Meet Cate, The Trauma Informed Alchemist, founder of The Aurora Method.
Cate Porter is the founder of Aurora, where she guides individuals toward rediscovering their inner strength through somatic and body-based practices. With a deeply personal understanding of trauma, Cate’s journey has led her to create a supportive space where others can heal and reclaim their true selves.
Her own path began through experiences of anxiety, toxic relationships, and birth trauma. These challenges left her feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, and unsure how to move forward. It was through somatic practices, breathwork, bodywork, and energy healing that Cate began to release what her body had been holding and rebuild a sense of trust and connection within herself. These tools helped her shift old patterns, rediscover her confidence, and reconnect with her deeper self. Now, she shares this work with others, creating a space that feels safe, grounded, and supportive for those navigating their own healing.
My Purpose:
“Deeply dedicated to healing and empowering men and women across the globe, my aim is to create a safe space for individuals to lead a more centred and liberated life. I focus on promoting wholeness and integration, personalised healing experiences, energetic balance, honouring the innate wisdom from your body. This creates a holistic approach to wellness, to bring about life-long change to my clients.”
“Through my own deep inner experience with motherhood, I realised the profound need for healing and support.”
Motherhood has been a defining part of Cate’s journey, revealing just how much support we need during times of change and uncertainty.
After experiencing trauma during her first birth, Cate moved through PTSD and the disempowerment that came from being overlooked by the medical system. This experience led her to seek a different way - one that honoured the body, prioritised safety, and centred her own wisdom.
During her second pregnancy, she chose a supportive birth team and began using bodywork to help release what her body had been holding. Through this, she rebuilt trust in herself and reclaimed her birth story.
This journey became the foundation of Cate’s work. She now supports people navigating life’s many transitions, from relationship changes and burnout to identity shifts, emotional overwhelm, and the often invisible weight of trying to hold it all together. Her sessions offer a space to reconnect with your body, release what has been stored, and return to a place of clarity, strength, and inner trust - so you can move forward with more confidence, resilience, and self-leadership.
“In the darkest storms, we find our deepest strength.”
Through life’s challenges, we often discover our greatest strength. Relationships - whether supportive or destructive - shape us in ways we may not fully understand. It is in these moments of difficulty that we uncover deeper layers of who we are, often finding new resilience, compassion, and inner power.
Cate’s own journey through a toxic, narcissistic relationship was a turning point in her life. After enduring manipulation and emotional abuse, she lost connection with her worth. However, it was within this darkness that she began to rediscover her strength. Through somatic practices and nervous system support, Cate untangled the patterns of co-dependency and began reclaiming her power.
Today, Cate uses the lessons from her own experience to help others heal and step into their own strength. Her path was not linear, but each step has led her to a place of deep resilience. She now helps others navigate their personal journeys, offering guidance, support, and empowerment along the way.
Together, you will uncover the strength and wisdom that already reside within you. She is here to hold you through it all.
