Meet Cathy Woodyard
Warm, creative, caring — all are words to describe Cathy. Nothing brings her more joy or life than creating — whether that is a retreat, a page in her journal, a painting, or a new recipe. Cathy loves nature and has a strong , lifelong connection to trees (her mother was an Oaks, she is a Wood Yard, and the beauty of changing leaves sends her soul soaring).
