Is 'overwhelm' 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. While in a changing body as you've entered midlife and peri-menopause.
You know you can keep going, just not like this.
Join me to learn simple, effective embodiment practices, skills and nervous system regulation tools for slowing down just enough to safely return to your body, turn down the alarm to lower inflammation and anxiety, and feel more grounded, present and regulated.
Why join?
If you've been carrying a lot lately (or for a long time), have been feeling mentally and emotionally overwhelmed (but pushing through it because you are strong and resilient) and you want to reduce the impact that stress has on your body, brain and your health - join us.
I will guide you through simple, effective embodiment practices so you can slow down, and create a little more space and ease in your body and your day.
We will have space for soulful integration, reflections and questions afterwards.
The groups are intentionally small - a maximum of 12 women including myself for an intimate space. They are 45-minute online sessions (via Microsoft Teams), designed to fit easily into your day. Sessions are free - come and see what's possible.
On Overwhelm and Capacity
Overwhelm isn't 'just' a mental experience - it's a nervous system that's at capacity because it's been carrying too much, for too long, with too little support, nourishment or care.
Overwhelm can feel like hyper-arousal: you might be feeling anxious and overthinking, unable to settle or rest, out-of-control emotions, chronic pain, digestive discomfort...
Or it can feel like hypo-arousal: feeling numb from your body and your feelings, helplessness, disconnection, feeling lethargic...
Maybe you're swinging between the two which is often the case for high-achieving, high-functioning women who have a lot on their plate. It’s a sign from the body that your nervous system is trying to discharge the stored stress and when it’s lost it’s natural ability to do so due to prolonged pressure - we can help it so soften and feel safe enough to let go through somatic practice and embodiment tools.
I know how you feel!
It's hard to talk yourself out of overwhelm and into presence because the root of it is in the body, not the mind.
Overwhelm is also a message (like all symptoms) from the body asking for attention. Without having to problem-solve it in the already trapped mind - we can calm it by working with our nervous system. That's what the session will be about.
What becomes possible.
‘What I found really insightful from the session was how using body practices helped me feel more in the present moment and more connected. Katarina is a deeply intuitive embodiment teacher who gently guides you back to yourself.’
- Henrieta
‘I had such a beautiful lunch break session with Katarina. She guided us through simple yet powerful somatic practices with such calm presence and attunement that I felt safe to fully soften and reconnect with my body.
What stayed with me most was how effective the session was without being overwhelming or complicated. Katarina has a natural ability to hold space in a way that feels both supportive and empowering. I left feeling more regulated, clear, and centred, and I could still feel the benefits unfolding for days afterward.
I would wholeheartedly recommend anyone who is looking for a gentle but profound way to regulate their nervous system, especially within the flow of a busy day to join her free sessions.’
- Masha M.
‘The session was great. One thing that stood out for me was how quickly I felt the response in my body through the eye-orientating practice and the sight brain connection. Katarina led us through a couple of practices and in under 30 minutes I could feel the change in my nervous system.’
- Maria Monserrate
‘After the somatic practices that Katarina guided us through in the session, I noticed how things had slowed down for me and my awareness of my body and surroundings felt sharper. I appreciated the value of pausing for a few moments to simply be, because even though I already know how important and helpful rest is, I often prioritise other things on my 'to do' list.
‘Katarina's sessions bridge the gap between knowing what's good for you and actually putting it into action. They offer a gentle, supportive nudge to strengthen the practice of listening to your inner wisdom.’
- Ali
‘What stayed with me from the session is inner calm. Katarina has a very calming voice and manner which is instantly stabilising and relaxing. She understands your overwhelm and most importantly knows how to help you self regulate your nervous system.’
- Lisa
‘ What really surprised me was how being guided to look into the distance and noticing the response in the body looking away from the screen gave my nervous system almost an instant relief. The simple practice Katarina shared were wonderful and I was able to feel more settled.’
- Becky
HI! I'M KATARINA. I'm a certified integrative health coach, embodiment guide and somatic practitioner.
Entering midlife brought one of the most challenging phases of my life — and the most healing. I'd learned to hide my overwhelm so well that it took my body saying ‘no more’ through chronic health issues, for me to realise what was really happening.
I now help women reconnect with their bodies and heal their nervous systems, the same work that transformed my own health and brought me more peace, presence and empowerment than I'd ever known. I've been supporting women this way for over 8 years.
