Nervous system work, somatic therapy, and integrative nutrition health coaching.
THE REAL STORY BEHIND YOUR SYMPTOMS:
Women today are living inside a silent collapse, buried under a weight of expectations and being all things to everyone just to keep the peace.
It’s not just being exhausted from work or having too much on your plate. Beneath it all, your body is quietly rebelling against a culture that demands too much of you. Your nervous system is strained under pressures it was never meant to carry alone.
You feel it in your body:
Fatigue that rest doesn’t fix
Anxiety that positive thinking doesn’t shift
Chronic pain, digestive issues or autoimmune conditions your doctor can’t explain
Buried in guilt and shame that somehow you are broken
You feel it in your soul:
The tension of saying ‘yes’ when you want to say ‘no’
The longing to put it all down
To finally be seen and cared for, not just endlessly fix others
To stop searching for the next routine, technique or ‘fix’
I see you. I understand how you feel - I have been there.
It’s not your fault. Behind all this is a hidden survival pattern many smart, sensitive and empathetic women live in - the conditioned over-giving, people-pleasing, some form of appeasing to hold it all together and to perform.
Over time, we’ve disconnected from our bodies, our instinct, our anger, grief, and shame - suppression that keeps the body locked in chronic stress and inflammation.
And this is why your symptoms aren’t random. They’re signals from a nervous system stuck in survival. They are the wisdom of your body, your soul calling for your attention - pointing you back toward wholeness — toward the life you’re truly meant to live. More present, more
Hi, I’m Katarina,
I help smart, sensitive and empathetic women in midlife whose anxious drive and hyper-resilience has come at the cost of their health, quality of life and wellbeing.
Together, we trace your symptoms back to their root - working gently with your nervous system’s survival patterns of over-giving, people-pleasing and self-abandonment. Through body-based awareness, instinctive movement, and integrative nutrition, we support your body to restore emotional balance, mental resilience and physical health through nervous system health and healing.
Not to ‘fix’ you (you’re not broken!), but to help you restore healthy flow in your nervous system, build capacity and reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom - so you can stop chasing symptoms and become your own best healer.
What makes my practice different:
Addressing the root causes of chronic stress, not just managing symptoms
Nervous system regulation & body-based practices that don’t require rehashing trauma
Integrative nutrition to eliminate hidden stressors and false anxiety focused on replenishment - without restrictive dieting, punishing fasting routines or harsh cleanses
Cultivating better embodied boundaries and reclaim anger as a natural source of personal power, authentic expression as well as strong and healthy immune system and nervous system.
Restoring your body’s innate healing capacity instead of relying on endless external fixes
I offer somatic therapy, embodiment and integrative nutrition health coaching from a peaceful place in Cirencester in the Cotswolds via one-on-one sessions and group programmes virtually.
‘I’ve been seeing a doctor for ten years for my Hashimoto’s, taking so many supplements and medication and nothing has helped my autoimmunity calm down as the work we have done on discharging stored stress and nervous system regulation…
I am amazed how stuck emotions in my body were causing this. I feel better, I sleep better, I don’t overeat, I don’t feel anxious anymore.’

CLIENT WORDS
‘I could never have imagined how just by bringing my attention to and noticing my body sensations for the first time was already going to bring me shifts in how I felt. It feels like being home and safe in my body for the first time.’
- Michaela
‘We've barely scratched the surface and I am already seeing a huge difference in myself just after two weeks… This feels like a huge cloud is lifting because in the past, despite eating well and exercising, I have found it really hard to shift anxiety and fully recover from burnout.’
