CAT FERRIS - NOVEMBER SPOTLIGHT AWARD WINNER

Wednesday, November 11, 2026 4:35 PM | Elizabeth Mattke (Administrator)

After more than 20 years in insurance and risk management, I made a rather unconventional career change: I became a sexologist!

My own journey of sexual exploration opened the door to profound healing, self-acceptance, and personal growth. I discovered that sexuality isn't just about having better sex. It's about understanding our emotions, advocating for our needs, and learning to feel truly at home in our bodies.

Today, through Amory Wellness, I help individuals and couples navigate intimacy challenges, explore their desires, and release shame. I'm especially passionate about helping women reconnect with themselves.

We spend so much of our lives caring for others while comparing our bodies to who we were twenty years ago or to impossible beauty standards. We're constantly told that if we could just be younger, thinner, or somehow better, then we'd be happier.

But what if we stopped waiting?

That's why I value being part of GAWN: a community of women encouraging one another to grow, embrace our individuality, and pursue fulfilling lives on our own terms.

You don't have to change your body or become someone else to enjoy your life.

Pleasure isn't a luxury. It isn't something you have to earn. Pleasure is your birthright.
