Success Stories

I was living in a sort of nowhere place, just coasting, thinking this was all I could ever be because that was all I was. Fibromyalgia and fear defined my life, ruled it.

Life coaching with Catherine has revealed whole new vistas, a whole new me! Or maybe I should say, a whole me. Using her skills in releasing trapped emotions, she helped me to cast off a stultifying blanket of fear, anxiety, and anger that kept me pinned to the ground. I feel like I have lost a hundred pounds of doubt and self-hatred. Every day I feel more enthusiastic about being me and that has led me to actually do things: fun things, work things, relationship things, and healthy things.

I absolutely recommend seeing Catherine. She is very authentic and is gifted in the art of listening. Each time I have been to see her she has asked a question or made a comment that has profoundly changed my thinking. I now see my life in terms of wonderful possibilities. I wake up earlier, I have much more energy, and I feel better physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thank you God, for sending Catherine my way!

I want to say how deeply grateful I am that I became aware of you and the Emotion Code work you do and that I was able to spend time with you to do the deep healing work I have experienced. The work we did together is the most effective and lasting "therapy" I have tried. I have been trying all my life. The Emotion Code work is the basis and foundation that is supporting continued healing in every aspect of my life. Very deeply grateful to you and our Creator.

After doing extensive personal work, including various forms of energy healing, I was open and hopeful for some further personal results. After the changes I saw in Catherine personally, I asked what happened; she told me of her involvement with The Emotion Code.

Already out of long term depression prior to starting, I wondered what benefit there might be for me. In the first session she identified a “heart wall”. I cognitively understood this. Well, that wall went down after 3 sessions. I could feel the release.

Over those first 3 sessions I was willing to take leadership roles and responsibilities again, which I had previously been denying. My ability to trust was restored, and I could actually see people respond to me differently, both those I knew and strangers. A friend who had known me for over 20 years listened to my description and immediately booked with Catherine. He had dramatic results after 2 sessions. I thought he booked a session because of my eloquent explanation. “No” he said. You were so dramatically better than you had been, in many years, I wanted those kinds of results.

I found that after a lot of emotional trauma and abuse had left me easily, emotionally overwhelmed and powerless in many situations. I could now not only cope, but overcome difficult confrontational situations and even stand up to bullying people.

Is this the be all and end all of healing? No, of course not. But I would suggest there are benefits for almost anybody. I have referred over 15 people for this work because of my personal benefits and continue to be thanked by those I have referred.

I’m happy to write a testimonial about my experience with Catherine Toews, because it has been truly amazing. Her EMOTIONAL RELEASE technique and LIFE COACHING has helped me in a way that I’ve not experienced with anyone else. She seemed to understand very quickly exactly where I was at and how she could be most effective in helping me.

She has an incredible knowledge to share about understanding how aspects of our life & most importantly our happiness are a choice we all have. She guides and teaches you with not only techniques and strategies, but a new knowledge in a way that makes sense in your own personal life. She has tremendous compassion and a kind demeanor that will make you feel so comfortable and welcome immediately.

I can’t say enough about how much she’s helped me in the way I approach my life, and how I experience my days, and take control of my future.

I am confident in saying that anyone that has the opportunity to spend time with Catherine will find her experience and knowledge extremely valuable and feel fortunate to have met her!

A friend had recommended seeing Catherine for some Emotion Code treatments. I had a very stressful year, which included my 27 year marriage ending, closing my business, losing 3 family members in 6 weeks, upgrading to return to a previous career, and undergoing a hysterectomy. Among other things, this all happened within 7 months.

When I went to Catherine, I was a broken woman. Overwhelmed, exhausted, and at a personal self worth low. I was in a state of grief, of rejection, and believed I didn’t deserve anything for myself.

I started with a few Emotion Code appointments. In my first session I released 15 trapped emotions.

