Mind-Body Researcher & Integrative Wellness Coach
Bios are usually full of stuffy, third person, canned info. That doesn’t work for me because I’m all about being who you are. So, I’ll ask you to imagine pulling up a chair and enjoying a cup of coffee with me at a café on the beach.
I do hope we get to connect and say hello so I can hear your bio, too. I invite you to connect with me on Facebook, Instagram or drop me an email.

My Mission
Taking the Stress Out of Change – Big and Little
My name is Cathy Gatto Brennan and I work with women who are in the midst of change, living smack dab in the middle of the zip code of “I don’t know”. It might be health, or relationship issues, or a career change and of course everything in between. Because at the core it’s about who you are and how you’re showing up in the world and I really want you to shine.
I teach tools and techniques to align, physically, mentally, and energetically with where you’re going This helps you get really clear about what you want AND how to get there, while keeping the overwhelm and self-doubt at bay. When you’re aligned any action you take is extra powerful, efficient, and fun.
A little about Cathy Gatto Brennan
My name is Cathy Gatto Brennan and I’m a mind-body researcher, registered nurse, & author who is fascinated by how thoughts, beliefs, and biofield influence our lives. What I learn I put into practice and teach so you can truly feel seen, heard, and valued.
By any definition, I’ve had a bit of a tumbleweed career. After high school, I signed up for a fashion design program – funny because my wardrobe is made up primarily of jeans, t-shirts, and sandals. A week before the start of classes, the program was canceled and I had to choose one of the other programs they offered: commercial art, dental assistant, or nursing.
Nursing was the most attractive, so nursing it was. I graduated, got a job in a hospital, and went on to build a career for myself as an RN. At the same time, I took classes in environmental engineering
As a nurse, I loved helping people in their healing process. However, as time went on, I wanted to do more. I envisioned a more empowering model for personal health. I began searching, taking classes and certifications in herbology, hypnosis, reiki, intuitive practices, and chakra healing. I started Natures Health Source; a small business focused on creating and selling all natural lotions, soaps, and salves. I missed working directly with people and wanted to use my various skills more thoroughly.
About that time Cheryl Richardson introduced me to life coaching. It was love at first sight; I was hooked. I took classes at Coach U and followed Thomas Leonard when he started Coachville where I completed my basic then advanced coaching coursework. My one-on-one coaching practice opened in 2003, and in 2006 I added group coaching and workshops.
I fell in love with coaching. I’m still in love twenty years later.
Coaching allows me to use my unique blend of intuitive skills, energy work, and pragmatic, practical applications to inspire, empower, and connect people with their own authority (all core values for me). h as we move through our lives, particularly at midlife, when it can feel particularly urgent. It’s an incredibly powerful body, mind, and spirit process that helps you bring your potential to reality and helps eliminate the feeling of being the only one or going it alone.
I’m also a mind-body researcher studying the many ways the mind and body interact and how our energetic flow impacts health and well-being.
The personal side
When I’m not teaching or coaching, I can be found walking my dog Jake on the beach, savoring a really good cup of coffee, or indulging in my love of travel with one of my grown kids.
If you’re curious for more, here are 3 things you might not know about me:
- I prefer going barefoot so when I have to wear shoes I chose colorful quirky ones.
- I love to read and always have 4 -5 books going at the same time so I can find one to fit my mood.
- I secretly love sappy Hallmark movies, especially the Christmas ones.
