Mindful movement.
embodied presence.
creative expression.
The name Kenova Somatics was inspired by the colloquial Croatian expression: “Ðe si, Kenova?” Loosely translated, it means something like “What’s new?” or “How are you?” More than a question, it’s an invitation—a brief moment of connection and a gentle way of checking in without pressure. In a world that often asks us to move faster, do more, and push through, Kenova Somatics captures the spirit of this easygoing Eastern European ritual and offers an intentional pause amidst life’s noise. A space to meet and reconnect with ourselves, our bodies, and one another - just as we are.
Rooted in heritage. Inspired by connection. Held in presence.

I am a certified Psychosomatic and Reiki Practitioner, and Yoga Instructor with 14 years of experience in mindful movement and embodiment. Passionate about guiding others on their journey inward, I help clients and students rediscover safety, awareness, and connection to themselves by blending somatic practices, such as breathwork, body scans, and meditation, with intuitive movement. My gentle, trauma-informed approach supports nervous system regulation and healing, inviting clients to slow down, release tension, and build resilience. I create space for a greater sense of presence, ease, and a more compassionate relationship with the body and its sensations and signals through deep attunement to each person’s unique journey.

What to expect
Gently explore the language of your body.
I guide you inward, into the physical sensations of your body—to help you slow down and create space for what’s ready to be felt. Together, we integrate physical sensations with emotional insights to release stored tension, process emotions, and understand your body’s responses to stress or trauma. This work invites you into a more present, compassionate, and connected relationship with yourself.
-
As healing and self-discovery are non-linear, no two sessions are exactly alike. Sessions may incorporate a variety of somatic practices such as meditation, guided breathwork, shaking, body scans, touch, visualizations, mindful movement and present-moment awareness.
-
I approach this work with deep listening, curiosity, and intuition—I trust the body's wisdom and the unfolding process rather than forcing a specific outcome.
-
I create and hold a trauma-informed, non-judgmental container where individuals feel safe, respected, held, and empowered.
-
I meet you exactly as you are. Each session is shaped by what feels most present for you that day, allowing us to follow your experience and choose the practices best suited to support you.
The power of somatic practice
Kenova Somatics creates space to reconnect with your body, where your live story lives, emotions speak through sensation, and deeper awareness begins.
Somatic practice invites you to slow down and return to the felt experience of being alive. Through guided breathwork, meditation, and mindful movement, we explore the body's wisdom as a pathway to presence, safety, and belonging.
When you feel more at home in your physical body, you can move through life with greater clarity, compassion, and connection with yourself, others, and the world around you.
Who this work supports
This work honors the full spectrum of the human experience. Kenova Somatics is an inclusive space where all bodies, histories, identities, genders, orientations, and lived experiences are welcome.
You may be here because you’re:
Navigating anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, stress, burnout, grief, or life transitions.
Seeking a deeper understanding of your patterns, triggers, emotions, and inner landscape.
Looking to reconnect with your body, intuition, and sense of self.
Cultivating greater presence, self-awareness, resilience, and connection.
There is space for every part of you. Come as you are.
LET’S CONNECT
Somatic work often begins with an awareness that something is asking for attention—and a brief self-check-in.
First, ask yourself: How are you, right now?
Whether you have questions, are interested in working together, or simply want to explore whether this work feels like a fit, I'd love to hear what's bringing you here. If you feel called, share a little about what's on your heart and mind, and I'll be in touch within 48 hours.
