Practitioners

Catherine Polisi

FOUNDER, NAAD CENTER
Sound Therapy * Kundalini RISE * Somatic Alignment * Medical Intuitive Readings * Meditation * Sekhem Energy Healing * Pranayama

In 2013, Catherine experienced a dramatic shift in her life whereby the universe moved her into a new phase in her spiritual journey that led to deeper study, discovery and reflection of her authentic self and the healing capacity we all have within ourselves. With that journey came greater introspection and reconnection with the creative healing arts that have always come naturally for her—sound, intuitive insight, physicality and meditative mindfulness. As a certified practitioner in each of these crafts, she integrates multiple modalities into her individual intuitive therapy sessions as healing in the Aquarian age is meant to be deeply connected rather than disparate, made up of the melding of many disciplines into one powerful modality, rather than separated into parts. As a child who knew things but didn’t know why and saw things that others did not, she decided as an adult to step into her power by exploring rather than ignoring these unexplainable experiences. Now as an intuitive, she uses her vision and ability to read and interpret energy to help others experience healing through themselves. She is a facilitator, a conduit of information from other dimensions and spirit energies and does not refer to herself as a healer as she strongly believes in empowering others to heal themselves. She offers her service in light and love with deep gratitude for the human experience we are offered on this earth.


Katerina Tsernou

Hypnosomatics / Hynpotherapy * Pranayama * Sound Therapy * Functional Movement * Kundalini Yoga

Katerina is an Integrative Wellness Practitioner, Certified Hypnotherapist and creator of Hypnosomatics—a method that teaches people how to use their body’s natural wisdom to heal, maintain balance, restore homeostasis and break unhealthy habits. She began her career with a focus on the physical body as a natural extension of her role as a professional volleyball athlete. She later transferred the physical knowledge she gained on the volleyball court to assist clients as a fitness coach in NYC. In working with her clients, many of whom had chronic lifestyle diseases such as depression, obesity and diabetes, she realized that medications or fitness alone were not adequately addressing their health issues and that all psycho-emotional states had a corresponding physiology pattern. When her clients felt depressed, they breathed and moved a certain way and used specific language patterns. But when they changed their body language, everything else improved, including their mood. She incorporated imagery training and breath work to her fitness method, teaching athletes how to feel confident and unstoppable prior to a game, using mind and body alone. This dual emphasis on the mind body connection later led her to study Hypnotherapy and other holistic modalities. Katerina received her certification in hypnosis from the Center of Integrative Hypnosis, in New York, where she was trained in clinical hypnosis, mind body therapies, coupled with Classical and Ericksonian Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming and Energy Psychology. She is a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, Center for Integrative Hypnosis, International College of Psychosomatic Medicine & National Physical Activity Society.

Gerry Caffrey

Gerry Caffrey

Rolfing

Gerry first came across Rolfing as a patient of the modality after experiencing pain in his neck and back and a curved spine after many years working as a market analyst in high-tech and investment banking and constantly sitting at a desk. The treatment was so effective and rapid in alleviating his symptoms that he decided to study Rolfing as a practitioner and transitioned from his old career on Wall Street to Rolfing full time. Rolfing is a system of soft tissue, myofascial (connective tissue) manipulation that assists the body in regaining its proper structure and alleviating pain throughout the body. Rolfing addresses all layers of the body’s tissues to reduce strain in the entire system. Research has demonstrated that Rolfing creates more efficient muscle use, allows the body to conserve energy and creates more economical and refined patterns of movement. Rolfing has also been shown to significantly reduce chronic stress, reduce spinal curvature in subjects with lordosis (sway back), and enhance neurological functioning. Gerry received his Rolfing certificate at the Rolf Institute in Boulder, Colorado.

Kelly Noelle

Intuitive Coach * Strategic Intervention * Trauma Therapy * Stress Management * Meditation * Intuitive Readings

During her childhood, Kelly had lucid dreams and visitations from spirit guides trying to teach her that we all reside in a multidimensional reality and life was far greater than what the naked eye could see. These experiences helped her develop a deep intuition, a spiritual dedication and compassion for the human experience. Her path led to monasteries, shamans, meditation caves, studying with renowned healers and breatharians, but her personal favorite was deeply connecting with people around the globe. Through her own life journey, she has learned many things, but one that stands out is that suffering is an inescapable aspect of being human and at the core of this suffering is a spiritual disconnection. This disconnect happens most often during traumatic experiences in life, which is why she specializes in coaching people through these events—past or present. She has been coaching for more than a decade and is a certified strategic intervention coach, a CT State sexual assault advocate/counselor/educator, with a background in Stress Management and Personal Development. Kelly uses her three-phase methodology, based on positive psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness and guided by her intuition skills in all offerings. The aim of her work is for you to develop skill sets that allow you to walk with grace and balance through the whirlwinds of life as you achieve your dreams. You will still “fall,” but you will learn quicker and rise faster.


Eliza Rose Kane

Breathwork Healing Meditation

Raised in New York, Eliza earned her Bachelor of Science in Dietetics from James Madison University in Virginia, followed by a career for several years as a fitness and wellness expert. Eliza's intrigue around wellbeing and finding ways to address her own personal challenges, led her out west to California where she was introduced to the healing arts and breathwork meditation. Breathwork became the catalyst for a journey of self discovery and a fascination with the complexity and brilliance of our human existence. Amazed by how something as simple as one's breath can hold such profound healing effects, Eliza directed her focus to helping people connect to their own intuitive voice, teaching them to trust this internal guidance system and understand their own innate healing abilities. She works with clients to bring awareness into their body, using breathwork to help them identify where energy is stagnate or blocked and then guiding the client to bring movement and freedom to these areas, which ultimately translates to freedom and movement in all areas of their life. Eliza believes our bodies are incredible messagers and allies, and the more we learn to listen and communicate with them, the more comfortable in our skin, at ease and vital we will feel. For over a decade, Eliza has trained with healer David Elliott, a pioneer in the breathwork/healing space. She is one of a handful of teachers that is qualified to teach David Elliott's Healer Training Level 1—a course that teaches people how to develop and trust their intuition, while also sharing how to use this breathwork practice to heal yourself and others.
