My Purpose
Hi there, I am Renata! I am a Body-Centred Therapist and Health coach, and I am here to support you on your journey towards a balanced, healthy and fulfilling life.
My purpose is to guide your healing process by helping you to release trauma and pain, transform any negative beliefs and to build safety and resilience within you. Together we will work towards empowering you to create and live an authentic and harmonious life.
My Passion
My passion for health, wellbeing and healing have always been an important aspect of my life. Since a young age, as a professional sports woman, I have explored and studied how we can cultivate a healthy lifestyle through a holistic approach to physical, mental and emotional wellness.
In 2013, I started to develop a deep curiosity in how our mind and our consciousness work and began practicing insight meditation techniques. My daily practice opened up my own healing to deep held childhood trauma and connected my inquisitive mind with Body Centred Therapy and Bodywork (TRE).
I truly believe that we all have the potential to find ease and reconnect with our own true nature if are willing to work through the old patterns and parts of ourselves that no longer serves us. This journey, though, is a life long journey, and it requires patience, gentleness and care, along with clear intention.
I invite you to join me on this journey, your journey to creating a more balanced and empowered life today.