Physically I didn’t feel anything at first. But then something happened. I felt a little “lighter”..... and complete strangers, MOMENTS after my appointment, made comments on what a happy person I was. What? I am only here to pay for gas, don’t know you, and you want to know how I am so happy??

Having felt a lot of success from the Emotion Code appointments, I decided to sign up for Catherine’s money after divorce sessions. At first I thought I didn’t need the classes. I knew my budget, paid my bills, and the only debt I had was a car payment. I felt I didn’t need any help with that.

But it wasn’t about that. It was about my relationship with my money..... and THAT I needed help with. I had a negative relationship with my money. I didn’t feel I deserved an abundance of it and felt that if I had an abundance, I would be judged negatively.

I have completed the sessions with Catherine. And it is amazing what a change I feel. I have paid off my car, feel grateful for the money that flows my way... instead of scared and non deserving of it. I have achieved many things on my desire list. And have just registered for massage school.

I cannot explain how the Emotion Code works. I know Catherine asks your subconscious questions. I know together we find and released trapped emotions......But what I do know is how I feel.

I feel I am an intelligent woman, and a lot of my friends come to me for advice. So I felt so frustrated that I couldn’t figure out my own issues alone. What I had to learn was to ask for help. And I cannot express how thankful I am to Catherine for helping me out.

Would I recommend her???...... I already have!!

Thanks again, Catherine.

I truly Adore you.

My name's Orien and I wanted to give this quick testimonial to Catherine. Catherine has been instrumental to my emotional well-being.

She's really, done what she said she would do, in terms of helping me understand my traumas, helping me get through them, understand them, let go of them, and as well as figure out a way, in which I can handle myself better.

Every single time I spoke to her it always felt like I could breathe again, you know.

I feel like she's a person I can trust, a person that cares for me deeply, that listens to me, that asks such profound questions, that really makes me think and question.

I'm very young. I know that, and I have been so lucky to have been blessed with Catherine's knowledge, skills and expertise.

This work has truly transformed me in just six to nine months. You know, my business is better, my relationships are better with my family, my relationship with my girlfriend is better, my work is better, my self-confidence is better.

Yeah, Catherine you're amazing. I know you'll be listening to this, so thank you so much.

I was searching for someone who could help me identify areas in my life where I could grow in my continuing journey of self discovery. From my first meeting with Catherine I came away with a sense of optimism & was quite interested in the path we were going to take together.

As I look back over my notes I ruminate on where I was and where am I now. I am filled with gratitude that I am so much stronger & healthier!

Catherine helped me search out those long closed off emotions that triggered my reacting to present day circumstances. She introduced curiosity, responding not reacting, built the foundation of sustainability by believing in myself & most importantly changing my idea to create new habit forming character traits that serve me in my life today! I’m having a lot of fun learning to choose to be unoffendable!

I’m writing today wanting to speak on my experience with Catherine and the work we have done together over the past few months with her emotion code & belief code healing practice.

I have enough experience with it now to be able to give my full account on how this method has helped me personally get over major hurdles within myself and also with my day to day life moving forward,

so here we go.

When I first came to Catherine, I didn’t really know what to expect or how she could help me, but I kept an open mind.

I had just broken up with my Fiance and didn’t know why the relationship had fallen apart. So I was trying to find my way moving forward and didn’t know what that would look like.

All I knew is that I didn’t want to keep going in and out of relationships not knowing why they weren’t working out for me. So I booked a session to see what this healing modality was all about and immediately it clicked and made sense.

You see I started to learn about how most of my patterns, beliefs, and life experiences were not coming from my daily conscious thoughts and behaviours, but from deeper subconscious and unconscious parts of me that run 90-95% of my world.

This led me down a road of self exploration and awareness. I figured out as humans we are basically biological computers.

We are programs, beliefs, ideas, fears, traumas, insecurities, unresolved emotions stuck in the body and much more. With learning this I started to see why my relationship life has sucked for most of my life. Mind you I’m a man in my mid 30’s so this is the time I should be figuring out how to have a stable and long lasting relationship. It’s now or never pretty much. And I’m not settling for being a speed dater for the rest of my life.

