With her support, I discovered simple yet essential tools to continue my journey on my own."

What is Guided Conversation & Movement?

Guided Conversation & Movement is a gentle and holistic form of support for those who feel stuck or out of balance — physically, emotionally, or mentally.
Through a combination of conversation and mindful movement, we explore the patterns, tension and experiences that may be held in your body. The process is never rushed; everything happens at your pace, with care and respect for what feels right for you.

Talking helps you find words for what you’re going through — an important step in the healing process. Movement helps your body release what words alone cannot reach. When body and mind begin to communicate again, new space opens for calm, strength and clarity.
​
Each session is unique. Sometimes we simply talk. Other times we combine conversation with soft somatic movements, breathing, or yoga-based practices. Together we listen to what your body needs that day.

You don’t need any experience of yoga or therapy to take part. The sessions are a complement to other forms of treatment — a space where you can reconnect with yourself and gently begin to heal from within.

How Conversation and Movement Work Together

The yoga movements we practice can sometimes act like a form of body-based therapy. What might have felt out of reach in years of traditional therapy can often be experienced through gentle, mindful movement. We uncover layers in the body that have been locked away, often as a way to protect yourself from difficult experiences. Yoga allows us to gently open doors you may never have dared to open before.

​I am here as a supportive guide throughout the process. We always start with a conversation so I can understand what your body and mind need. Sometimes the first session is just talking, other times we combine conversation with movement right from the start. Everything happens at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you.

What Happens in a Session?

Each session is tailored to you. The first meeting may be only conversation, while later sessions might combine conversation with movement, or focus entirely on movement.

Sessions can include:Breathing exercises
  • Gentle somatic movements
  • Yoga sequences adapted to your needs
  • Tools and practices to continue at home

​The focus is always on helping you reconnect with your body, your mind, and your own inner wisdom.

Why I Offer This Service

For many years, I have offered private lessons and met countless people navigating difficult traumas. I was often asked why I didn’t provide guided conversation as a service — now I do.

I have also realized that my strength lies in listening to people where they are, with respect and warmth. I want to offer a safe space where you can meet yourself with guidance and support — no matter where you are on your life journey.
​
To be able to support you even more gently, I have completed Step 1 in trauma-informed yoga and am currently working on Step 2. This has given me a deeper understanding of how trauma settles in the body, and how simple, mindful movements — combined with presence and attentive guidance — can help release it, always at your pace and on your terms.

A Complement to Other Treatments

This guided conversation and movement service is a complement to traditional therapy and medical care. I am not a psychologist or a doctor, but I provide a gentle, holistic support for anyone who wants to work with both body and mind.

You are welcome to participate regardless of whether you have previous experience with therapy or medical treatment. There are no requirements to book a session.

Take the first step in your healing journey — book your first session today. I look forward to meeting you in a safe and respectful environment, supporting you every step of the way — whether you are at your lowest, on your way up, or experiencing a dip.

"The sessions with Marika were exactly what I needed to recover from a difficult period in my life.Marika has a broad and deep knowledge. She helped me listen to myself and tailored each session to what felt right for me at the moment. Some sessions focused more on conversation, others on yoga, and sometimes on somatics.

Marika is attentive and non-judgmental, making it easy to talk about anything — both during the exercises and in general. She gave clear and precise instructions while creating space for me to fully listen to my body and what felt good for it.

In just a few sessions, I gained simple yet meaningful tools that I can continue to practice on my own."
