Meet Katia

I am an Advanced BBTRS Trauma-Informed Practitioner (560+ hours certified) and a certified yoga and pranayama teacher based in NYC where I offer in-person breathwork sessions. BBTRS (Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System) is a trauma-informed, somatic modality designed to help release tension and integrate unprocessed trauma stored in the body.

Six years ago, I was diagnosed with pre-cancerous cells, a moment that forced me to confront just how much I had been repressing emotions I hadn’t even been aware of. This health scare marked the beginning of a journey to understand and navigate these deeply held feelings. I've come to believe that the most challenging aspects of our lives are often the things we are here to master.

About a year later, I encountered BioDynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System (BBTRS) during a training in Mexico, which transformed my life. BBTRS helped me reconnect with my body and build a trusting, loving relationship with myself. Since that first experience, I’ve dedicated myself to studying and practicing BBTRS, and I feel privileged to guide others toward that same sense of connection and aliveness in a safe, supportive way.

We must accept that we never know what will happen next. The uncertainty is part of the adventure, making life exciting, yet it also brings fear and stress. While we can't avoid life's unpredictability, breathwork can change our relationship with this discomfort, helping us be more present and open in the now.

If you ever feel disconnected from your body, stuck in constant "doing" mode, or find yourself repressing emotions like sadness, fear, or anger, I invite you to try Breathwork.

Breathe with me to feel more grounded, alive, and empowered!
