My work is centred around the body, the nervous system, and its inherent capacity for healing and balance.

What if wellness was much less about optimising fitness, perfecting routines, or dieting -- and much more about a return to your body, learning the language of your female nervous system and remembering who you are underneath the stress, the striving and the conditioning?

Hi, I'm Katarina. I am a women’s integrative health coach, somatic practitioner and embodiment guide.

I have always had a reverence for the body and noticed how when my mum was stressed, she would point to the issues in the body that she would feel as a result. She used to say that stress is the worst thing for health. What she meant was that our psychology impacts our physical health - psycho-somatically. I became fascinated by this especially when in my mid-30s I started to notice that I could no longer push through and got really curious about the impact of trauma on our health as adult women.

I also have my own personal trauma healing journey from CPTS (complex post-traumatic stress) that’s been a catalyst for wanting to serve other women through this work.

When I entered integrative health practice over 8 years ago, I realised that what women needed wasn’t another diet, another fitness regime or morning routine. I realised that women’s nervous systems are depleted and that we have never been led back to our bodies. I became fascinated by how our emotions, our identity and our health were embodied - and yet, the majority of big wellness was geared towards mind-based grit, willpower, motivational speak.

I didn’t want to add to this noise and I couldn’t because I could see that it was part of the problem - women given external fixes without ever being guided back to their own bodies and then made wrong for not sticking to it.

When I started studying embodiment and nervous system work - I learnt that all realms of education on things like the body and the nervous system, anatomy, trauma resolution and attachment were based on research on the make body. I find this extraordinary because female nervous system is profoundly different and has different needs.

We cannot treat stress-related health issues without addressing the entirety of the persons nervous system and understanding how female nervous system works.

When I started working with an embodiment coach, there was something profound happening when I was working with my own nervous system. It’s like I was finally coming home by being in my body. It felt safe, grounding and empowering.

Felt sensation is the doorway into our bodies and emotional trauma and conditioned thinking need to be addressed in the body if you are to truly heal, trust yourself and grow. Return to safety to stabilise the nervous system is essential if we want to have capacity for the big (and small) things in life.

I work from the lovely Cotswolds and host small group embodiment sessions weekly online and in-person (schedule coming soon). I offer 1:1 work for women who are ready to go deeper. And I also host quarterly workshops on food, nutrition and cooking for women’s nervous system health, hormonal balance and stronger digestion (coming soon).
