ABOUT CATHY

Welcome to Harmony with Catherine, my name is Catherine DeFrancesco.

A proud Mother of four, I’ve enjoyed a career of twenty-plus years in health and wellness. Along with being a business owner with certifications in holistic nutrition, Reiki (1 &2) and TCM acupuncture, I’m also a devout student of life, a yogi and world traveler who believes true health and happiness comes from within, and it’s my mission (my joy!) to help women achieve this and more.

My journey to wellness started when I was diagnosed with cervical cancer in my twenties.  Rather than see this as a set-back, I see now it was a ‘set-up’ as it led me to dive deeper into understanding the role of nutrition and fitness, along with yoga, Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda.

Fast-forward years later, along with Harmony with Catherine, I’m also the founder and owner of SOL Yoga.  A yoga company with two locations in Florida featuring state-of-the-art studios, wellness boutiques and services including LED facial therapy and massage. I’ve also helped launch and bring a variety of health and natural beauty products to the market with more exciting expansions coming soon.

Forever on a quest to broaden my horizons and knowledge, I’ve traveled the globe and experienced all different methodologies of health.  While in India, I experienced an intensive introduction to Ayurveda, to Austria, Japan and Switzerland, where I was immersed in powerful integrative, wholistic experiences.

Among my most profound, life-enhancing experiences was and remains, traditional Chinese Medicine, specifically acupuncture. I first discovered the benefits of this practice when I was struggling with digestive and sleep issues. Along with opening my eyes and pathways to healing, acupuncture healed my soul. With regular treatments, I noticed I felt better, more calm and at peace with life’s challenges, including the depression I felt following my Father’s passing.

Recognizing so many other women are struggling with their health - emotionally and physically, I founded ‘Harmony with Catherine’. It’s in this practice where I’m dedicated to helping harmonize the relationship between one’s internal organs and their lives for better balance and vitality.

Whether you are experiencing digestive or hormonal issues, heightened anxiety or poor sleep, I am here to help you achieve your ideal state of inner being, a balance of ying and the yang  - or as I call it “ultimate vitality”. 

Namaste,

Catherine
