Golden Practices
Enter a space of inner connection
and be guided on a journey
of self-exploration through
body-mind practices.
Let yourself be guided into your inner gold. Gift yourself a space to connect at a deeper level and embody a special sense of vitality and wholeness.
These practices are designed to support you in meeting your needs, from releasing tension and improving your wellbeing, to living a life that’s more aligned with your inner values and vision.
I meet you where you are at to create a nurturing space where you can explore yourself — a space where you are allowed to be and connect with what lies within .
“In the body lies the gold,
suspended in a dark matrix,
waiting to be witnessed and cherished;
only then can its fragments coalesce
into a vibrant wholeness.”
– T. Stromsted

Guided Exploration
Card Readings
In this tarot-inspired session, you are invited to discover insights on relevant aspects of your life today through connecting with the cards that you draw from a deck.
The cards you select serve as openings into deeper aspects of your existence. As magical mirrors, they reflect areas of your life that would benefit from more attention and reflection.
We explore the topics that arise together and develop meaningful tools and practices to move forward.
Meditative Journeys
Through breathing methods, guided imagery and mindfulness practices, you are guided into perceiving more nuances of your experience, practicing equanimity, and connecting with your being at a deeper level.
These meditative journeys not only aid in reducing stress, but also train your mind to observe, clear itself, focus, and direct your life in the direction you wish to go.
Explore your mind from within and discover new ways to inhabit yourself.
Embodying Dreams
Drawing inspiration from a dream, a selected topic, or an open mind, we tune into our bodies and explore what arises through playful embodiment of visualizations and metaphors.
We invite the body to move in response to specific imagery and ideas, we source unconscious material and access different layers of our inner lives: physically, psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Navigate the landscape of your imagination with your whole body and a curious mind.
-> Connect with your Inner Pool of Wisdom
Soften your outer layers, look within and come into dialogue with deeper aspects of your being.
-> Delve into Relevant Topics
Identify important fields within you, find more clarity and develop tools to interact with them.
-> Align and Move Towards your Vision
Tune into better resonance with your intentions and envision how to walk your path with more ease, pleasure and direction.

About Kia
I devote my life to exploring body-mind practices. Passionate about these transformative experiences, I have immersed myself in trainings of a diverse range of methods and enjoy synthesizing them into new forms.
From a very early age, my love for theater and dance ignited a lifelong connection with my body as a place of creativity and homecoming. Since childhood, through my teenage years and into young adulthood, I kept discovering new worlds with every new training I undertook. I immersed myself in different practices, including Somatic Movement Techniques (Continuum Movement, Middendorf Breath Experience, Feldenkrais, Body-Mind Centering®), Yoga (Hatha, Vinyasa, Jivamukti, Restorative, Yin, Nidra), Dance (Contemporary, Ballet, Modern, Gaga), Actor Trainings, Shamanic Ceremonies, Hypnosis, Breathwork, Qigong, and Vipassana Meditation, to name the most influential ones.
Professionally, I have been training to facilitate these practices for over a decade. I completed my first training as a dance and movement teacher in 2009, graduated from the department of Theater and Dance at Dickinson College in 2014 and received my Somatic Yoga Teacher Certification from the Somatic Academy Berlin in 2017. In the past years, I have been fortunate to share my passion with others by regularly facilitating self-explorative practices for humans of diverse backgrounds, ages and experience levels.
In addition to my work offering sessions, I have a personal artistic practice exploring nuances of body-mind states by combining different media. My art and body-oriented practices are deeply connected, drawing on insights and creative inputs from each other. You can learn more about my art in www.kiakali.com
Whether guiding individual sessions, studio classes, online trainings, or workshops at festivals or corporate events, I am always humbled by the power of these practices to transform and inspire. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to share these sessions with others, and look forward to continuing this journey of growth and discovery.
