 Dr. Catherine Anraku Hondorp
D r. Catherine Hondorp is certified at the highest level of Network Spinal Analysis. She continues to attend educational seminars with the founder of NSA and SRI, Dr. Donald Epstein www.donaldepstein.com to keep up to date on the new advances in Network Care. Catherine's fascination with the body began with her love of dance. She followed her passion for movement with a career that spanned 20 years as a professional Modern Dancer and Choreographer in New York City dancing in her own work and that of many other 'downtown' artists. She earned a Masters Degree in Dance from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. Her curiosity for the internal world, 'under the skin' led her to studies in IdeoKinesis, Alexander Technique, Contact Improvisation, Authentic Movement and various other body oriented techniques. Over all, these studies established within her, a kinesthetic foundation of deep trust in the body's innate ability to re-educate and re-pattern itself. Her skills as a teacher of movement stem from many years working with children and adults in classes ranging from creative movement for children to teaching young adults in college settings such as Rutgers University, Queens College, Brooklyn College and working with private clients as a personal fitness coach. A curve in the road of life led her in 1992 to pursue Chiropractic training. She did post-graduate work in Chiropractic Neurology with Dr. Ted Carrick and became a leader in the Sacro-Occipital Technique and Applied Kinesiology Clubs. Dr. Hondorp received her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, Missouri on December 1996. While in her Internship year she discovered Network and attended her first NSA training seminar with Dr. Donald Epstein. His radical approach made absolute sense and inspired her to commit her chiropractic practice to this new wellness approach to healing. Dr. Hondorp began practicing NSA in 1996 and opened her solo practice, The Chiropractic Healing Center of Southern Maine in Saco, Maine in 1998. In 2001, she moved with her family to Massachusetts and opened The Life Center for Network Chiropractic on Main Street in Northampton. Catherine Anraku Hondorp is also Zen Priest with the Village Zendo in New York City and its affiliate group, The Zen Center on Main Street, in Northampton. She is a senior student of Roshi Enkyo O'Hara's, and Buddhist Advisor to students at both Hampshire and Smith Colleges.
