Being good at keeping things going can keep you somewhere for too long.

You’re capable. People rely on you. When something needs handling, you handle it.

That makes it surprisingly easy to keep your life running after parts of it stop working for you.

Your own decision waits until things settle down.

But when, exactly, will that be?

You’re allowed to reconsider a life you worked hard to build.

What needs your attention?

A decision that keeps following you.

You’ve considered the options, but keep circling back. We examine what makes the choice difficult and what you need to move forward..
A chapter you’ve outgrown.

Your circumstances or priorities have changed. We work through what deserves a place in your life now.
A pattern you’re ready to interrupt.

Overcommitting, avoiding difficult conversations, putting yourself last. We'll examine how the pattern works and practice a different response.

What have you been putting off?

Our conversations should change what happens outside them.

We start with your actual circumstances.

Together, we identify the friction, question the assumptions shaping your choices, and develop a practical blueprint for change.

Between sessions, you put it to work. A conversation happens. A boundary gets tested. A decision reveals something you couldn’t learn by thinking about it alone.

We use that experience to decide what comes next.

Look at the decisions, patterns, and pressures shaping your day-to-day life. Identify the change that deserves your attention first.
Define your priorities and translate them into realistic choices. Give your next chapter a direction you can act on.
Bring the work into your conversations, boundaries, and habits. Review what happens, adjust, and keep moving with intention.
Your circumstances guide the work. Progress depends on your participation and the choices you make between sessions.

If you keep coming back to the same question, the same frustration, or the same decision you have been avoiding, that is where coaching goes deeper.

Life is precious.

Make room for yours.

I’m Catarina De Sousa Henriques.

My background is in psychology, health and business coaching, with more than a decade of experience teaching yoga, breathwork, and meditation.

Originally from Portugal and now based in Baltimore, I founded The Hall of SELF and developed a private practice in Washington, DC.

Working with me means thoughtful attention, direct questions, and room to be a person figuring things out.

You remain responsible for your decisions. My role is to make the process clearer and support you in following through.

Why me?

My unique credentials

Multidisciplinary Expertise of 6 years = 6500 hours of training with a Yoga Master | 17 years of regular teaching;
Dual-certified Health and Business Coach with master’s-level training in Health and Clinical Psychology (thesis pending). Blending scientific credibility, evidence-based practice, emotional depth, and human-centered intuition.
What Makes Me Different

I blend neuroscience, somatic intelligence, and behavioral coaching to awaken clarity, resilience, and peak performance—creating immersive, high-frequency experiences where science and soul meet in transformation.

A framework for your whole life.
A difficult decision rarely belongs to just one area. Work affects your energy. Financial pressure follows you home. Relationships influence how you see yourself.
Prime SELF Mastery™ gives us a framework for understanding those connections and choosing where to focus.
The Sacred Minimum™ establishes manageable practices that support you while things change.
When useful, Yoga, breathwork, meditation, and sound help you settle before we work through what needs your attention.
The approach adapts to you.

Rebuilding self-trust after burnout or a major life change

Yes. Private coaching is available online, with limited in-person sessions in Washington, DC. Availability and the details of the partnership are discussed before you commit.
These practices are available when useful and welcome. Sessions can also be entirely conversational and focused on decisions, planning, and action.
No. Coaching with Catarina is not therapy, psychotherapy, medical care, diagnosis, or mental health treatment.
If you are in crisis, experiencing severe mental health symptoms, or need clinical treatment, please contact a licensed mental health professional or emergency support in your area.
Therapy often focuses on diagnosis, treatment, trauma processing, and clinical mental health care.
Coaching focuses on present-moment awareness, personal growth, decision-making, life direction, habits, identity, values, and practical action: where you are now, where you want to go, what patterns are keeping you stuck, and what practical steps can support your next chapter.
Many clients benefit from both therapy and coaching, depending on their needs.
Coaching can support you in examining your priorities, making manageable commitments, and following through on decisions that reflect your needs. We work with your current circumstances and capacity.
Catarina offers private coaching online, including for clients in Washington, DC. Coaching does not provide clinical treatment for mental health conditions.description

Yoga & Breathwork Client Experiences.

Catarina's breathwork class was an incredible and profound experience. I felt that she made the class feel safe and held in the space. The breathwork was a powerful practice of being with discomfort and how moving through that can be a portal for processing, integrating and clarity. After the breathwork there was time for (optional) discussion of everyone's experience. Catarina shared a lot of helpful information about Conscious Connected Breathing, what to expect and aftercare. I walked away feeling like I was buzzing, energetically and physically exfoliated, and with an expanded capacity for being present.

I find myself lucky to have crossed paths with Catarina. She has an amazing studio where you already feel calm and relaxed as soon as you enter from the door. In my first time, I initially went to her studio to practice yoga as that’s what we usually do, but for some reason that day I wanted to try breath work and I’m so glad I did. It was an incredible experience opened a new door for me the very next day which was almost unbelievable for me. Everyone’s experience is different but I resolved something I’ve been wanting to resolve for a very long time. Catarina has an amazing personality, she is a bit magical :) and the kindest person. I can’t wait to attend more sessions. Thank you Catarina!

Damla Dinc
The experience of breathwork is impossible to describe with words, but I will say that I experienced an intense flow of energy coursing through my body and a deep sense of peace. This was only my second time doing this type of practice and I'm sure every experience will be different. I am extremely grateful for this experience. Catarina has a wonderful presence. She does an excellent job of making one feel welcome and safe.
