What People Are Saying

"Cat’s workshops are always really popular. The audience feedback consistently reflects her engaging style and her sex-positive presentation. Plus, she’s lots of fun!"

~ Charlie Glickman, PhD, Education Program Manager, Good Vibrations

"In a society that often skims the surface of sexuality issues, Catherine craftily manages to help participants dive within themselves and safely explore.  In a safe, comfortable and inviting manner, she can transform a room into an open and sex positive environment for sex nerds, the vanilla folk and all those in between.  Yet no euphemisms are needed as she doesn't pull any punches in her presentations!  This honesty illustrates what individuals are desperately seeking today: truthful conversations and reputable guidance about sexuality.  Catherine hits all the bases of a skilled educator: she's comforting, highly skilled and sparkles!"

~ Megan Andelloux, Certified Sexuality Educator, AASECT, Board Certified Sexologist, ACS, Founder of OhMegan.com

"I've seen great workshops as a Good Vibrations employee, but my favorite, hands down, is Cat's Power Flirting workshop.  Her workshop has CHANGED MY LIFE!  I've always been very shy and totally oblivious to flirting.  Everything has changed after Cat's workshop.  My co-workers at the store could not believe I was being such a BIG FLIRT.  They were wowed by my new skills."

~ Marianna L. Estrada, Sex Educator/Sales Associate, Good Vibrations
