ABOUT KATERINA

Katerina is an Integrative Wellness Practitioner and Certified Hypnotherapist. She began her career with a focus on the physical body, which was a natural extension of her role as professional volleyball athlete. She later transferred the physical knowledge she gained on the volleyball court to assist clients as a fitness coach, in NYC. In working with her clients, many of whom had chronic lifestyle diseases such as depression, obesity and diabetes, she realized that medications or fitness alone were not adequately addressing their health issues and that all psycho emotional states had a corresponding physiology pattern. When her clients felt depressed, they breathed and moved a certain way and used specific language patterns. But when they changed their body language, everything else improved, including their mood. Then, she incorporated imagery training and breath work to her fitness method, teaching athletes how to feel confident and unstoppable prior to a game, using mind and body alone.

This dual emphasis on the mind body connection led her to study Hypnotherapy, and other holistic modalities. She is now working closely with a team of excellent health care practitioners, co-creating personalized protocols whereby patients use holistic interventions in coordination with conventional medicine to recover from surgery, manage disease and restore health.

Katerina received her certification in hypnosis from the Center of Integrative Hypnosis, in New York, where she was trained in clinical hypnosis, mind body therapies, coupled with Classical and Ericksonian Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming and Energy Psychology. This dual emphasis on the mind and body connection has enabled her to develop Hypnosomatics, a method that teaches people how to use their body’s natural wisdom to heal, maintain balance, restore homeostasis and break unhealthy habits.

Katerina is a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, Center for Integrative Hypnosis, International College of Psychosomatic Medicine & National Physical Activity Society.
