I've only done the Contortion Strong Mini: Hamstring Edition TWICE, and I achieved flat splits for the first time since my years old hamstring injury. And NO MORE PAIN!!

In just 5 days, the Contortion Strong Mini: Toe Point made a noticeable difference. I can’t believe it!! I love this program!

I love the Contortion Strong Mini: Shoulder Edition! My old, stiff, sore shoulders feel young again every time I do it.

The Post-Backbending Contortion Strong program is an absolute must-have for any back bending contortionist!

Hip Hip Hooray is the best workshop I've ever done. Catie gave excellent cues, and I had huge breakthroughs. Highly recommend!

I love the Contortion Strong Mini: Shoulder Edition. I'm so stiff that it's usually hard for me to stretch my shoulders without help, but these exercises helped me go deeper on my own!

I have struggled with lower back pain since I started circus 6 years ago. I have trained with numerous coaches internationally, but THIS conditioning program (Post-Backbending) has changed my world. My body feels satisfied/fullfilled/complete, my core feels uber strong, AND my back is so happy!

A few weeks of the Pre & Post-Back programs and my back doesn't hurt anymore! I'm more flexible and am finally strong enough to do new tricks.

I really never thought my body was built to be bendy with how muscular I am, but Catie's Personalized Leg and Back Training has proven that all wrong.

For years I've disliked backbends, and they never felt good. But with the Personalized Training, I actually look forward to doing them! Her focus on strength made such a difference.

Enrolling in Catie's Personalized Leg and Back Training was surely one of the best decisions I made last year! After our consult I am motivated to set my goals even higher.

Catie has a great attitude - firm, respectful, and fun, with a excellent eye for technique and intuition for the needs of different bodies.
Ashlee Milanich

I've been dancing my whole life, and Catie was the only coach able to get my legs and back past what I assumed was my "natural stopping point."
Erica Saben

Catie is a wonderful coach to work with. I really loved learning how to modify my splits and backbends to focus the stretches on each part of the kinetic chain.
Kaeti Frady
Aerialist and Hand Balancer
Catie is awesome. She helped me correct so many bad habits that other instructors haven't been able to. I love her fun attitude, but also that safety and proper technique are primary focuses in her training.

Catie is fantastic. I’ve never worked with a coach who has such a complete understanding of contortion and how to push boundaries safely.
