Cathleen King, DPT, earned her doctorate degree in physical therapy from Pacific University in 2003 with post-graduate training in orthopedic manual therapy and specializing in somatic movement and chronic pain/injury conditions.  Her professional training also incorporated principles from Hanna Somatics, The Sarno Method, and other mind-body connection practices.
 
Although educated and trained as a physical therapist, the Primal Trust™ program is not giving physical therapy advice or treatment. It instead brings wellness and lifestyle education and practices while utilizing King’s knowledge as a physical therapist to weave scientific principles into her approach.
 
King’s personal continuing education has focused primarily on neuroplasticity-based healing methods, neurophysiology of trauma and attachment, emotional regulation practices, mindfulness training, and breathwork.  
 
Certified in the PSYCH-K technique, King incorporates principles into Primal Trust wellness and lifestyle coaching from programs and practices such as the Lightning Process, DNRS, Gupta Program, Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work, The Polyvagal Theory, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), HeartMath, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Germanic Healing Knowledge, MAP Recode, Magnetic Mind Method, and Matrix Energetics.
