Catherine Hosein
Warrior, Woman, Mother, Wife, Lover of Life, and Breast Cancer Survivor are just a few ways to describe Master Empowerment Coach (in-training), Catherine Hosein. After being diagnosed with breast cancer at the young age of only 29, Catherine said goodbye to a part of her body that gave her confidence, joy, and comfort. Then, after her double mastectomy and losing such a big part of her identity, Catherine experienced a breaking-open process that ultimately changed and expanded her life in the most remarkable ways. Catherine has rediscovered her most authentic, joyful, real Self. Catherine’s message is that we are so much more than our outer beauty, and her passion for empowering other women is palpable. Apart from being our incredible Social & Educational Assistant at The S.W.A.T. Institute and Simply Woman Magazine, Catherine is a proud mama to three great kids, one daughter born after her cancer diagnosis, and a loving wife to her wonderful husband.
