About Me
& My Work.
As a Feminine Embodiment Coach
Hello Beautiful, I'm Carina
I am an industrial engineer, a certified feminine embodiment coach and a dancer with a passion for helping women remember they are enough & beautiful, helping them remember & express their innate sense of self - their true divine spark. ​​
​​​
​​As a sensitive, I understand the effects that life's experiences, environments & people can have. Good or bad, that's just part of life. Some of this can have lasting traumatic effects or are just major to get past. It can sometimes dictate our lives through the wounds, beliefs or patterns it brought - whether we are aware of it or not. It can hold us back from living a quality of life rich, full of joy & love.
One of flow.
​
Being human means that there will be ups & downs, both big & small bumps & joys in one's life. Like the ocean & its vastness, with the experiences of life like its waves. We cannot control the ocean, stop its waves from coming but we can learn to become in sync with it and ride its waves to our benefit, without our spirit breaking in the process - tumbled in the waves.
​
Allow me to take your hand & be your guide as we embark on a journey to learn to ride these waves, together.
What is the Feminine, What is Embodiment,
How can it help you?
Embodiment and somatics can be used interchangeably. Both referring to our connection with the body & our senses (soma), especially the internal felt sense as a vehicle for healing & transformation.
​
To embody, is to inhabit, to embrace, to be. To embody something is to inhabit its essence whether fully or partly.
​
Our bodies are extremely wise. As humans, inhabiting a body is one of our greatest, overlooked gifts. It is through our body that we are able to experience life. Through our inner and external bodily senses we are able to know what food tastes like, the pleasurable sensation of a comforting blanket, a warm summer breeze, the tingling in our heart from a music cord that hits, the exhilaration of falling in love or skydiving.
All of this, we experience through our body. Without it, we would be mere spirit just observing, not experiencing. Hence the gift of matter that is our body and its soma (senses).
​
Our body is speaking to us all the time, giving you information through your physical sensations, feelings and thoughts. If you have a body, it is the unspoken way you interact and communicate with your environment, but also yourself. Just think of the energy you feel entering a room, the smell that tells you milk has gone off, or the need to use the bathroom.
​
Similarly our bodies can tell us what is true and most resonant for us. Your body is the vessel that is holding your true essence, your inner spark, so who else better to have as a guide?
​
.... ​For us to listen, we must become aware and develop a sensitivity to our body. We require to be present for this to happen and that is where the practice of embodiment comes in..... Read more here​

My Approach
It all starts with creating a safe, non-judgemental container. This allows space for you to connect with your body and to connect with yourself:
​
-
Cultivating the skill of sensitivity & awareness, thereby hearing and understanding the language of your body, understanding her cues, currents & direction.
-
Help you open up safely & at your own pace to what has been suppressed and locked away inside of you. Yearning to be expressed - to be felt, heard, seen & acknowledged. Releasing any charged energy, frozen tension, in the form of emotions, beliefs or sensations.
-
We do this by centering safety, in a trauma-informed manner, without overwhelming your system.
-
Allowing you to transform and move from your current state to what it is you truly desire, while healing as a natural occurrence during the process.
​​
​The aim here is for you to build capacity within, a capacity to be with your emotions, to feel and to manage what you are experiencing through your soma - your body. Allowing you to express in an empowered, confident & loving way. Honoring yourself and life. Empowering you with the skills to ride the waves of life while staying present, true to you and your own unique essence.

Values Embodied in this Space
Authenticity
Fostering authenticity is a value close to my heart, and what I practice in my personal life. Every human has been created with their own divine spark, making them unique. It is this uniqueness that makes you YOU, living this fully and authentically is an honoring of oneself and of creation. No need to be anything else. Come as you are.
Body-Led
Many models of healing work on the basis that the healer, coach, or therapist decide what is wrong with their client. This is not how this space works. We will be working & honoring your body as the source of direction. Your body knows what you need to create the flow in your life that you desire. You are living in your body after all!
​
Vulnerability
Vulnerability is at the heart of this work. An open mind & willingess to be vulnarable to what might arise in our explorations together is key. It will be the doorway to your most magical insights & breakthroughts. Only the brave are truly vulnerable & know themselves fully. ​
​
Safety
As my client, your safety is always my main priority. The moment one is welcomed in a space that feels safe & non-judgemental, our bodies feel more open to experience & release whatever she needs to.
Without a solid sense of safety, one cannot open wholeheartedly to vulnerability.
In this space, we move at a pace that is aligned to your needs.
Compassion
Compassion, Safety & Vulnerability go hand in hand. When we show compassion, we are allowing space for what comes up to be fully seen, with non-judgement or ridicule. Whether it is ‘pretty’ or not, we see it and allow it to be, fully. We allow grace for its presence & at the same time, realizing it is our responsibility to choose a different, more aligned way.
Self-Sovereignity
As a healer & your guide, my role is to create a space conducive for you to reach the outcome you desire. Knowing this, I can walk with you, but I cannot walk for you. As a being, you have the spark of Creation within you, which means you are powerful being. Thus, the choice is always yours to where you want to get to & how. I will hold you in this empowered, sovereign state through grace, compassion & mutual respect.
Carina holds a gentle, focused and deep space - she is incredible at her craft and I always feel such a potent transformation from our sessions. Her cues are always super supportive to meet whatever emerges and I love how she is a combination of intuitive and structured.
​
I particularly appreciate how she goes with the pace of your body and welcomes any emotion that comes up. As an entrepreneur I feel super grateful to have a space to bring and work through the full spectrum experience of running your own business, and be gently guided back to myself, my body and truth.
