Cathy is a medical doctor, homeopath, and acupuncturist. Her commitment to building a more humane and compassionate society was expressed for over ten years through her work with the Traveller community. In 1994, she founded and has since led the association Tonglen, now known as Accompagnement Ecoe, which has a dual mission: supporting people in difficulty or at the end of life, as well as training anyone interested in this field. In this capacity, she leads workshops and works with professionals in the medical and social sectors across France and Europe, and regularly speaks at conferences and symposiums.
Within Rigpa, she has been leading seminars and retreats for over 30 years and is also responsible for the Rigpa group in Montpellier.
