About Self Care: Releasing Stress & Anxiety
6 CEs NCBTMB
We are living in a time of unprecedented pressure, anxiety about the world we live in, and social stresses. Nearly everyone is struggling right now.
Now more than ever we have awareness about trauma, depression, anxiety, fear, worry, divisiveness, financial strain, rising housing and food costs, and the constant barrage of social media pressure to be perfect, beautiful, and amazing through it all.
Ugh. That's a whole bunch of stress right there, without even considering when things blow up in a moment, like losing your home or job, divorce or separation, worry about your child, or a similar acute situation.
Just living seems to be difficult and scary.
We end up internalizing our fear that we aren't enough, that we can't handle it, or that we actually deserve life to be hard. We shame ourselves and others. All day long we stack stress in our system and it's literally causing us to become sick or angry or lost.
The purchase of this course INCLUDES a therapy ball which we will use to release the psoas muscle. The importance of this will be explained during the course. Also, you will receive access to a bunch of simple and short guided practices for you to follow throughout your days, regularly stopping stress from accumulating in your nervous system.
As a massage therapist, your clients come into their sessions holding their stress in their bodies. Have you ever had a client that couldn't relax? Yeah. We all have. In this course you will learn ways that you can support every client into a state of more calm and ease, which makes everything else you do more effective.

Cat Matlock is the founder, lead therapist, and instructor at FreeBody Trigger Point Massage Clinic and Training Center in Asheville, NC. She has worked with tens of thousands of clients and students.
Since 1993, Cat has continuously studied the body and mind (and heart), developing her methods of addressing dysfunction, injury, and chronic pain. Her work is rooted in Trigger Point Therapy and a strong belief in the essential practice of working with the nervous system to gain access to the muscles and connective tissues.
Cat is a Trauma Informed Yoga Therapist™, an instructor of Overcoming Anxiety™, and a longtime practitioner of yoga and meditation. She began instructing yoga in 2001 and massage therapy in 2005. She expertly weaves her knowledge of the nervous system and vagal tone (essentially, being able to handle difficult things more easily) with her anatomical and precise trigger point location skills.
Cat published her first book in 2023. FreeBody: The Body, Pain, and a Path to Freedom. See it here
Since 2020, Cat has focused her studies with The Embody Lab. She has completed their Integrated Trauma Therapy Certificate, Somatic Parts Work, Somatic Mind/Body and Somatic Anxiety Coaching programs. In June 2026, Cat completed the IFS Informed Somatic Trauma Therapy training.
