With a background in communication, social impact and storytelling in Indigenous contexts, Catherine Ruddell most enjoys delivering the framework to community members and full teams.

She delivers Cultivating Safe Space from the perspective of a mixed heritage Indigenous woman, entrepreneur and artist, and encourages the addition of guided creative activities as part of full day facilitation engagements. She is also able to hold space for individuals as a Culturally Informed Indigenous Coach.

Catherine is Métis on her mothers side, and her family signed for scrip at Dunvegan, AB. Her settler family members travelled from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Catherine is a citizen of the Metis Nation of BC, as well as a member of the Fort St John Métis Society. She serves as elected Representative for the Métis Women of BC in Region 7 (Northeast).

With gratitude she lives and builds relationships in her home town of Fort St John, on the lands of the Dane Zaa in Treaty 8 Territory.
