I\u2019m a certified trauma-trained nervous system somatic coach, practitioner, and Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY) facilitator.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

My work supports women and femme-bodied people who are tired of surviving, shape-shifting, over-functioning, and abandoning themselves in order to feel safe, loved, worthy, or in control.<\/p>

Through integrative somatic coaching, nervous system education, embodied practices, relational attunement, and body-led exploration, I help people reconnect with their bodies, unwind protective survival patterns, and move toward lives that feel more grounded, authentic, alive, and self-led.<\/p>

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, body-first, and integrative by nature. I do not work from rigid protocols or one-size-fits-all formulas. We follow the SOMA \u2014 the living bodymind \u2014 and work with what is actually present in real time.<\/p>

I believe healing and embodied transforamtion happens through relationship:<\/p>

relationship with the body,<\/p>

with the nervous system,<\/p>

with emotions,<\/p>

with unmet needs,<\/p>

with protective parts,<\/p>

with truth,<\/p>

with choice,<\/p>

and with the deeper self who knows underneath it all.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

I was a highly sensitive child growing up in communist Poland with very young parents who carried their own unresolved trauma from post-war poverty and instability. Much of that pain was never named, yet it lived in our bodies and relationships.<\/p>

Trauma, I\u2019ve learned, isn\u2019t only a single catastrophic event. It can be chronic, relational, systemic, intergenerational. It can look like emotional neglect, not being seen or heard, oppression, migration, and living without safety or voice.<\/p>

After immigrating to New York at age five, frequent school changes, bullying, and cultural displacement deepened that sense of not belonging. Emotions weren\u2019t spoken about in my home, so my body carried what had nowhere else to go.<\/p>

By my teens and early twenties, I was living in survival mode without knowing it. My life became a cycle of intensity, numbness, chaos, longing, and escape. At 23, I hit rock bottom and became homeless.<\/p>

To, co nast\u0105pi\u0142o potem, nie by\u0142o lini\u0105 prost\u0105, lecz spiral\u0105 uzdrawiania.<\/p>

I spent years in recovery spaces, therapy, and addiction treatment, doing profound cognitive and emotional work. It helped me understand myself, but it didn\u2019t yet help my body feel safe.<\/p>

When I relapsed years later, it was my body that ultimately led me home.<\/p>

Yoga, breath, movement, and somatic awareness slowly reintroduced me to sensation, presence, and choice. For the first time, I began to feel grounded and alive.<\/p>

Potem zdiagnozowano u mnie raka tarczycy.<\/p>

That diagnosis cracked something open.<\/p>

It forced me to slow down, listen more deeply, and tend to my body with care rather than force.<\/p>

I began meditating, changed my relationship to food and rest, set boundaries, ended toxic relationships, and recommitted to sobriety.<\/p>

I learned that many of the parts of me I had judged or tried to eliminate were actually protectors shaped by survival.<\/p>

This was when I truly understood that I was never broken but that my body was protecting me.<\/p>

Healing, I discovered, is not linear. It moves in spirals, layers, and seasons. When my body finally felt safe enough, I experienced a profound sense of belonging, self-acceptance, and connection to something larger than myself.<\/p>

When I was declared in remission, I knew my life\u2019s work would live at the intersection of healing, embodiment, spirituality, and nervous system wisdom.<\/p>

I completed my first yoga teacher training in 2018. For a time, I practiced and taught Ashtanga, until I recognized that I was repeating the same patterns I\u2019d learned in trauma: force, self-punishment, perfectionism.<\/p>

During the pandemic, I began receiving care that wasn\u2019t only focused on the mind and past trauma, but on the body where trauma actually lives.<\/p>

I left environments that reinforced harm and began cultivating a gentler, more compassionate, body-led approach.<\/p>

In 2023, I became a Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Facilitator (TCTSY-F) and a certified somatic coach.<\/p>

Today, my work is devoted to creating safe enough, relational spaces \u2014 particularly for women and femme-bodied people \u2014 to reconnect with their bodies, reclaim agency, and remember their intrinsic wisdom.<\/p>

I know from lived experience, and from the nervous systems I have been honoured to guide, that no matter how stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed we feel, transformation and healing is possible.<\/p>

At our own pace.<\/p>

Outside of my professional work, embodiment continues to be my practice.<\/p>

Pole dancing has been a powerful part of shedding internalized misogyny and toxic shame, and reclaiming my birthright of body trust, sensuality, and aliveness in the present moment.<\/p>

I am deeply nourished by nature, creative expression, travel, and community care. I am an artist, a forest walker, a beach lover, and a long-time volunteer with animal shelters.<\/p>

My approach is integrative by nature.<\/p>

I do not work from a single fixed method, because the nervous system does not live in silos.<\/p>

Instead, my work is informed by multiple somatic, psychological, relational, and contemplative fields of understanding.<\/p>

These are not techniques I apply mechanically. They are languages of perception that shape how I listen, track, and respond in real time.<\/p>

Depending on what is present, this work may draw from:<\/p>

\u2022 Somatic Parts Work (IFS-informed) & shadow work<\/p>

\u2022 Polyvagal Theory & nervous system science<\/p>

\u2022 Somatic Experiencing, Hakomi, Inner Relationship Focusing, and Sensorimotor-informed approaches<\/p>

\u2022 Trauma-sensitive yoga and attachment-informed approaches<\/p>

\u2022 Body-Mind Centering & somatic stress release<\/p>

\u2022 Authentic movement, dance-based somatic practices, and expressive embodiment<\/p>

\u2022 mind body coaching techniques<\/p>

\u2022 \u00a0expression through voice, writing, imagery, and movemnt<\/p>

\u2022 Contemporary neurobiology of stress and trauma research and somatic psychology<\/p>

You do not need to know or understand any of these modalities.<\/p>

They simply inform how I perceive, attune, pace, and support your system in the moment.<\/p>

This is not a protocol-based approach.<\/p>

It is an attunement-led, body-first practice that follows the intelligence of the Soma as it unfolds.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Alongside my personal healing journey, I\u2019ve completed professional training in somatic coaching, trauma-sensitive embodiment, nervous system education, parts work, stress physiology, and body-based approaches to trauma integration.<\/p>
