CATHY SPOONER
COUNSELLOR & LIFE COACH
Womanhood awakens us. It stretches us, shapes us, and sometimes breaks us open to who we truly are.
And it can leave us wondering...
Why does it feel so heavy sometimes?
How can I love the people in my world deeply — and still ache for space?
Where did I go in all of this?
How do I make time for myself… without guilt, shame, or explanation?
In the sacred storms of life - through motherhood, relationships, careers, and constant giving - many women lose touch with the self beneath the roles.
You don’t have to choose between being everything for everyone and being whole within yourself.
You get to be both and they can support each other. That’s what we explore together here.

THE RE-BEGINNING
Free monthly online circle to reset, reconnect and re-begin
Counsellor, Life Coach, Psychotherapist in training, Author and Mum of three.
I support women and mothers who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or lost within the demands of life — to regulate their nervous system, rediscover who they are, and reconnect with the deeper wisdom within themselves.
Through a blend of counselling, coaching and mind-body approaches, I help you move beyond burnout, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion — so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and deeply connected to yourself and your children.
This work isn’t about fixing you — it’s about remembering who you are beneath the overwhelm.
What it might feel like for you right now…
You’ve disappeared in the day-to-day of motherhood
You’re stretched thin between love, guilt, stress, and exhaustion
Your anger or anxiety is taking up too much space
You’re craving something deeper — something of your own
You’re tired of silencing your voice, body, and needs
You’re desperate to know why this feels so hard — and what to do next
What I can help with
Stress and burnout
Anxiety and overwhelm
Identity changes in motherhood
Feeling disconnected from oneself
Emotional exhaustion
Nervous system support
Family and relationship challenges
“Refreshingly real and authentic. Conscious Motherhood is a must read for all mothers!”
As we enter into motherhood we are often given a filtered version of what to expect and a silent list of expectations on how to be a “good” mother. This old story is what sets us on a course where we place pressure on ourselves to be it all and do it all. Ultimately, we lose ourselves in that search.
The greatest challenge is to honour the woman alongside the mother as we enter into motherhood. Women are calling from within their souls to find a way in which motherhood is balanced, free from self-judgement and guilt and that doesn’t require them to sacrifice themselves and their desires in order to be a good mother.
Charise Deveney - Clinical Psychologist
Release stress, clear emotional heaviness and come home to you.
You’ve been holding so much.
The noise, the pressure, the overstimulation — it all builds up.
And in the middle of it… you forget how to breathe again.
This audio is your invitation to pause, recalibrate, and reconnect.
Not with who the world expects you to be — but with the woman you truly are.

This book has saved me!
This book is a must for all mums in all different walks of life. It’s a great read with lots of small chapters and it really puts everything I’ve ever thought about into words and helps move through it all with grace! Being a mum is such a blessing and also so hard at times. Cathy’s mantra is “choose love every time”. This is something that will stick with me forever. We all have different ‘hards’ and this book has saved me! It came to me at such an important time in my journey of motherhood and all I can say is THANK YOU Cathy! You are changing the lives of so many women including me, book by book.

Bridging the gap between my vision and the reality
This Coaching Series was such an invaluable experience. Before we began, I felt like I was in a holding pattern in my life and business – lots of ideas and half-started projects but not much momentum or structure. Cathy helped me gently peel back the layers of the blocks and patterns keeping me stuck and to tease out the most important threads for my focus. It was such a delight and joy to work with Cath, I felt incredibly supported and held throughout the series and I would wholeheartedly recommend her as a coach to anyone who needs some loving support to embody their potential.

I was blown away!
It was not only fun but so amazingly relevant and left me feeling inspired, supported and uplifted. I went in with a few questions in my mind that I had discussed with my husband that day about my health & without even telling Cathy any details about these questions, she answered them one by one. My guides were clearly speaking directly to her. It was a beautiful experience and left me feeling very aware of the support that surrounds me all the time. Cathy has a gift and shared it in such a beautiful way. Thank you Cathy.

It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders
When I first met Cathy, I was feeling a major sense of overwhelm, of not knowing what was the next step I should be taking. Cathy’s warm tender style allowed me to relax and feel comfortable. She has an intuitive heart-centred approach. Since working with Cathy, I've created a couple of different self-care routines that bring calm and joy to each day in a positive way. I’m now moving forward with clarity and inspiration.

Because this is where I think we get stuck.
We’ve been conditioned to believe you can only choose one. But you’re here to embody both.
Motherhood can be a portal to your deepest power, not the end of it.
When you stop abandoning yourself, the resentment fades.
When you start honoring your truth, your joy returns.
When your nervous system is held — your life shifts.
This is not about doing more. This is about becoming more you — again.
Feel connected as a mother and liberated as a woman
