Bringing Baby Home Workshops
Catherine taught undergraduate classes in Family and Child Development at Auburn University and classes on topics related to marriage and family life, corporate stress, adjusting to life-cycle transitions, living with chronic illness, recovering from sexual abuse and healing from trauma, at professional conferences, local churches, PTA workshops and hospitals. 
Concerned about contemporary issues impacting new parents and the high divorce rate among families with young children, and familiar with the quality of Dr. John Gottman’s work, she communicated with his Institute while developing a class on how having a baby will affect your marriage for Piedmont Hospital’s perinatal education series in 2004. In 2005 she was among the first graduates of his national "Bringing Baby Home" educator certification program. She now conducts these workshops through Grace and Growth Counseling Center in Sandy Springs, Georgia.
