Unearthing the light within.

The Aurora Method combines somatic energy healing and body-based practices to release emotional tension, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect you with your body from the inside out.

Meet Cate Porter

Nervous System & Somatic Healing Mentor

There is a deep knowing within us that longs to heal, to feel safe, and to reconnect with our own vitality.

Cate’s purpose is to help others access that place within themselves by gently shifting the patterns that keep them feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

Cate is the founder of Aurora Holistic Healing and creator of The Aurora Method. Her work weaves together somatic practices, breathwork, and energy work to support the nervous system and release what the body has been carrying.

This is not about chasing quick fixes or dramatic releases. Cate creates a safe space where the body can soften, integrate, and remember its own capacity to heal. Through this process, her clients often discover more clarity, emotional resilience, and a deeper sense of connection with themselves.

‘Healing begins when we embrace our wounds with compassion.’

Are you here because your body is carrying more than it knows how to hold?

Whether it shows up as burnout, overwhelm, big life changes or symptoms that won’t shift, The Aurora Method meets you where you are. It helps your system release what it’s holding and reconnect with itself in a safe, sustainable way.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH

→ I WANT TO WORK ONLINE

Life feels full, and you need support without adding more travel or logistics. Online sessions give you the same depth of nervous system and emotional work, right from the comfort of your own space.

→ I WANT IN PERSON SUPPORT

Sometimes being held in person makes all the difference. These sessions, most often on the Sunshine Coast and at times in Brisbane and Melbourne, combine bodywork, somatic practices, and energetics to shift what talking alone can’t. A space for release, regulation, and reconnection.

→ I WANT MENTORING

You’re growing something meaningful, but doing it alone can feel heavy. Mentoring gives you guidance, perspective, and practical tools to bring more ease, clarity, and flow to your path and your business.

→ I WANT TO LEARN THIS WORK

If you’ve felt the impact of this work, and you’re ready to bring it to others, The Aurora Method Training will guide you step by step. Learn to facilitate safe, powerful sessions that support both body and nervous system.

  • "Cate is an incredible practitioner. I have seen her in person and done her online group sessions and both are amazing. Cate has a beautiful energy, she immediately makes you feel comfortable, safe and relaxed. Would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to try Spinal Energetics or Kundalini activation."

  • "Cate is such a bright light in this world! She’s very knowledgeable and makes you feel very comfortable! I’ve had great experiences every session!"

  • "Wow!! Everyone needs to experience this. no words can articulate my experience but I’ll give it a try, feeling and sensing energy rotate inside and outside my body I thought was not possible, this has opened me up to a whole new world. Also had a clairvoyant experience seeing myself as a young child releasing the emotion of unworthiness which I thought I previously healed a long time ago, just proves how strong our bodies are at holding onto old stuff. I’m truly grateful for Cates beautiful work and energy she brings to all sessions. Thank you."

    Carina M

  • "Cate is such a beautiful, caring soul. She made me feel at ease during the sessions I had with her. We had our first session online as I live interstate for spinal energetics. I have not experienced this kind of healing before and admittedly I was skeptical at first but it I felt a remarkable release of trapped emotions during the session. It was a unique, beautiful experience and that made me decide to meet Cate in person and undergo the Kundalini activation. She greeted me with such warmth and made me feel comfortable. The journey for this is so worth it. Cate I would say is a big part of my healing journey. 🤍"

  • "I’ve had a couple of 1:1 sessions and have thoroughly benefited from the ease and connectedness which has flowed in since. I’ve experienced an increased sense of self awareness to go about my day in a more conscious manner. I found the session to be gentle and relaxing, a great springboard to continue my healing journey. Thank you Cate!"

  • "Loved my remote somatic session with Cate. Felt in such safe hands. Her compassion, kindness and professional approach and follow up made it all a wonderful healing experience. Thank you Cate 🙏"

    Jodi G.

  • "Absolutely incredible experience. Cate is the perfect person to deliver this type of healing. Making me feel comfortable and held. Very kind and warm. My experience was unlike anything I have experienced, my body giving what felt like massive releases of stored trauma I forgot was there. With cates voice guiding you through it’s an incredible feeling. My session was via zoom. And I cannot imagine how life changing this would be in real life. Thank you Cate, I will be doing this again, and recommending to everyone!"

What is The Aurora Method?

The Aurora Method is a unique approach that combines somatic practices, breath, and energy work to support deep emotional release, nervous system regulation, and reconnection with the body.

Each session is guided by your body in the moment, allowing what’s ready to shift to unfold naturally. Sessions are grounded in trauma-informed principles, creating a safe and supportive space to meet you where you are.

This work is designed to help you move through what feels heavy, release stored patterns, and find more clarity, ease, and connection within yourself.

A note to you…

You weren’t meant to stay stuck in survival mode.

You weren’t meant to spend your days running on empty, disconnected from yourself, or weighed down by old patterns.

You were made for more ease. More clarity. More connection.

And the way we get there?

By listening to the body.

By releasing what’s been carried for too long.

By finding safety inside yourself so change doesn’t feel so overwhelming.

This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about real, lasting shifts that ripple through every part of your life.

If you’re ready to move through the burnout, the stress, the unexplainable heaviness…

If you’re ready to feel lighter, clearer, and more connected to yourself again…

Welcome, this space is for you.

Ever feel trapped by overwhelm, burnout, or just not fitting into your own life?

Discover your protective part… the pattern your system uses to keep you safe under stress. This short quiz helps you see what’s showing up so you can begin to respond with awareness, choice, and compassion.
