‘I'm actually astonished at how much I'm getting from this work, because I didn't know what to expect... I really am quite astonished how much better I feel after just four weeks.’
- Amanda, Senior Management Consultant
‘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, Finance Director
‘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, Senior Counsel, London-based law firm
‘Before working with Katarina, I felt like I was constantly overriding my body and then crashing – with stress, heart palpitations, poor sleep, chronic anxiety and overthinking everything, and the feeling that I just had to 'push through'. Through our work together, especially the somatic practices and reflections on my daily capacity, I've started to really listen to my body instead of fighting it.
‘I now understand my nervous system stress responses, and I feel less afraid and anxious when my body speaks through pain or symptoms. I also notice I'm more in the role of the curious observer - which seems to allow me to see and process things emotionally whereas before I would just ignore it and stay shut down, feeling hopelessness and loneliness.
‘Katarina's approach has been both deeply knowledgeable and very human – combining nervous system work in sessions, midlife and hormonal education and guidance, and practical ideas for rest, movement and nourishment that actually fit my life as a professional working single mum.
‘‘Through her gentle guidance, I’ve started to rebalance my life in small, realistic steps instead of swinging between extremes and overwhelming myself - building in rest before I'm completely exhausted, and discovering that I can care for myself without giving up my social life or sense of freedom. I have choices which I didn’t have before, I finally know what it’s like to feel like myself again, and that’s been very healing and liberating. I feel supported, seen, and much more hopeful about this next chapter.’
- Lea, Lawyer in the European Commission
‘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, Senior Management Consultant
‘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, Tech Sales Lead
‘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, Senior Lawyer, London-based law firm
‘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, Marketing Analytics Lead
