ABOUT

Hi, I’m katja, Somatic wizard, Educator & a trickster

Once upon a time… There was a little girl.

A girl who was too weird according to normalcy. A girl who felt deeply and didn’t fit in anywhere. A girl who had undiagnosed autism and ADHD and didn’t have any tools or understanding around it. A girl for whom feeling, holding spaces of tidal resonance always came very naturally. A girl who soon learned that all those things were unsafe to show to the World.

Did you guess it already? That girl was me. 

And so I went on and had a “proper” corporate career for 16 years, working my way up the ladder to managing director and a board member of an international company. In the state of override, fawn, and frozen dissociation. There was a huge mismatch between who I really was and who I was so hard trying to be.

 

Long story short…

About seven years ago, I decided (well, my Body decided for me) to pause and change the conditions, and I went on a journey of expanding into my true Blueprint embodiment. The Blueprint of a healer, feeler, Liminal Spaces guide, Body-whisperer, Soul-retriever, and… a Trickster. 

Seven years of deep, continuous working with mentors, study, and working with hundreds of clients. Multiple certifications in neurology, somatic trauma resolution, breathwork, yoga, somatic movement, bodywork, and nervous system study.

And so here I am on the alchemical path of re-animating of the individual Body for the sake of the great collective Body. The path of unf*cking the F*ckery of this world.

My vocation is a vocation of a trickster

Trickster comes to test the boundaries when our individual and collective systems get too rigid or too comfortable. Trickster shows up in response to dominant views that need to be challenged. Taking something that’s stuck and animating it back to life. 

I can ‘poke’ you exactly where it hurts and hold the right conditions for that thing to shapeshift and metabolize.
I can meet you fully at big threshold moments of your life.
I can offer you guidance through the Death Portals when something in your perspective, identity, or presence needs to die.

Re-awakening the animal body, the instinct, the appetite for what you are really hungry for.

The aliveness revolution

One of my students called this work “The Aliveness Revolution”, because…

Slowing down, widening time, and coming back to our humanity, agency, power, and choice, especially amidst the emergency (external and internal), is revolutionary work.

I mentor experienced practitioners and leaders…  

…in refining their experience, creating and practicing the most potent version of their medicine so they can facilitate change in the World. Because the World needs more practitioners who can feel deeply, anchor and root deeply, and hold space for all the nuance, paradox, intensity, and subtlety of what being a human in the modern world entails. Together, let’s hold very intentional resonant slow anchored spaces, strong enough for any difficulty to show up and to begin to metabolize.

Let’s be in it together!
