Meet Rabi'a, Ca.T., C.Nap, PuRR

My Helping Journey

Thank you for taking some time to get to know me.

My journey towards the mental health field started in September of 2019, at the young age of 3 years old, when my human enrolled in her master's program. I spent long nights by her side as she read and studied, wrote papers and participated in group discussions. Being of superior intelligence and ability, I accomplished all of my learning by osmosis, picking up knowledge by laying on her notes, textbooks and even her keyboard. I was quite determined to supersede her in my endeavours to learn and help others.

Realizing the healing power of my purr and the comfort my cuddles brought, I endeavoured to connect with my human, resting on her lap, and at bedtime sleeping on her head. As I did so, I gained insight into her psyche and knew we were destined to do great work together.

"Time spent with cats is never wasted!" -Sigmund Freud

I work with humans to help them awaken to their True Selves through various cuteness and modelling modalities. My sessions are Cat-Centred and utilize Soul Gazing, Mindful Purring, The Art of Napping, Transpersonal Kneading, and the comforting practices of Soft Blanket Suckling and Cat Bed Cocooning. All of my practices stem from the belief that we must live in the present moment, because that truly is all we have!

"I have lived with several zen masters -- all of them cats." -Eckhart Tolle

Though I am fully aware that every individual's experience is unique, I am acutely aware that my cuteness is universal. As such, it is my passion is to empower others to move from a state of discontent with life to a state of thriving through the healing art of zen-catism.
