Before breath, before language, before conscious memory, we lived in continuous connection. During gestation, the placenta supported our development — nourishing, regulating and protecting the growing organism within a shared environment.
In this early phase, life unfolds within support. This experience may quietly shape how we later relate to nourishment, trust, connection and autonomy.
At birth, this system changes. The placental connection ends, breathing becomes our own, and regulation gradually shifts toward independence. For some, this transition may have been smooth; for others, more abrupt or incomplete.
Traces of these early experiences may later appear in how we relate to:
– receiving support
– connection and separation
– closeness and independence
– trust, loss and belonging
– our capacity for vitality and aliveness
This seminar offers a gentle, experiential exploration of these early layers through a somatic and biodynamic approach.
We will touch into the placental experience as:
Through simple practices, guided sensing, and relational exercises, we will explore:
– how support may have been experienced
– how connection and separation are held in the body
– how these patterns may echo in present life
– how to meet these layers with more awareness and presence
The work is offered slowly and with care, respecting each person’s pace and capacity. There is no need to revisit overwhelming experiences — the emphasis is on gentle contact, curiosity and embodied awareness.
This seminar is primarily open to therapists and somatic practitioners, and also to anyone interested in exploring early developmental experience in a grounded and experiential way.
It is an invitation to slow down and listen to some of the earliest layers of our system — and to reconnect, in a simple way, with support, presence and aliveness.
I was born in Prague in the 1980s and have been involved in complementary therapeutic approaches since 2011. Craniosacral Biodynamics naturally appealed to me due to my long-standing love of meditation practices and Chinese arts such as Tai Chi, Qigong, and Yiquan. These disciplines taught me a deep connection with the body and paved the way for gentle work with the nervous system and other methods that honor the wisdom and health contained in the human body and life experiences.
Key approaches that inspired me on this journey include somatic experiencing (SE), the Trager approach, nonviolent communication (NVC), and holotropic breathing. The common element of all these methods is listening to the subtle signals of the body and manifestations of health that are present in each of us.
Since 2016, I have been assisting and supervising the teaching of the Craniosacral Approach, where I support students in discovering the depth and subtlety of this field. Today I lead smaller thematic workshops focused on the basics of craniosacral biodynamics and the quality of conscious contact.
Orientation to health and the wisdom of nature is not only a guide on my journey, but also a challenge that I love and am happy to share with others.
