Catherine Orzech has an unparalleled ability to go to the heart of mindfulness and make it accessible, clear, and approachable. Catherine’s style reflects respect for the depth of the topic, but in the tone of a dear friend with warmth, compassion, and humor. An outstanding companion for anyone seeking peace, ease, and clarity.
