ABOUT CATHY GUTERMAN, CPC
Cathy Guterman is certified as a professional life coach (CPC), an energy leadership master practitioner and an addiction recovery coach (CCAR/ NY State). After a 30-year career in public relations, she retired and pursued her passions for helping others with coach training through iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching) and Recovery Coach Academy at the Resource Training Center. Cathy is also a devoted practitioner of Transcendental Meditation ™, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Positive Psychology—all of which has helped to shape her coaching style.
Widowed suddenly at age 49, Cathy’s journey took her from an active, full lifestyle as a working mom with two teenagers into a dark and challenging space. Anxiety and depression plagued her as she struggled to find her way back on track. After her children intervened, she experienced her ‘moment of clarity’ and went on to get the help she needed.
In long-term recovery since 2004, Cathy has empowered many people to not just survive – but to thrive and transform their lives. Her personal ‘hands-on’ experience with grief and loss, addiction, single motherhood, relocations, financial issues, midlife dating, relationships, caring for elderly parents, empty-nest challenges and other obstacles has honed her coaching skills over the past seven years and has given her a unique perspective for helping others.
Cathy’s In Balance coaching program offers her clients an opportunity to gain valuable insights into themselves by creating new visions and developing strategic plans and goals for action and empowerment. In a non-judgmental, gentle manner, she provides a confidential, safe space for her clients to explore their truths and to develop skills to find their “balance” and authentic selves.
