About Pag-Alala | Embodiment, Breathwork & Cyclical Connection

I am Cat, founder of Pag-Alala and creator of Ka-Activated Breathwork™.

Pag-Alala grew out of a life that changed how I understood being here.

Years ago, I experienced a three-month coma. Some moments divide life into a before and an after, and this was one of mine.

I did not wake with one perfect revelation or a neatly packaged answer. What came afterward was slower.

I began paying attention differently—to my body, intuition, synchronicities I once might have dismissed, my relationship with Source, and the part of me I now know as my Higher Self. I also began listening more closely to the natural world and to the ways life seemed to speak when I became quiet enough to notice.

The questions changed too.

What does it mean to be fully here?
What have we learned to ignore because it cannot always be explained?
What happens when the body becomes part of how we know?

SOME OF THE ROOTS BEGAN MUCH EARLIER

Long before I had language for embodiment or remembrance, I had already experienced moments that would one day shape the way I would hold this work.

When I got my first period in a small town in the Philippines, my grandmother celebrated it. She walked through town telling some of her elderly friends, as though becoming a woman was something to be witnessed rather than hidden.

That memory stayed with me.

It gave me an early experience of the body being met with reverence rather than shame. I did not understand then how deeply that moment would remain with me, or how it would later connect to the work I now hold around embodiment, pleasure, and returning to the body.

THE WORK I HOLD NOW

My work has evolved because I have evolved.

Today, it takes form through embodiment, breath, sound, Higher Self connection, cyclical practice, pleasure, and relationship with Mother Gaia.

I do not believe remembrance belongs to one teacher.

My role is not to tell you who you are.

It is to create conditions where you can listen more deeply to what is already yours.

I am Remembrance Weaver, Filipina, a mother, wife, sister, daughter, and lifelong student of what it means to live in relationship—with the body, with Source, with Mother Gaia, and with the parts of ourselves we were never meant to abandon.

Pag-Alala is the place where I continue to practice that remembering.

And where I invite others to do the same.
