I help you reconnect with your inner light, so you can truly shine. I 'm in the business of shining stars!  



  • Are you obsessed with food, weight, and or dieting?

  • Do you turn to food for emotional comfort? Do you eat when stressed?

  • Are you putting off your happiness until you lose the weight?

  • Have you lost weight only to gain it back and then some?

  • Do you want to make peace with food and your body?
  • Are you ready to get off the dieting roller coaster and lose weight permanently?

  • Do you want a starring role in your own life?    


If the answer is yes to any of these questions, then I have the solution!


I'm Catherine L. Taylor, a weight loss coach and emotional eating specialist. I am certified by The American Council on Exercise as a Lifestyle and Weight Management Consultant. I have 20 years of recovery from compulsive overeating, food addiction, binge eating disorder alternating with bulimia, and have successfully maintained my weight during that time.

My work is to help you get off the dieting roller coaster, so that you may break free of your emotional eating patterns. I help you find new ways of being in the world that support your spiritual, mental, emotional and physical health.

Emotional eating is the number one cause of obesity. Emotional eating is any eating that is done other than to satisfy hunger. It is the reason why diet and exercise programs continually fail.

I have found that people who struggle with food and emotional eating are released from that prison once they learn the skills of mindful awareness and mindful eating, emotional self-nurturing and learning to set appropriate limits. This turns off the urge to overeat and engage in other compulsive behaviors. When you feel better, you eat better! I have walked this path myself, and it has led me to peace and freedom.

My philosophy is simple: We are all born whole, perfect and complete. You have all that you need inside of you. It has always been there, waiting for you to find it. It is your divine birthright. My work is to teach you the skills to reconnect to this place of wisdom. This becomes the pathway back home to your Thinner Self.

I am simply a guide, lighting the path for you to find your way back into your natural state of joy and balance.

The goal of my coaching is to create a balanced, healthier, nourishing and joy-filled life. You will begin to see results in all areas of your life because, How You Do Food Is How You Do Life!

I coach and mentor people in the areas of:  permanent weight loss and fitness, food addiction, compulsive, emotional overeating, binge eating, stress management, self esteem and body image issues.

One on one weight and life mastery coaching can make a big difference in getting and keeping you on track to meet your weight loss, fitness, and life goals. Many of you need the personal support to keep you accountable and on track. Sometimes just a few sessions can make a big difference in your level of motivation and focus.

The beauty of my coaching is that it is tailored to your individual needs. You are not given a "cookie cutter"  commercial program. There isn't one way to lose weight. You are given tools and support that are appropriate to your particular lifestyle, your personality type, life stage and needs.

I have helped hundreds of people lose weight and find thinner peace and happiness. My clients come from all walks of life and can be found in:

Northern California - San Francisco, Sacramento, Nevada City, San Mateo, Palo Alto, SF Peninsula, Marin County, Southern California - Los Angeles - Hollywood/Beverly Hills, San Diego, The Northwest - Seattle, Portland, The Southwest - Tuscon, Phoenix, Arizona, Boulder, Denver, Santa Fe/ Albuquerque, New Mexico area, Houston, Austin Texas,  Midwest - Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis, and the East Coast: Boston, New York City, Miami, Florida, England, Canada, and Australia.

Here are some of the goals and benefits of my coaching:

  • Better self care and stress management

  • Develop an action plan to lose weight and get fit!

  • Reconnect with your feelings, body, hopes, and dreams

  • Develop a healthier relationship with food, as well as life itself

  • Learn self forgiveness and loving kindness

  • Eliminate black and white thinking, perfectionism, and other thinking distortions

  • Release self defeating patterns around food and weight

  • Develop a deeper connection to your inner wisdom

  • Improved body image

  • Awaken to your real life

  • Recover your joy!

If you are in need of some inspiration, support, motivation, food for thought, and loving, healing energy, schedule an individual phone or in person session with me.

Contact me for a free consultation! I can be reached at 650-504-8588.

