Personal practice
of Catherine Shank

Catherine is an Advanced Practitioner and an Associate Instructor of Ortho-Bionomy®. She is nationally certified by the NCTMB, and is certified in JinShinDo Acupressure. She teaches from the Toltec tradition in the Mastery of Awareness. She offers spiritual healings passed on to her from her Guru Swami Sri Kaleshwar.

In her private practice, her bodywork modality is Ortho-Bionomy®. She addresses structural imbalances that cause pain and impact the range of motion and body function. She effectively assists clients in the rehabilitation from an injury or surgery. This is accomplished by the reduction of muscle tension, increasing flexibility, relaxing the body, and improving circulation. Because Ortho-Bionomy® is non-invasive and so gentle, some of her clients are senior citizens and people who are in significant pain. Many clients refer to work as magic because of the subtleness and quiet spaciousness of her sessions. The self-corrective nature of Ortho-Bionomy® reminds the body of its innate ability to restore balance in its' function and mobility.

Each Ortho-Bionomy® session is unique and centered around the need and intent of the client. It becomes a dynamic exchange as awareness can arise of past structural imbalances along with thoughts or feelings that can help unravel patterns of discomfort.

Another aspect of her private practice is her work from the Toltec tradition in the Mastery of Awareness. She offers practical tools for directly meeting and healing ones shadow and counsels people through dream work.

She also offers spiritual healings from the Shakti channels she has been given by her by her Guru Swami Sri Kaleshwar. She holds monthly full moon fire pujas for clearing personal and planetary negativity, while charging the soul with unconditional love.

"I have no idea how Ortho-Bionomy works, but I do know it does. It is magic and it helped me regain my mobility and loose the Frankenstein walk after breaking an ankle and 3 toes."

"I have been a regular bodywork patient/client/student of Catherine for 16 going on 17 years. I have found her to be gifted with an ability to hone in on areas of a person's body which need attention even when the person may not be aware or know it themselves. Beyond this Catherine is compassionate and kind to the soul of her patient/clients. I look forward to many more years of wellness, bodywork, and learning."
