way for me to interact with myself. Not only was the experience for me life changing, it was so positive and uplifting I have been able to help others find their way back to a state of well being. As I released old thought patterns and beliefs I moved from a state of depression into a state of enjoyment and appreciation of Life.
Ginger Sewell, Education Consultant, Duluth, GA
I just wanted to express — though it is difficult to truly say — how much Catherine's presence, love and guidance have transformed my life. Catherine has been the most loving and accepting person — open to all of me, and has enabled me to blossom into someone peaceful and happy.... Catherine showed me the way home to my own heart, and helped me find my own happiness.
Julie Fedeli, Healer/Mom, Chicago, IL
My work with Catherine has included a process of developing emotional stamina. She has taught me how to sit with feelings, instead of allowing my mind to take hold of them and build worst case scenarios and other anxiety provoking stories. My work with Catherine has also included a paradigm shift, where once I believed the only hope for someone dealing with anxiety or depression was a prescription and wrangling with biochemicals. Now I understand much more about the interconnectedness of the mind, body, and spirit. This understanding and work with Catherine has helped me to put together a repertoire of life enhancing actions, such as meditation and learning ways to curb thoughts careening toward chaos.
I would say there are two important qualities Catherine has which have been important for my work with her. One is that she truly understands pain on many levels and can relate from her own experiences. The other is that she practices what she teaches. I know she is committed to her own meditation practices, I know that she is committed to being a loving partner to Peter, and I know she truly believes in the worth and potential in every human being. All of this exists within a woman who has a passion for helping people live more healthily and harmoniously. I am thankful to know her, been under her wing so to speak, and to also know she is available as teacher and friend.
LK, Atlanta, GA
I know Catherine to be caring and trustworthy. My sessions are always an important part of my process. She has the gift of being where I am and understanding what I need. So I think of our sessions as having lots of different flavors including: sounding, essential states of space and silence, long distance energy healing, as well as counseling. It is a blessing to work with her as my spiritual teacher, and more importantly, to have her help when I get depressed. Depression runs in my family and since 1991, Catherine has been an invaluable support.
Karen, Arizona
Although I had known that I had access to an inner richness, in trying to live a "conventional" life, I had lost all alignment with it. Catherine, who speaks the appropriate language, like a friend-guide, in a quiet unintrusive way, helped me glimpse it and know that healing is possible.

Letters of Thanks:
I want to let you know how much you enriched my life since I first met you 11 years ago. I remember early on in our relationship that you told me you embarked on a career as a healer since a spiritual path improved your quality of life so much and you wanted to share your experience with others. I want you to know that I feel I have achieved every bit of what you told me and more. Other helping professionals told me I would get benefit, but none have come close to the benefits I have gained by working with you. For about the first five years I worked with you after each session I had the feeling that I had just experienced a "dynamic teaching."
Over the last several years the work has been more subtle. My assessment at this time is that as a teacher, mentor and guide you did your job superbly and then some. My relationship with you has resulted in a richness that originates from deep inside to the outside world and that is priceless. It's difficult to put into words the mentorship you have provided for me. The path that you have guided me on has resulted in profound inner growth. I would like to thank you a million times over. I look forward to continuing an exciting journey which clearly has resulted in more joy and inner peace in my life. I feel good about my self and my continuing development.
Michael Corpuel, Educator & Entrepreneur, Roslyn, New York
I want to express my appreciation. Maybe I just wasn't ready to deal with my feelings at an earlier time in my life-that's something one never knows-but I have attempted to reach out for help for so many years to willing, educated, recommended individuals. I have looked at them and said that I was willing to feel whatever it was, whatever pain was inside me and deal-so I could move on. But it was not until I "accidentally" ran into a friend and he suggested I reach out to you that real change occurred. I have at last reached a point in my life in which I am different. It is hard to put into words but my day to day living is more peaceful and steady. When "issues" come up I handle them differently. It is not even just a question of intellectually looking at them differently. I am just different, peaceful joyful...I just AM! I cannot thank you enough for your wisdom and warm, insightful guidance.
Paula Groothius, Speech Therapist, Albertson, NY
To just feel fine
that was the bottom line.
But how to get to the day
that I would just be ok.
I tried and tried,
but peace was not inside.
What else can I do was the question?
Until along came a suggestion
that I give this Catherine from Atlanta a call --
maybe she could make it better once and for all.
So my conversations with Catherine started,
and with my misconceptions I soon parted.
I saw that there was no magic
as we began our work together.
Life I learned was much like the weather.
Just as we must accept the rain,
we must also accept the pain.
Know that it has come up for a reason,
and that with acceptance and curiosity,
it will change like the season.
That we can choose to make our highest choice yet,
a raincoat, an umbrella or just get wet.
But whatever we choose, don't let the judge get in the way,
just be, let go, accept who you are each and every day.
Paula Groothius, Speech Therapist, Albertson, NY
Letters from a "Mom" and her daughter:
My daughter Kira was born with Microtia. Microtia is a congenital deformation of the ears where the middle ear and the external ear does not fully develop.
When Kira was six years old she had the first of seven surgeries to reconstruct both ears and restore hearing in her right ear. As her mother, I was very concerned about the effects the seven surgeries would have on Kira's physical and emotional well-being. Meeting with Catherine before Kira's first surgery was so helpful in alleviating my fears. Catherine was very knowledgeable in the healing arts, and her genuine warmth and concern was very comforting to Kira and I.
The healings Kira and I had before each surgery helped so much! I found Kira to be more relaxed and peaceful after the healing. I found the healing to restore my energy and peace so I could be there for Kira to support her throughout her surgery.
The distance healing Kira had during her surgery helped her recover more quickly from the drugs and the effects from the anesthesia given to her. Her doctor was amazed at how calm Kira was in the operating room before she was put to sleep and how quickly she went to sleep with the anesthesia.
The post-surgery healing was so beneficial for Kira. The healing helped to reduce the pain, swelling and discomfort Kira was experiencing. Her childlike energy returned and I remember thinking " I have my daughter back". After every surgery Kira couldn't wait to go to see Catherine for her post-surgery healing.
We take on many challenges that help us grow our souls. It is so nice to know that there is help for us, as we meet those challenges. Angels and guides, here on earth, so we never walk the path alone. I think of Catherine as one of those guides and appreciate and honor the work that she does.
Linda DelFavero, Novi, MI
I liked going to see Catherine every time we went to Georgia for my surgery. She is such a nice woman.
Before the surgery I was fine, but after I didn't feel like myself. Catherine's healings really helped me feel better. Sometimes I would fall asleep during the healing because it felt so good! Catherine has given me healings ever since my first surgery when I was six years old. My last healing was a distance healing, and it felt very good. I recommend Catherine's healings for any boy or girl.
Kira DelFavero, Age 10
