Catherine is the creator of Rewritten by Catherine and a lived-experience educator focused on kratom, 7-OH, and the newer products continuing to show up around them.

Her perspective comes from her own history with addiction and treatment, what she has witnessed within her family, closely watching the evolution of these products over the last five years, the research she has done, and thousands of conversations with people actively using these products, trying to stop, or trying to help someone they love.

She uses what she has learned from those experiences and conversations to help treatment teams better understand what people may actually be taking, what they are trying to explain, and what can affect whether they open up and stay engaged in care.
