Breathwork with Cat

During an especially busy time of year, our Chance for Change members were grateful to pause and reset during a breathwork session led by Cat McCarthy, Founder of Breathe with Cat, who generously volunteered her time to help rejuvenate our community.

The session introduced a therapeutically-informed guided breathing meditation that members found approachable, engaging, and genuinely useful for managing stress and grounding themselves in the moment. Participants shared how the practice encouraged reflection, created a sense of peace, and offered tools they will carry with them long after the session.

Beyond the techniques themselves, Cat’s warmth and presence helped create an environment where members felt comfortable, supported, and connected. We are deeply thankful for the care and intention she brought to the group.

We are always grateful for volunteers who share their unique skills and experiences—whether in wellness, cooking, creative arts, group facilitation, or educational expertise—with our community. If you’re interested in bringing your talents to NCS members, we’d love to hear from you.
