Description
Bonjour, Amoureuse des grands espaces et dotée d'une grande énergie et suis toujours prête à continuer à découvrir le monde et ses habitants .
Après avoir travaillé pendant plus de 10 ans dans l'hôtellerie et plus exactement dans l'organisation d'événements, séminaires, congrès et mariages, j'ai décidé d'ouvrir mes propres chambres d'hôtes près de Millau dans le sud de la France . J'ai restauré, en grande partie, 3 maisons pour en faire un petit nid chaleureux pour nos clients.
En plus de cette activité, pendant 15 ans j'ai pratiqué la réflexologie, proposé différents massages, séances de Reiki et méditation et des cours de Yoga. mon site est : www,wellbeingtherapies.net
J'ai un esprit positif et joyeux et je suis très sensible aux problèmes d'environnement et à tout ce qui peut rendre le monde plus beau.
depuis 2015, je suis guide touristique en Irlande, Islande, Norvège, Suède, et Finlande. Cela me donne l'occasion de rencontrer des gens de tous pays.
Je ne fume pas, ne boit pas d'alcool et suis végétarienne. Je pratique la méditation régulièrement pour moi même en plus de mes séances collectives et essaie de faire ma propre séance de yoga chaque matin afin de commencer la journée en forme.
Je pense que la vie est belle dès que l'on regarde toujours vers le soleil et que l'on garde un certain sens de l'humour !

We had a lovely experience with both Catherine and Thierry. We learnt so much from them, of their culture and their interesting travels. They both brought so much energy to our home. They fitted into our family unit, and have become friends. Catherine introduced us to both Yoga and Reflexology, which was quite interesting for us to learn. Both… read more

Catherine was at my house for three weeks together with her husband Thierry. It was the most pleasant experience I could ever have. They are really very hard workers, attentive, sensitive, responsible and do everything with care, heart, and mind. They did much more than I expected them to do.

This wonderful place and people was my first Workaway experience and I think I was very lucky to start here. The situation is absolutely amazing and I completely fall in love with the Lake Como. My room had the best view over mountains and lake I never had in my life. Barbara and Darrell were really nice with us, nice talk about their life and… read more

This was Catherine's first workaway. She fitted in beautifully to our little helper community, along with her lovely husband Thierry, who also joined us.
Catherine is very knowledgable about many things to do with the home and renovating and maintenance. Because the couple had renovated homes in the past, they had heaps of practical skills.… read more
