Cathy Underwood

Award-winning somatic therapist, Flow Dance Meditation teacher and women's health advocate with 30+ years in wellbeing. Yoga, movement therapy, classes, retreats and training for stress, trauma and complex mental health.

Somatic Yoga for Anxiety

Come and journey within to meet your authentic self

Welcome. I'm an award-winning somatic therapist, international mind-body presenter, Flow Dance Meditation teacher and advocate for women's health. With over 30 years' experience in the health and wellbeing arena, I offer classes, sessions and events that help individuals and groups support their health and wellbeing.

There are two arms to my business. Alongside my community work, I provide specialised training and consultancy for charitable organisations, SEN schools and clinical environments such as the North London Priory Hospital and Ambitious about Autism, where I deliver yoga and movement therapy for pupils, patients and staff.

My work focuses on mind-body solutions for a spectrum of chronic stress-related conditions — anxiety and depression, trauma and PTSD, sensory processing and complex mental health. Holding a safe space, where a person feels heard and held, is the magic ingredient in every healing journey.
