About Catalize

Catalize is a business I formed in 1998 to help people be joyful, purposeful and prosperous in everything they do.

The name Catalize is based on the concept of a catalyst, which is any element used to help speed up a change or transformation without becoming part of the final product.

The Catalize mission is to inspire, motivate and enable resources so that each of us may expand into greater success and prosperity.

About Melissa Cantrelle

I am a transformational life coach, an intuitive healer, an author, a retreat leader, and a business catalyst.

I've worked for over twelve years in the corporate world as a management consultant to large and small businesses, as a senior project manager for entrepreneurial and technology adventures, and as a coach and facilitator for experiential business workshops.

(That's my logical and practical side)

I've also trained and practiced for over twenty years as an intuitive healer and I work closely with Nature in everything I do. I'm a certified NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) Master and Trainer, Eriksonian hypnosis practitioner, and Theta healer.  My first book Conversations with Nature will be released to the public soon.

(That's my artistic, intuitive side)

I use both my pragmatic and my intuitive skills when I coach people and lead workshops and retreats.  It's a winning combination for helping you discover your dreams, remove any limitations, and take practical steps to make your dreams come true. 

I am from the Pacific Northwest and I am currently joyfully planted in Dallas, Texas with my love and our two cats.

I am blessed with many remarkable and loving friends here. Together we offer a growing list of workshops and retreats filled with powerful exercises to help you own your brilliance and create the life you want to live.

I love the opportunities that coaching and workshops give me to bring all my corporate, healing, and life tools together to propel and champion you forward on whatever path is right for you.

My joy is in seeing you realize yours.
 

About Catalize Coaching Principles

I'm trained as a life coach through the International Coach Federation's accredited school, The Coaches Training Institute (CTI) which promotes a concept called "co-active coaching."

The basic approach of co-active coaching is for the coach and client to work together as equals to meet the needs of the client.

Here are some of the principles of the Co-Active Coaching Model that guide my work:

	We address your whole life because each area of your life can impact (and support) what you want in the other areas of your life.
	The Agenda comes from you, which is why we work together to help you define your purpose and your desired visions.  It's all about your dream, your preferred approach, and your desired timeline.
	We dance in the moment together, addressing whatever obstacles have come up and celebrating all the successes you have, even if they weren't part of your original plan.
	You are Naturally Creative, Resourceful and Whole!  As a brilliant and amazing human being, you have all the answers inside of you and I have the honor of helping you draw them out.

As your coach I bring curiosity, authenticity and connection to a coaching relationship that we structure together to meet our combined purpose: joyfully bringing your inspired visions to life!
