My Purpose

Hi there, I'm Renata! As a holistic body-centred therapist, and I am here to guide you on your journey towards a balanced, harmonious, and fulfilling life. My purpose is to help you restore balance, transform limiting beliefs, and build safety and resilience within. Together, we will work towards empowering you to create and live an authentic, free, and harmonious life.

My expertise

My expertise as a psychosomatic therapist, Hakomi graduate, insight meditation teacher, nutritionist, fitness trainer, and TRE® provider allows me to offer a holistic, integrative and body-centred approach to your well-being.

My passion

I have always been deeply passionate about healing, awakening, and health, and this passion has been a driving force throughout my life. My journey began as a professional sportswoman, where I cultivated a deep understanding of the body and the importance of physical wellbeing. However, my exploration didn't end there. I embarked on a profound healing journey through body-centred therapy and spirituality, dedicating myself to a variety of practices and profound personal experiences that have shaped who I am today and how I work.

This period of deep personal exploration and self-growth, allowed me to delved into the intricate interplay between physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of our being, seeking a comprehensive understanding of the human experience, and how it can be applied to our human journey.

Through my own experiences and studies, I have come to appreciate the interconnectedness of our well-being and the transformative power of embracing a holistic and somatic approach to healing. This deep exploration and integration of knowledge have shaped my perspective and guided my path as a therapist, teacher and guide. I am committed to sharing my insights and supporting others in their journey towards wholeness through using the body as a vehicle for healing and guidance.

I invite you to join me on this transformative journey, where together we will cultivate well-being, insight, and unlock your innate potential.