So I had to really buckle down and figure out what was it inside of me that was hindering my success in this area of my life.

Well it ended up going deeper then I could have ever thought of on my own. This pattern of poor intimate relationships has been in my family for a long time. The biggest reason for me was because I had no capacity for emotions with my ex partners. I never opened up and always had more of a stoic nature. You know how it goes, guys don’t spill their emotions. Big boys don’t cry. Yeah we’ve heard all these kinds of things before.

But this was the exact reason why I could never get more connected and united with my partners. I only operated from logic and that’s how I got on in life. Served me the best in most endeavours, so I also took this approach into my relationships. (Piece of advice, this doesn’t work. From my experience.)

A relationship is emotional in nature so I really needed to get unblocked and more in touch with these different parts of me. So I could finally feel something, because most of my life I have just been numb to most of my emotions.

So, Catherine advised me that this was going to have to change, and changing it, is what we started to do.

Catherine taught me about how we can connect to our subconscious/unconscious through a tried and tested method called muscle testing. With muscle testing we could ask this part of ourselves a series of questions to find out what exactly was blocking me from getting in tune with my emotions.

Well the cat was out of the hat when we found the main root cause of this was something called a “Heart Wall”.

A Heart Wall is basically the egos way of putting up barriers and defenses to the heart. To keep out painful or hurtful situations from happening to us. It’s usually developed from experiences we have had in the past. And the ego wants to ensure we don’t feel these deep painful emotions ever again. So it starts putting up almost like castle walls that don’t let anything in, but also don’t let anything out. So this explained a lot of my adult years!

The reasons why I couldn’t ever be close to my women of the past. I was always putting up a wall between me and them to prevent them from getting too close. Unconsciously doing this.

So that’s when this healing journey began. I think we might have done like 5-6 sessions just on this Heart Wall piece alone. I had huge defences up around my heart, so Catherine said just trust the process we’re gonna bring this down and neutralize this heart wall, and that we did.

It took some weeks to see the full effect of it. But I was vacationing in Europe this past June when the most profound realization just hit me while riding the train in London. I no longer thought emotions were lame or corny. I no longer had judgement on myself for feeling certain things, and I no longer judged others for being into their emotions.

It was one of the weirdest things I ever felt internally, probably ever. I no long identified myself with certain ways of being anymore.

So I came back from vacation and went on enjoying my summer. I was starting to see a new women and now I wanted to put my new found self to the test. Was I going to be able to be more connected and more in tune with this one, or was I going to do what I always did and mess this up too?

Well I’ll have you guys know, that I’m still seeing said women and we had our 1st few arguments as that’s how it usually goes when you’re trying to learn about each other and figure out how to get along with one another. Something is different now. I can “hold space for her emotions” I can “provide a safe place for her emotions to be felt and expressed”.

BINGO, WINNER, WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!

This literally has changed so much for me. Just being able to unlock this side of me that seemed to be forever dormant within.

You know when you find a key to a door that is gonna take you to a special place? Well this now is my special place. Being able to be vulnerable and put myself out there and sharing and expressing from a deeper level, instead of just from the logical side of life.

I attribute this change in me to Catherine and this practice of the emotion code & belief code. I to this day still have sessions with Catherine regularly. Now it’s to work on other areas of life.

I just wanted to share my experience and story on how she helped me in a huge way, with something I thought would never get solved.

So if any of you reading this are looking for a solution to any life issues you feel stuck in. I would give Catherine a shot if I were you. You never know what blessing might come your way by just taking initiative and trying. You just never ever know where you could end up.

It’s worth doing this work guys and girls.

So anyways, THANK YOU CATHERINE TOEWS

Much appreciate your help and continued help with progress in areas of my life.
