Somatic Bodywork & Coaching
Transformative Bodywork
Transformative Bodywork is a hands-on, somatic approach to exploring the patterns held in your body and lived in your daily life. Through touch, breath, movement and guided attention, we begin with what you can feel now — tension, numbness, restlessness, contraction or ease. From there, we explore the protective habits and responses that may be shaping how you relate, choose and move through life.The work is gradual and collaborative. It can help you loosen old cycles and make more space for presence, choice and new ways of responding.
Together we explore how you can
access more of embodied freedom
Sometimes we know a great deal about ourselves, yet still feel disconnected from ourselves or the world, held back, confused or unable to move towards what matters. For example, we may notice tension in our body, exhaustion in emotions, self-doubt in thoughts, or repeated patterns in life — but not yet know how to meet them differently.
In this work, we do not only speak about your experience. We bring attention directly to how you are living it through your body. And where it is possible to become more free already through your whole being, not only your mind's ideas.
A gradually deepened embodiement allows you to connect to more energy, clarity and aliveness that may support you in various areas of your life. This work is not a passively-received massage — it is a collaborative process of noticing together where more of you can be present in your body today.
I work through multiple touch methods, breath, attention and conversation. This work is trauma-informed, as through touching the body's consiousness we inevitably revisit the stories you have experienced. We move carefully and at a pace that respects your current capacity, paying attention to integration.
01
Clarifying your intention
At the beginning of a session, we explore your current situation:- What is important to you at this point in your life?
- Where do your time, energy and attention go?
- What is difficult or taking your energy?
- What do you want more of?
- In which situations do you repeatedly feel stuck?Your starting point may be physical: tension, restricted movement, numbness, difficulty breathing, restlessness, heaviness or feeling disconnected from your body.It may also be a life pattern: people-pleasing, overriding your needs, difficulty taking up space, repeating relationship patterns, or being unable to act on something you deeply want.We don’t assume that a physical symptom has one psychological cause. We explore together how your body, attention, emotions, habits, relationships and daily life may be connected.
02
Bringing attention to your body
Rather than only talking about a challenge, we notice how it is experienced in your body: your breath, posture, movement, tension, numbness, impulses, emotions, or sense of space and boundaries. There is no need to find a hidden explanation. We simply become attentive about what is present.
03
Working through touch and awareness
Through touch, breath and conversation, you learn to heighten your awareness and increase your energy levels. This involves breathing more freely, expanding, relaxing, and quieting the mind.You learn to perceive your unconscious patterns of protection and stagnation through your body and consciously release them. In this way, past experiences can be processed, and the energy that is freed up can be used for your recovery — or simply to provide you with more energy and clarity for your life goals.Upon request, I can also teach you exercises to practice at home.
04
Moving at a manageable pace
Sometimes bodywork brings up emotions, memories, images, or a wish to act or withdraw. Sometimes it simply feels physical or restful. All responses are welcome.We do not force intensity or try to make something happen. I work gradually, strengthening what helps you feel supported and staying within what feels manageable and fitting for you.
05
Connecting the sessions to daily life
Physical patterns can be linked with how you meet everyday situations: holding your breath before speaking, bracing around conflict, overriding your needs, or losing contact with yourself when things become demanding.The aim is not only to feel different during the session. Over time, you may become better able to notice your patterns, communicate boundaries, respond to challenges, and make choices that feel more aligned with you.
06
Reflecting and continue if it feels fitting
We check in with the changes you notice and the pace that may support you.You are welcome to book a single session to see how the work feels. If you are exploring longer-standing patterns, regular sessions can offer more continuity; together, we find a rhythm that fits your situation.The number of sessions varies depending on your goals, your process, and your active participation in it. Many people notice meaningful changes within the first few weeks of regular sessions.As with any collaborative process, the fit matters. You are free to end the process at any time, and I may also suggest alternative support if I feel your needs are outside my current scope of practice.

Hello and
Welcome,
My name is Polina and for the past decade I’ve been studying human potential through bodywork, touch, presence, movement, art, travel and improvisation. With a varied background focused on attention, perception, touch, listening and psychology, I’m offering a holistic approach to somatic work.I identify as an HSP (a highly-sensitive person) and bring this abiity as a skill into my work with clients. Deepened sensitivity to emotions, energy states, subtle shifts in the body and perception allows me to attune and track somatic processes carefully.Working with nature and its forces has been a big part of my life. Elemental work (earth, water, fire, air) is implicit in the way I understand and guide the processes.
My Why
My calling is to support people in expanding into their aliveness and their love for life. I believe that transformation does not need to happen through suffering - alas, it could be a path teaching us true joy.
I wish my work to be a resource for connection - with oneself, others and the nature as a whole.
My Methods
My main modality is Transformative Bodywork, where I interweave subtle sensing, various forms of touch, verbal interaction and guided space for a psychosomatic process. I refer to my background in Thai Massage, trigger points and energy lines to support my work.I speak English, Russian and German.
My Path
Exploring & Meeting Life
I came to this work through years of exploring, experimenting, traveling and meeting various aspects of Life. I’ve been working as a digital designer, travelled nomadically around Europe, Russia and Asia, dared experimenting radically with my lifestyles and paths.In this rich time, I’ve completed various trainings and learned from great teachers. I learned the power of daring to meet life fully. Along that path, what shaped me most were:
Following life radically on a hermitic travel journey thus strengthening my intuition and trust in its flow (Nomadic journey 2023-2025).
Iyengar yoga training in Dharamshala (Sharat Arora center, 2023).
Meditative retreats for weeks / months - both self-organised and in Vipassana centres.
Living and collaborating in numerous permaculture farms and retreat centres, practicing circular-economy principles and sustainable lifecycle designs.
Since 2022 practicing Contact Improvisation and attention through movement.
Participating in various art-redicencies and deep-dive dance & movement workshops (with Kirstie Simson, Dolores Dewhurst-Marks, Sasha Dodo, Anjelika Donyi and many other amazing teachers).
Studying with Movement Artisans in Berlin, to understand axis syllabus principles of moving my body as a dancer in an effective and safe way (June 2024).
Offerring spaces for contact improvisation and taugh classes, attention research in movement, and eco somatic work - in Berlin, Chiang Mai and Russia.
For 5 years learning surfing and the intricate ways of being with the Atlantic Ocean - listening to my body and the intensely powerful elemental environment around me.

Code of Ethics
Warm welcome
My name is Polina and I offer space and guidance for deep embodied processes, supporting you in your transformation journey.This work invites you back into contact with yourself - not as an idea, but as a lived experience in the body.
Through touch, awareness, and attentive presence, we work with what is held beneath the surface: tension, protection, overwhelm, and old patterns that no longer need to shape your life.Over time, space opens for something more true and alive to emerge - clarity, ease, and a more natural way of being. Curious?
With me you learn to
Embody yourself deeper
Sometimes we know a great deal about ourselves, yet still feel disconnected, held back, confused or unable to move towards what matters. For example, we may notice tension in our body, exhaustion in emotions, self-doubt in thoughts, or repeated patterns in life — but not yet know how to meet them differently.
In my work, we do not only speak about your experience. We bring attention directly to how you are living it through your body. And where it is possible to become more free already through your whole being, not only your mind.
A gradually deepened embodiement allows you to connect to more energy, clarity and aliveness that may support you in various areas of your life. This work is not a passively-received massage — it is a collaborative process of noticing together where more of you can be present in your body today.