I offer individual phone sessions as well as in person and phone coaching packages, and email coaching. For my international clients I offer free long distance on the internet using SKYPE. This requires you to download SKYPE as well. It is a free and simple download.

Coaching is not psychotherapy and it is not intended to take it's place. I do not dispense medical advice. Please consult your doctor before embarking on a fitness and weight loss program.

Note: This work is spiritual, not religious, because it must be done from the inside out. My coaching and program compliments and respects all spiritual paths and beliefs. You do not need to believe in God or Buddhism to benefit from this work.

About Catherine L. Taylor


My Program

I'm the creator of  The Weight Loss Master's Club, a mindfulness based weight and life mastery program. It is a unique synthesis of East/West:  blending the ancient wisdom and insights of The East, with discoveries in modern neuroscience and positive psychology to help create optimal brain/ body balance. It is this state of balance that leads to permanent weight loss. When you feel better, you eat better!


How I Work:

Only one who has come out of the darkness can lead another to the light.

When people come to me to lose weight, it quickly becomes apparent to them that the weight is only a symptom. The larger issue is one of separation: a separation of the mind, body and spirit. Optimal health and fitness requires the mind and spirit to be as fit as the body.

When I work with another, whether in person or on the phone, I create a sacred space: a safe, supportive sanctuary for the healing to begin. There is no judgement or criticism,  just an acceptance of where you are at in the moment.

My intuitive, warm and loving presence acts as a mirror so that you can discover where you are presently blocking your own light and growth. I have a large toolbox of practical skills to tune mind, body and spirit, so that you can get the results you are looking for. It is in the practice of these skills that knowledge becomes wisdom.



What People Say: Client Testimonials

I cannot recommend Catherine too highly!
Catherine's gentle, positive, holistic, and action-oriented coaching has helped me far more than any psychological counseling or weight loss program has ever helped me before. She brings deep intuition, knowledge, and intelligence to her work. Catherine gets at the root of problems, clearing up space and energy for permanent change. Fear and stress yield to joy and pleasure. She is also deeply empowering (as so much "help" is not); that is, she makes every effort to work herself out of a job.    Kate Ward-Lehre, RN

Catherine's coaching has helped me truly realize that it is NOT about the food.
  She has helped me find peace and calmness amidst the daily responsibilities and stress of my life.  She has helped me stay engaged in my life and not be constantly looking for distractions in food.  She has helped me understand and realize that when the body, mind and spirit are not operating in resonance we look for comfort in food.

The best part is that I see myself making progress where I have always struggled.    Jessie S.

Mastery is a word that is used for an aspect of life that one understands so completely that they have manifested or taken the appropriate action to enjoy wholeness in that area.
Catherine has mastered weight loss as well as a balanced way of behaving towards food and exercise for life. It is quite an accomplishment and one that I am in awe of. I am grateful that she has done this work and that she shares it with me and the world. I am also grateful for her complete acceptance of who I am in her gentle counseling. My highest recommendations for anyone who is struggling with this issue.   Teri West, producer of the film, The Truth About Us.

I have been working with Catherine for about a month now and for the first time I feel like I'm making some true progress.
Catherine is so extremely kind, supportive, and encouraging! I really feel like her life experience and struggles make her a good coach because she understands what it's like to feel out of control when it comes to eating. At the same time, she's overcome it herself and she has an understanding of the process of recovery. I look forward to continuing my journey with her!     Danielle

Are You Coachable?

To benefit from the coaching process you need to be ready and willing to do something different. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results! This process will stretch you beyond your comfort zone; therefore, you need to be willing to be uncomfortable as you learn new ways of being.

You will need to learn to suspend your self criticisms and judgments and allow yourself the time and patience to sprout new wings. Change is much easier in a state of self-acceptance. Mistakes are a crucial part of the learning process. You must be open and willing to take gentle direction from a person who has been there. The crucial step required is action. Without your total commitment to practice these skills in your life, you will not be successful.

The greatest investment you will ever make is the one you make in yourself!
