Case Studies
‘Katarina, you showed me a clear path to healing. I wish I had found you sooner. I've seen many therapists and coaches but no one had explained to me how being connected to the body is so crucial for my mental health or that there is a biological reason why I've been feeling so anxious, tired and unhappy in myself, at work and in my relationships.
‘Thank you so much. This has been transformational.’
- Kimberley
‘I went into very stressful meetings this week and I managed to contain the sensations of my emotions before the overwhelm took over, and stay present with what was going on.
‘I've never experienced being in control in this way in my legal profession and life.
‘I just know that this is because of the somatic exercises I've been doing this week and learning to notice my body.’
- Kate
‘I feel a bit less ‘out of it’. I feel less anxious when I wake up in the morning and less depleted in the day. I still feel tired sometimes but I don’t take my tiredness negatively as I used to. I feel more connected with myself and I do have a bit more capacity.
‘One of the self-discoveries I have made is that I don’t need to learn to be different or change myself, I needed to work on removing the clutter and old blocks in the body, rather than changing my thoughts.’
- Lea
‘The practice of feeling my sensations has helped immeasurably in my recovery of energy levels and emotional regulation.
‘To any woman who is thinking about doing this work with Katarina I want to say that if you would like to feel at ease with yourself and with what goes on around you, and you feel that you're worth it, do this work, and all you'll do is reaffirm that you're absolutely worth it, and it'll leave you so much more open and capable and nourished.’
- Amanda
‘I feel miles better than where I was at the beginning... I am less triggered with everything that is happening around me, because there's a lot of stress connected to that. I feel like I don't react all the time anymore. And when I feel anger coming in my body, I just sit with it for a bit and it helps to process it better without going into the story. I don’t feel so exhausted anymore. More resilience, more capacity to just respond to things in slightly different ways... not that the usual previous trigger reactivity that was just instant.’
- Katka
‘Whatever you're going through, literally whatever you're going through, this will help - medical stuff, life stuff, relationship stuff, work stuff, whatever you're struggling with, this will help... It's revelatory, and it's surprisingly easy once you know how... It's so fundamental.’
- Nicola
‘By doing this work, I learnt so much about myself that i never knew about myself at that level... I am able to use that knowledge to bring more clarity to my life, to bring more peace to my life, to bring more joy to my life, and live my life in a way that feels aligned with who I truly am.’
- Michaela
4 Major Signs You're in Need of a Regulation Reset
‘Overwhelm’ is a consistent feeling in your day to day life.
No matter how much you try to organise, delegate or meditate, you can't seem to get out from underneath the feeling of being buried under all you have to do and that you'll never truly be able to learn how to relax or rest. Life feels like the same damn thing after another and you wonder if you'll ever feel ‘caught up’.
‘Body, what body?’
You may recognise you have something connected to your head that’s been carrying you around all these years, but you don’t have a physiological connection and sensory reference for what that means. You feel disconnected, distant, or completely cut off from the experience your body is having, and the aches and pains that seem to be growing more present by the day you either ignore or push through.
You're having trouble identifying and communicating what you need.
You know you don't feel good, but you're not sure what to do about it. You recognize you need a change, but you don't even know where to start. Maybe you've experienced a big shift in your life recently or things have been building up over the years, but you know you don't want to move forward like this.
Even the word ‘boundaries’ makes you feel sick, let alone the thought of setting them.
You know you need boundaries and you're starting to feel resentful of all the time and energy you give to others but have no idea how to put all the information you've read about on Instagram and in self-help books, into action. You know you can't keep operating at this level of over-giving and over-functioning but can't seem to figure out how to stop this runaway train...
Of course, when your nervous system is stuck in chronic survival mode, that permission to hold your boundaries feels elusive and threatening.
Instead of saying no or enough, staying with yourself when disappointing others, you end up locked up in the same loops of over-giving, saying yes when you mean no, appeasing and people pleasing - - and feeling drained, anxious and disconnected.
It's not your fault. And it's not due to a lack of knowledge, either.
It's your nervous system trying to protect you in the best way it knows how.
But it's ready to learn a new strategy, don't you think?
