About Cathy...
I’m Cathy Foytik—a psychotherapist, educator, and founder of The Soma Alchemy Institute, The Center for Conscious Community, and Thee Tree House.
For nearly three decades, I’ve worked in the mental health field supporting individuals navigating trauma, addiction, and complex emotional experiences—often when traditional approaches have not fully met their needs. Over time, my work evolved beyond conventional psychotherapy as I recognized that true healing requires more than insight alone. It requires reconnecting with the body, processing what has been held beneath awareness, and creating space for deeper transformation.
My approach bridges clinical training with transpersonal and holistic practices, integrating somatic awareness, trauma-informed care, hypnotherapy, psychedelic breathwork, and mind-body integration. I completed a doctoral-level curriculum in Transpersonal Psychology, expanding my understanding of healing beyond traditional frameworks and into the full spectrum of human experience.
Soma Alchemy was born from this evolution—a space where science, spirit, and the body come together. Through courses, trainings, and immersive experiences, I guide individuals into deeper levels of self-awareness, embodiment, and conscious transformation.
In addition to my clinical and somatic work, my path has been shaped by years of immersion in intuitive and transpersonal practices. As a fifth-generation intuitive and empath, I have developed a depth of perception that informs how I listen, understand, and guide within this work. This includes experience in areas such as subtle energy systems, shadow integration, dream exploration, and spiritual and end-of-life transition practices.
These elements are not separate from the work—they are integrated in a grounded and intentional way, always in service of supporting each individual’s unique process of healing and growth.
Whether you are moving through trauma, seeking deeper self-understanding, or feeling called toward personal transformation, this space is here to support that process.
If you feel drawn to this work, I invite you to begin wherever you are.
