About Katcher Guidance

At Katcher Guidance, it's our mission to provide individualized care that empowers clients to define their own successful outcomes and cultivate long-term well-being.

This philosophy is deeply intertwined with Founder Cheryl Milne’s own story. It’s rooted in Cheryl’s professional background in dental surgery, senior care, and hypnotherapy. It’s also based on her own experiences with grief, caregiving, and anxiety.

As a dental assistant, Cheryl supported hundreds of patients through the physical and psychological challenges of dental procedures. Being present during dental implant and related surgery familiarized her both with the multi-step process as well as the need as need for more support with patient anxiety and discomfort.

On the personal side, watching both her mother and mother-in-law look after spouses with dementia gave Cheryl a deep appreciation for both their empathetic compassion and need for self-care. Then, when her best friend Katie was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer’s disease at age 43, she stepped into that same caregiving role.

Cheryl has experienced the benefits of hypnotherapy both for her own journey of life's ups and downs as well as for clients facing a spectrum of health challenges and life changes. Following a client’s massive improvement in the lead-up to and recovery from bilateral knee surgery, Cheryl decided to deepen her focus on the practical application of hypnotherapy for surgical patients.

Katcher Guidance was born from these professional and personal insights, and soon grew into a business recognized community-wide for exceptional and reputable care. These days, Cheryl continues to serve clients in person at New Beginnings Laser Center in Powell River, BC as well as online across Canada and the US.

We’re so happy you’re here.
