You’re under pressure to optimize schedules and situations at work and home. You feel overwhelmed and notice you “bite your teeth” through the day or have little accidents like dropping the keys or the coffee pot.

 

Your mind is preoccupied with the next thing on the to-do list or replaying past conversations and “should have’s.”

 

And you find yourself exhausted at the end of the day.

 

You know something needs to change, but you don’t know what or how it will fit into your busy schedule.


It doesn’t have to be like this.


You can feel relaxed, satisfied, calm, and still achieve your professional and personal goals.


You can be present in the moment and make conscious choices in your life.


And the answer is actually fun!

When you feel unsatisfied but can’t understand why, the answer will be in the body.


Creative dance allows you to start appreciating your body, connecting to it, and listening to the messages it carries – in the safe haven of your home.


Your body will help you discover what is not aligned, what is missing, what your heart and soul are craving. This may be self-expression, time for your own wishes, space for your own dreams.

Approaching your own body with curiosity about what it can do, will open space for you mentally, psychologically, and also physically.

 

If you’ve been suffering from physical pain or discomfort, unrestricted and unashamed movement will help you to locate the source and move through the solution.

 

You will gain access to your mental and physical core and derive strength, courage, and confidence from there.

 

So you can lead calmer discussions, improve your relationship communication, and make decisions aligned with your mind and heart’s wishes.

One-on-one movement coaching will allow you time and opportunity to...

Relieve tension


in the body to feel revived and regenerated

Ground and reconnect with your energy centre


to better understand who you are: what brings you pleasure, what gives you pain, and how you can outwardly express your authentic self

Develop the practice of listening to your own needs


through the body and feel rather than think about what is going on

Embrace fun and find your own creative flow


to practice fully immersing yourself in the present moment and taking up space in the world

Explore new ways to move your body


to create a more flexible and resilient mindset so that you can better navigate change and open up to new possibilities

The best part of it all is...

recognising your progress.


Developing a bank of your own movement inspiration and practising curiosity to access your body’s wisdom in our classes will help you understand and find ways to give your body what it needs in each moment.


It is satisfying to realize you can facilitate your own change and be the catalyst in claiming the life you want.


Every 4 sessions, we celebrate your progress and commitment to yourself. I am happy to continue to move alongside you until you are confident to make moves on your own!

How it works?

Schedule

The first step is a free 45-minute discovery call to meet and discuss your needs and situation. Then, I will suggest a set of objectives based on our discussion during the discovery call.


Clear and specific objectives will be suggested, such as:

  1. objective 1: reduce pain in the jaw, neck, and shoulders,
  2. objective 2: reduce tension in the whole body,
  3. objective 3: improve breathing and relaxation,
  4. objective 4: regain mobility and access self expression.


Then, we meet online for 4 sessions of 90 minutes weekly or bi-weekly.

At the end of the 4th session, we will go back to each objective and evaluate your progress together. We can then set new goals for the next 4 sessions.


Cost

The first 4 sessions are a package for 485 euros and include movement practices as well as journaling after each session. This is a commitment to a journey of playful self-discovery, personal development, and sustainable fulfillment.


Payment options and continuation can be discussed to suit your needs and goals.

Hi, I'm Katerina!

I’ve felt the restless frustration of being unexpressed, even though I was objectively successful.


To find some balance, I tried many forms of movement, including Yoga, Pilates, and ballet.


But they were unfulfilling for me.


They didn’t suit my personality or character. And I was busy trying to get the pose right, rather than being present in the moment and feeling good.


I found creative dance to be a playful and fun way to self-awareness and development. Movement practises based on exploration activated my curiosity and helped me to focus on what my body can do, instead of what it can’t.


Explorative movement connects us to our playful childhood way of learning in an embodied fashion. It is deep, visceral, and real.


When you have trained this “muscle”, you will find that navigating change becomes easier. You are calmer and more connected to your center. You build on resilience for life, as you approach every challenge with a development-attitude.


Challenge then becomes s a possibility for learning, and a constant practice of evolving to the next version of yourself. Life will bring all kinds of challenges to you, and you will grow into a new person with them.


I believe this is the only work that matters.

The work that will impact your relationship with your parents, your friends, your partner(s), your children.


The work that will re-connect you to your authenticity and encourage a life lived according to your own values.


FAQs

FAQ 1

Do I need to have dance experience to join the creative dance practice?

Absolutely not. If you have a body, you like movement, and you are curious to discover new movement horizons, you are perfectly prepared for creative dance.


FAQ 2

Do I have to perform in front of other people?

No. We dance all together, or in small groups, and each person (or each group) is moving safely and without judgment from the others. If at some point a person wants to exit the practice to become an observer for 1 minute, they can always do so. Anyone can step out for a little and then rejoin. This observation helps understand the creative process in action.


FAQ 3

Are you taking pictures / videos / notes while we dance?

There are no pictures, no videos, and no other material recorded during the creative dance meet-ups. For the 1:1 sessions I might be taking some notes, which are aimed at optimizing the practices for your personal needs.


FAQ 4

Is this practice covered under mental health / physiotherapy expenses by my health care provider?

No, as far as I know. You could ask your healthcare provider to be sure. In the Netherlands it might depend on the additional packages you have on your healthcare agreement.


FAQ 5

Are the prices above with or without tax?

All amounts stated above are including 21% tax as charged in the Netherlands. Invoices to companies are also possible.
