CATHLEEN JACKSON

Throughout her life’s work, Cathleen Jackson has been helping people transform their lives by finding their own path to realizing their potential. After intensive studies in the areas of art therapy, psychology spirituality along with other energy therapy techniques, Cathleen began her career as a Life Coach. Coaching is all about having someone believe in you and encourage you, about getting valuable feedback, about seeing things from new perspectives and setting your sights on new horizons. But that path, as Cathleen would observe, was often blocked by a paradox of personal growth: identifying and talking about a problem did not necessarily lead to change—even when it did, change could be painfully slow. Cathleen knew there had to be another solution, a means of guiding them more quickly to the answers within themselves. Cathleen found that solution in her training at the Wellness Institute in Washington, where she was certified as a Heart-Centered Hypnotherapist.

Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy combines Humanistic psychology (Gestalt, TA), Developmental psychology (inner child), Behavior modification (classical and NLP), Hypnotherapy (traditional & Ericksonian) and A Heart-Centered holistic approach into a brief, deeply healing new psychotherapy. This approach to treatment includes the body, mind, emotions and spirit of each person involved. "Even though I am not hypnotizing a client if working by phone, I have refined my intuitive radar to pick up on areas worthy of exploration".

Cathleen Jackson moved from New York City to Huntsville, Alabama in 2005 after eighteen years of active participation in the NYC arts and alternative health arenas. Ms. Jackson is a certified Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist and Yoga Teacher. She specializes in pain and stress management including treating phobias and grief recovery. Each of us has suffered so much loss- job, family, friends, relationships, mobility- and our society provides little comfort or comprehension of long term affects.

"Lifestyle changes are of particular interest to me," explains Cathleen. “I know firsthand the level of stress that can be created when faced with major life changes. These transitions impact both children and adults. My job is to help my client adapt through a relaxation response versus a stress reaction- anger, anxiety, hopelessness, insomnia, increased blood pressure, digestive disorders etc. Stress related behaviors such as smoking, overeating and excessive drinking are self destructive attempts at easing internal tensions.
My job is to increase the stress management options both in realtime and programmed in your subconscious mind."

Life Coaching and Hypnotherapy are not substitutes for conventional medicine with its vast research and technology. They are complementary approaches that offer the client the ability to access their inner resources.

Cathleen has been published in medical journals and her artwork has
appeared in school text books as well as private collections throughout the United States.

Prior to her career as a Life Coach/ Hypnotherapist, Cathleen Jackson was a successful music industry executive, known for her abilities to develop young songwriters and artists—even then, she was helping people to find their own unique path. These talents eventually led Cathleen to run Prince’s Paisley Park Publishing in New York—she came aboard just as Prince was beginning his “artist formerly known as” identity crisis. Cathleen is also a published fine artist, with paintings in collections throughout the U.S. She lives in Huntsville with her husband Daniel and son Jackson. Cathleen and Daniel started Angels Among Us, a non profit organization in 2005.
Angels Among Us was established to encourage civic responsibility in the student population of Madison County. In partnership with area schools and business, Angels strives to educate the community as to issues that affect youth and in turn support proactive measures
that address these concerns.

Cathleen is available for corporate seminars and group bookings.
