Who I Am

Hi, I’m Renata, a holistic body-centred psychotherapist, insight meditation teacher, and mentor. My work centers on supporting clients and students to find peace, connect deeply with themselves and others, and live more freely and authentically in the world.

My Path to This Work

My quest for healing and answers to life’s deeper questions began at a young age. Growing up in a profoundly unsafe environment left me with unresolved trauma, and I carried a deep longing to understand the human mind, why we do what we do, and how we heal.

This longing drew me into both psychotherapy and the spiritual path, where I explored many spiritual lineages, practices, and therapeutic approaches. Over years of deep personal work and many profound experiences, I came to see the importance of the body as a doorway into both healing and awakening.

Why the Body Matters

The word soma, from the Greek, reflects a wider sense of “body”—not just the physical form, but the whole of our being. In our culture we often identify with thoughts, yet we are so much vaster and more whole than that. Learning to reconnect with the soma allows us to rediscover our inner wisdom and live with greater freedom.

How I Work

When I work with clients and students, I draw from both my lived experience and the somatic modalities I’ve trained in over the years. While my own journey informs the work, I also recognize that each of us has a unique path. My role is to hold space for you to connect with your own unfolding and to embrace your life more fully.

My sessions are spacious and grounded in safety, with the intention of creating a container where you can trust your inner guidance while also gently working through the barriers and conditioning that may hold you back. I see the healing journey not as fixing or removing parts of ourselves, but as a process of integration—of becoming whole again.

Working Together

If you feel called, I welcome you to connect with me to explore how we might work together—through one-to-one sessions, teachings, or creative offerings.
