Imagine your life if you lived from a place of internal kindness, warmth, acceptance and self-compassion? If you could find center any time you needed? Katya specializes in practical, step-by-step skills guiding one to navigate emotions efficiently while cultivating self-compassion and mind-body connection which are foundations for the overall well-being.

This holistic approach allows to process various emotional states skillfully which helps clients gain greater sovereignty in their everyday life. The modality takes one beyond traditional talk therapy as well as cultivates Mind-Body connection and Self-Compassion which lay the foundation for overall well-being. The best way to understand Somatic is to think of Mind-Based processing VS Body-Based processing. Most us are great at Mind-Based processing, however, it is only half of the picture and we can often get stuck there unable to move through mental spiraling and ruminating. Body-Based processing offers a deeper level of awareness which allows to get unstuck and start moving towards solutions. Having access to both - mind and body - helps to see the full picture and to make the most conscious decisions. This Somatic Psychotherapy teaches you how to access your own internal guidance system and wisdom. Your journey will be completely online and will weave together modalities that cultivate a mind-body connection and build a healthy, kind, and compassionate relationship with the self, both of which encourage thriving in all aspects of life.

Katya specializes in working with individuals who are looking to become skillful navigating various emotions and/or to cultivate a mind-body connection. Based on experience, this approach is not suited for someone who perceives their body as numb or unsafe, which might happen due to intense traumatic history. In such cases this is not the best place to start as this approach might not lead to desired results. Working with a skilled trauma therapist would be the best choice and once the trauma is processed, this could be a great next step. Additionally, this practice is not suited for someone with severe mental health conditions, personality disorders or for someone in a state of crisis for the same reasons.

In online sessions with Katya, you will explore reconnecting to your body through guided meditations and exercises. No prior meditation experience is necessary. Additionally, you will be focusing on building skills for navigating anxiety and emotions from a centered place. You will also set up your own personal practice that will serve as a resource beyond therapy.
