Founded in 1997 by Bob Mandel, the International Self-Esteem Project had the mission to “Raise the Self-Esteem of every man, woman and child around the Planet and turn their potencial into successfull action”. This project is about Journeys which I learned, became a teacher, and most of all, I have lived them.

“Self-Esteem is a healthy perception of ourselves that grows and expands to include others, one by one, in every sacred encounter.” Bob Mandel

I facilitate the Self-Esteem Program to individuals and groups. In a very gentle and profound way, I will guide you into new and healthier pathways of relating with yourself and others from the most transformational, magical and powerful place: your Heart.

All hearts have challenges throughout life, and some of the challenges are common to all of us. This is one of the immense pearls Bob Mandel left to us. From all the people he supported during his life, he mapped people’s most sacred spaces, created the International Self-Esteem Project, and I received his teachings and trainings in 2003. I have been supporting individuals and groups since then with this program. So, what can you benefit from this program? Instead of living in defense mechanisms and reactions, you will receive tools for managing conscious changes in life, while motivating interaction with others from a constructive and proactive behaviour. I believe that it is when people open their hearts to themselves and others that they will find the magic of life and its fine interconnections as well as in themselves. This a journey home.

In 10 Journeys, you will guide you into creating a healthier relationship with yourself and with others around you, not creating false images on you, but focusing on the good aspects of the reality you experience in you and with others. I teach what is Self-Esteem and how to practice it everyday for personal benefit and awareness, while creating also positive benefits to others around, healthier relationships, more happiness, love and trust in life and more confidence in your personal choices. You will be able to learn, discuss, practice, live, experiment, explore and share the journeys of Self-Acceptance, Tolerance, Forgiving the Past, Extend Support, Create a Positive-Self Image, Acknowledge Others, The Divine in You, The Divine in Others, Humility and Freedom. You will also learn about the traps for each journey, which ones you tend to create in your life, and I will empower you with new possibilities for yourself.

I enjoyed the training with Caty. I could feel her passion for the work she does.

The program was very inspiring. I will do more visualizations in the future. During the course I became more aware of my emotions and learned to accept my childhood. All journeys were inspiring from the beginning to the end. I advise this program to anyone because it helps people to look back into their past and move forward in life peacefully. The journeys of The Divine in Others, Humility and Freedom felt special for me.

Thanks for the learnings. They made me more open to new perspectives. I became more aware of myself and on the topic of love and hate while relating with others. The Journeys that stood out more for me were Acknowledge Others and The Divine in Others as I was able to see people beyond whom they appear to be. Caty was very thoughtful in her work as a coach.

This program was very helpful and it taught me a lot about myself and others. My perception of myself and on the way I relate with others changed in me because I used to be a very loud person and I would just say what came into my mind while now I consider the person’s feelings first if I say something. So I am more aware of other people. The Journey of the Divine in Others was the one I most enjoyed. I felt good working with Caty.

I truly enjoyed the new learning and restoration of my soul. This course enhanced my life and future. All journeys were really good, but the journey of the Divine in Others, and looking deeper at another person was the journey I most enjoyed. I definitely look forward to work more with Caty.

Challenging the constructs we set for ourselves is one of the hardest things we can do. The gentleness of these journeys made it more possible. I realised that the perception I have of myself is work in progress and how easy it is to slip into old (bad) habits. The journey that most stood out for me was Healing the Past: I had held a long grudge against myself for losing a time when I thought I was most happy. I felt good working with Caty. Caty was personally related with the journeys and I felt safe in the process.

These journeys were quite interesting. Some of the topics really stood out for me. I improved my perception about myself and I became more attentive on the way others relate to me. I improved the quality of my relationships. I enjoyed the Journey of Healing the Past the most because I received this journey at the right moment when I felt I needed to heal from a memory that I have been struggling with. I found Caty interesting and unique from other facilitators I have met before.
