About Me

My Background
Hi, my name is Catherine Ranum and I am a full time psychotherapist and Reiki Master practicing in the Austin area. I work with a variety of clients with differing needs.   Some come in with physical issues they would like to address and others with emotional or relationship concerns.  I combine my empathic and intuitive nature with a solid foundation in transpersonal psychology and counseling theory.  My goal as your counselor is to meet you where you are and move forward from there. Wellness in your whole being is what I strive for and I hope to inspire the inner healer in you, because  you are the ultimate expert on yourself.  I also volunteer and work with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Austin and The Wright House. They are wonderful organizations to work for.

 

My personal experience with Reiki
I first experienced Reiki in the Fall of 2007.  I clearly remember feeling my body absorbing and uniting with the energy and it felt like I was percolating!  After the session I felt very grounded and expanded at the same time. I knew then that I would have to become a Reiki practitioner and eventually a Reiki teacher so I could share this experience with others.  As a counselor I personally experienced the physical and emotional benefits of practicing reiki on myself and others.
