Our story

Welcome home, sunshine.

​​If you've found your way here, something in you is already reaching toward more — more ease, more meaning, more connection to yourself and the world around you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or disconnected or simply sensing that there's a deeper and more intentional way of living available, you're in the right place.

​

Sunshine Hearted brings longstanding human practices into conversation with contemporary knowledge and modern life — creating a space where spirituality feels grounded and ceremony feels accessible

​​​

Meet Dr. Catherine Moltzen

I know what it's like to feel like you're moving through life a little dimmed — caught in cycles of anxiety, self-doubt, and the quiet exhaustion of not quite feeling like yourself.

​

I explored many different approaches before discovering the practices that became genuinely helpful and sustainable parts of my own life. And what worked wasn't one thing — it was the slow, steady accumulation of practice. Meditation. Movement. Ceremony. Nature. Each one adding a little more light.

​

I'm Dr. Catherine Moltzen, founder of Sunshine Hearted Meditation. I hold a PhD in the behavioural sciences and a degree in psychology, alongside a background in environmental science and complimentary training such as somatic trauma therapy and also Tai Chi. Alongside my qualifications, I bring lived experience, curiosity, and a deep interest in what becomes possible when evidence, embodied practice, nature and spirituality are allowed to sit alongside one another.​

​

My connection to the natural world runs deep, and you'll feel it in everything I do — from sunrise meditations on the beach to seasonal ceremonies that reconnect you to the rhythm of the earth. There is no right way to arrive here. Curious, skeptical, overwhelmed, or quietly hopeful — all of it is welcome.
