“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do.” — Rumi

Cathleen O’Connor is an inspirational speaker, author, life/business coach and entrepreneur with a PhD in Metaphysical Counseling who provides workshops and mentoring services to individuals and organizations.

As a former corporate executive and owner of StoneWater Sanctuary, a holistic wellness center in Westchester County, NY, Cathleen focuses on issues of work-life balance and business entrepreneurship. Through her alter ego as The Balance Whisperer, Cathleen humorously and insightfully blogs about work-life balance and women’s empowerment.

She is the author of two books; Harriet Takes the Wheel, a fable about the work-life balance issue so prevalent in and out of corporate America today and The Everything Law of Attraction Dream Dictionary: An A to Z guide to using your dreams to attract success, prosperity, and love (Adams Media, 2010). In 2011 she co-authored, with 25 other women writers, a best-seller (US, Canada, Germany) with Inspired Living Publishing entitled Embracing Your Authentic Self.

“My passions are writing, speaking, spirituality, business mentoring, and finding new approaches to stress management and life balance. One of my favorite aspects of my work is mentoring other women in business in developing effective techniques in leadership and management that naturally flow from who they are.”

Cathleen also has a CD entitled From Stress to Serenity featuring guided imagery meditations designed to take you through the work day, including a 3-minute “De-stress at the desk” that can be done anytime workplace stress threatens to overwhelm. Cathleen sees private clients out of her home office and lectures and speaks at various venues throughout the United States.
