She is one of the key wellness facilitators at The Reef House Adults Retreat in Palm Cove, Queensland, Australia, where she leads classes designed to help guests find greater calm, clarity, flexibility, and release during their stay.
At the retreat, Cathrena is best known for her “Stretch & Breathe” sessions, which take place poolside in the resort’s tranquil setting. These classes are gentle, therapeutic, and accessible to many experience levels, focusing on easing tension in the body, improving flexibility, and encouraging mindful breathing techniques that promote relaxation.
In addition to these stretching classes, Cathrena also guides mindfulness and meditation sessions during the wellness retreats. Through her calm and supportive teaching style, she helps participants cultivate a sense of inner stillness and presence, creating space for emotional release, greater self-awareness, and a deeper connection between mind and body.
Guests of the retreat appreciate Cathrena’s warm, grounded approach to movement and mindfulness, and many find her sessions to be a soothing complement to the beachfront yoga and other wellness experiences available at The Reef House.
