At Nourish Nurture Blossom, Catherine believes in providing a safe, non-judgemental space which aims to provide education and compassionate support on your journey to wellness. Catherine is committed to working collaboratively with both medical and other relevant health professionals, ensuring clients feel supported within their treating team, knowing both their medical and mental health needs are being looked after.
The name Nourish Nurture Blossom and cherry blossom logo were chosen to reflect the beliefs of the service. Cherry blossoms are the small delicate pink flowers produced by the cherry blossom tree. Like any living thing, they need nourishment and nurturing to grow to their full potential. They signify love and the female mystique, beauty and strength. They are tied to Buddhist themes of mortality, mindfulness and living in the present and are a timeless metaphor for human existence, reminding us to pay attention to the grace surrounding us everywhere.
Cherry blossoms are also revered as a symbol of rebirth, a time of renewal and optimism, bringing hope and dreams of a future bursting with possibilities.
