My name is Nina,  I serve as a mentor and somatic therapist, but if I am honest, I prefer simply to be seen as a human being— a person who feels immense joy in deeply connecting with others and helping them unlock their love and their own capacity for healing.

​

I prefer to be perceived and experienced by those I meet, rather than explaining myself in words.
There are many things I could write about myself, but at my core...

​

...I am a person who feels most alive and fulfilled when I am moving, when I tell stories and express myself through my body, when I sit in stillness in nature, when I encounter people who see me, unfiltered, for who I am. I feel joy when I love, laugh, cry, and breathe. I am happiest when I can give and share what moves me—and when people allow me to see them, unmasked, for who they truly are.

​

In last years I have been teaching and supporting the trainings of the Neo Emotional Release Institute. I also host my own retreats, and am part of the Somatic Dance Foundations Training, and support the “Rhythm of Liberation” dance retreats.

​

Most moments of life I live in an incredible state of peacefulness, but I have spent many years in my youth struggling with depression, an eating disorder, and a desire to no longer exist. I lost my mother at an early age and dealt with much of life’s weight on my own from a young age. As a child, I was both open and reserved, quietly navigating my inner world. In the darkest hours of my life, I wanted to tear out the deepest parts of myself and simply dissolve. Yet even in those moments, I carried within me a profound fascination with life and a longing to experience its beauty and depth.

I wished for peace—a life that is gentle and free, where all parts of me are welcome, and where I can live fully. That longing sent me on many journeys, each bringing me closer to myself. The beautiful moments and the less pleasant ones have shaped me and continue to do so, always reminding me to live in my heart and meet life from that place.

I found healing in giving space to everything—whatever form it may take.
Life is filled with constant impressions, and the soul longs for expression.

​

I do this work because it fulfills me, because in every encounter I experience what I feel is God, and because the truth that arises in these spaces heals me as much as it heals others.

I would not be who I am without every person who has crossed my path in this life.

​

Within every gift lies a responsibility—a response.
Do what you love—it is your medicine.

With love,
Nina
