Somatic Healing Practitioner | Retreat Facilitator | Horse Assisted Healing I help people reconnect with themselves by relieving emotional and physical pain through a gentle, trauma-informed, body-based approach. My work is rooted in the understanding that the body holds our experiences. By working with the nervous system, fascia, breath, touch, and awareness, I help people release stored stress, trauma, and emotional patterns that may be contributing to chronic pain, tension, fatigue, anxiety, and disconnection from themselves. I specialise in supporting people experiencing: - Chronic and persistent pain - Stress, burnout, and nervous system dysregulation - Emotional pain and trauma - ADHD, highly sensitive people (HSP), and C-PTSD - A longing to reconnect with themselves and their bodies Every session is tailored to the individual and may combine somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, fascia-focused bodywork, Reiki energy healing, therapeutic massage techniques, breathwork, meditation, and horse-assisted healing when available. What I offer - Individual Somatic Healing Sessions - Group or individual Somatic Healing Sessions with Horses - Nervous System Regulation - Therapeutic Bodywork for Pain Relief - Reiki Energy Healing - Breathwork & Guided Meditation - Women's Circles - Group Workshops understanding the body - Retreat Facilitation - Guest Integration & Emotional Support Retreat Experience I have designed and facilitated my own 'Somatic Healing Retreats for Women', creating safe and nurturing spaces where women can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and begin releasing emotional and physical pain held within the body. These retreats combine somatic healing, nervous system regulation, guided meditations, a group healing session with horses, nature immersion, women's circles, and therapeutic bodywork to support deep rest, emotional and physical pain processing and reconnection. Beyond facilitating workshops and healing sessions, I enjoy being present for guests throughout their retreat journey offering emotional support, individual guidance, and helping create an environment where people feel genuinely seen, safe and cared for. My Background My work is deeply personal. After years of living with chronic pain in my wrist, hips, and legs, alongside anxiety, burnout, and emotional trauma, I discovered the profound connection between the body, nervous system, and emotional wellbeing. When conventional approaches couldn't explain or resolve my pain, I found healing through somatic practices, nervous system regulation, and body-based therapies. That journey inspired me to become a Somatic Therapist, Life Coach, Trauma-Informed Practitioner, Reiki Practitioner, Bodyworker and Equine therapist combining these modalities into a gentle, intuitive approach that supports the body's natural capacity to heal. My intention is simple: To help people feel lighter, safer in their bodies and more connected to themselves.

"Katrine's Retreat helped me to be more present, quieten the mind, disconnect from my phone, the news, and just be, surrounded by nature and tranquility. I gained a clear mind and grounding experience, a feeling of resetting in a very nurturing, holistic way. I felt more connected with my mind and body, intuition. I learned about the central nervous system and have practiced so that I can continue in my daily life. I was inspired by Katrine and the other women. I felt connected and supported by the other women. I realized the power of the mind and body connection." Shunny "Highly recommend Katrine as Retreat Faciliator! She and the activities were all wonderful. I was completely overwhelmed, burned out, and drained, living in survival. At the Return to the Body Retreat, I was able to soften into the presence of other women, release emotions, and feel held and relaxed. I feel more like myself again" Alanna "I wanted to partake in this retreat because I felt disconnected from my body and intuition. It was my first experience with somatic practices after doing talk therapy on and off for years. I found it to be a very welcome change from the constant “over-analyzing” I tend to do. Definitely the beginning of a longer journey and very eye-opening! I liked the combination of a structured schedule with free time built around it. The host, Katrine, was very supportive of participating or taking a break and was a very supportive and talented faciliator" Kathrine "While intense at times, Katrine's retreat was an eye opening and rejuvenating experience. It was so comforting to be surrounded by a group of women showing up the way we are without trying to hide our wounds. We are stronger in numbers and with the support of each other - and that was so clear with these incredible ladies. I am grateful for the lasting relationships I intend to have from this experience" Katy "After my horse healing session with Katrine my chronic jaw pain that I've had for more than a year, completely dissapearing" "Katrine is very caring and knowledgeable. She held a very safe space and made it easy for me to trust her. She seemed very attuned to my body, noticing all the shifts and changes and making empathic sounds to encourage me to release. I also liked the way she verbally guided me through some parts of the therapy to help me connect with my breath and my body in order to start unwinding and releasing. I also really appreciated her aftercare and follow up and received some insights from that". Asselle Kazakhstan - Psychologist "It was a comforting, nurturing while intense and deep experience. Therapeutic and grounding. A safe container was created to release emotional blockages being stored and held in my legs. I now have less pain in my hamstrings." Katia, USA Therapist "I highly recommend Katrine. I had several powerful and profound experiences with her sessions and am very grateful that she is part of my healing journey. Through her sessions my pain in my stomach disappeared and the pain in my chest reduced. Katrine has an amazing ability to hold space and with her intuitive way to connect, she always found the perfect way to support my process throughout our sessions. She made me feel safe and seen and empowered me to go deep into my core. With her guidance I was able to connect to old wounds and key moments of my life. I discovered important new insights and found release, relief and clarity. Our sessions are an essential part of my healing journey and a doorway for transformation. I also gained new knowledge about how my nervous system operates and how I can support myself on the path to inner peace. I am truly grateful for Katrine’s wisdom and magic and am sure many other people will benefit from her offerings" Kiki, Germany "Katrine's support IMMEDIATELY relieved my back pain and gave me more flexibility. Even though it wasn't painful, it is one of the most effective treatments I have gotten. I had an emotional release and feel that some old trauma could finally leave my body. I found another way to access my power. It was life altering. Katrine's therapy and her ability to hold a safe space is powerful medicine. Thank you, Katrine 🎉" Mette, Denmark - Therapist "Katrine has very healing hands. Her therapy is a gift to the world" Ken, Germany "Katrine is very knowledgable, attuned to changes and shifts in the body. It is rare to find someone like her that is so soft and gentle, with therapy that is so effective. After the therapy I felt less pain and was less tired". Emilio, Mexico - Massage Therapist "I am deeply grateful for how much you helped me as my nervous system was feeling very dysregulated. I was feeling a lot of pain in my emotional body as well as a lot of confusion. You really helped me to feel safe and whole within my own body and come back to a place of balance and strength. I feel I released some deep emotions and blocks. Your presence was so gentle and supportive and I truly"
