“Korina created a sacred space for like-minded women to connect and share their journeys.
In this nurturing environment, I felt held, heard, and truly inspired. Korina cultivated a container where vulnerability was celebrated, empowering each of us to embrace our unique stories and strengths.
Through shared experiences and genuine connections, we discovered the incredible strength that comes from supporting one another. Together, we transcended barriers and embraced the beauty of collective empowerment. ”

Working with Korina has been like a warm embrace for the soul. Her feminine presence is very soothing, beautifully inspiring, and comforting. Just being in her energy brought a sense of deep healing and peace. Through our somatic work together, I experienced profound inner shifts and energetic changes that made me feel lighter, more open, and connected to myself on a whole new level. This experience has powerfully supported my work as an energetic and transformational coach. Korina's work is a true gift!

ENERGY COACH
Entering Korina’s container called Somatic Toolkit for Coaches was the most amazing decision. And this is not an overrated statement - I used a deeper knowing that this was the right step ahead to unlock some great gifts.
Firstly, Korina holds the space for you amazingly well due to her deeply relaxed state of her own nervous system. She embodies it. It helped me to let go of deeper layers of programming and trauma as I felt safe.
Secondly, I gained more clarity when it comes to Central Nervous System. The simple techniques she gives you are the most valuable treasures for your own toolbox.
She works in a simplistic yet powerful way. Her loving energy helps you to dissolve whatever is present in your field.
After going through this somatic toolkit I feel more aligned and in deeper understanding of the physical body as part of the energetic system as well.
I recommend her work tremendously and I would like to express heartfelt gratitude for Korina’s work, skills, wisdom. She connected the dots and filled in the missing piece of the puzzle tremendously.
The somatic toolkit Korina brought much bigger clarity how energy moves through a client’s body when there is a trauma because she brings her years of experiences into the so called “untangled method” and that one helped me lean into my trust even more.

MIND & BODY COACH
I loved every minute of Korina's A Day of Embodiment retreat. It was the perfect blend of release, joy, reflection, and connection. Korina reminded us how powerful our bodies are, and how much of a difference staying deeply connected to them can make in the way we live. I also felt very well looked after - there was a beautiful lunch, and plenty of time to talk and share. Nothing was rushed or forced, which created a wonderful feeling of ease and trust. I highly recommend her retreats to everyone who wants to reconnect with their body and experience that deeper sense of presence and ease.

Since starting to work with Korina I do feel a profound change as I go about my life. I have a new awareness of my reactions in situations — an ability to connect to parts of my life, where a feeling began, and realise I have some choices. It’s a relief and an empowerment.
I felt that Korina combined great knowledge and a practice which was intuitive, caring and extremely practical. I now have some tools, some clarity, some way of having a conversation with my internal body.
Somehow I’m in touch with and can access my own body’s knowledge. What is happening physically and psychologically is more integrated it is a hugely valuable and an exciting experience.

NATUROPATHIC NUTRITIONIST & HERBALIST
I recently attended Korina’s Embodied day retreat and this was my first experience of somatic movement. I was made to feel very welcome and Korina created a warm and safe environment with a lovely group of women. Korina took us through the day in a sequence of sessions which were in part grounding and calming and in part playful and fun. There was lots of laughter and Korina’s positive energy radiated out to all of us. Each session brought something new and it felt like everyone in the room grew throughout the day.There was so much attention to detail in the day which framed the sessions, a great location, nourishing snacks, lunch and hot drinks as well as thoughtfully put together gift bags. The day was a really wonderful experience and has made a lasting impact on me. I’m already looking forward to the next one!

Korina’s approach is sensitive and insightful. Her understanding and care offers a a calm, inspiring space of trust and reflection. She has a natural warmth and an ability to listen deeply and she’s able to direct the attention to the things that matter. The sessions I had with her were highly motivating, providing a method and structure for focusing with perspective and finding inner connection. She is experienced in somatic work and through these sessions she was able to bring me into a meditative state which felt like a fine tuning of my nervous system.

MIDLIFE CHANGE COACH
“The Embodiment Day Retreat with Korina was a deeply nourishing experience. It offered me a beautiful pause and time to move, soften, and play alongside other women in a way that felt both gentle and powerful.
Korina held the space with such warmth and authenticity. I felt seen and able to reconnect not just with my body, but with a deeper sense of myself.
I left feeling calmer, more open, and more connected to my body, and to my very essence. ” -

THAI MASSAGE THERAPIST
From our very first meeting, Korina helped me evolve my way of thinking. The experience of the course was embodied, honest and filled with love. Korina's honesty and cohesive way of thinking offered guidance to listen to my body and surrender to who I truly am and what I am seeking in my life.
Her method is simple - what a wonderful word - and deeply focused on the individual, although we were in a group. She allowed the time and space to genuinely express ourselves. I absolutely felt held within the group and admired the trust we built together. We built indeed a unique experience as a group.
Thank you Korina for lifting the veil and allowing me to see the bigger picture. And thank you for your understanding and acceptance.

I wasn’t sure what to expect from mentoring, and I was amazed at the positive impact it made, right from our first session. Korina’s questioning and listening is powerful and astute. She really fosters an open and inviting dialogue, her approach is both nurturing and practical. Our sessions covered guided meditation, looking at values and priorities, and talking through how to approach current challenges in work and life. Korina also gave me fun, simple tasks to do between sessions, which meant I could feel real progress and change happening over the course of a month. Mentoring has brought clarity, purpose and lightness, and I really recommend it.

YOGA TEACHER
Korina is very talented in her mentorship and coaching! In 30 minutes of speaking with Korina on the phone, I went from a starting point of feeling confused and frustrated with a business problem I had, to having certainty and a clear plan of action to resolve it. Korina has a lovely and very efficient way of steering self-inquiry through talking and journaling so that clarity comes from within. She's honest in a loving way and really listens. She had some really interesting and thought-provoking questions about mindsets that have helped me to start unpacking the unhelpful ones. After my chat with Korina, what started off as a business problem turned into a stream of new business that same day! Thank you so much Korina for your help - you are truly inspiring and I'm so grateful for your help.

Natasa Galanou
YOGA TEACHER
I started mentoring with Korina many years back without even realising - during a discussion after a break up, I wondered out loud "to whom am I going to give all the love that I hold inside?" and Korina replied "to yourself". I never forgot that. 12 years later, having wrapped up our "proper" mentoring sessions, I realised that our mentoring relationship had started back then.
Whatever goals you would like to achieve through mentoring with Korina, she will not give you ready solutions and answers. Rather, she'll share her light generously and open the path for you to reach your destination. She will be your co-traveller in this journey with absolute understanding and compassion. And when unexpectedly, you realise that you are on your own, she will have led you there, having given you all the tools you need to keep going. Knowing that she'll be there for you if you ever need her!

Korina is such a beautiful soul! Hits you with so much complex knowledge but explains it with patience and in a light and empowering way that you can embody everything she teaches. If you are ready to dive deep into your consciousness, to understand your humanness and start the journey of rewiring your brain I highly recommend her Rebellion of Self-care course and coaching sessions.

CHOREOGRAPHER & PERFORMER
Mentoring with Korina was a blissful process. In simple terms, Korina helps one engage with their inner work and unpack issues from the past, so that they can regain strength and move forwards in a way that is not linear, and thus filled with possibilities.
Thank you Korina, is the least I can say! And to the next wonderful travellers who will trust Korina with their process, wishing you a wonderful journey!

Korina covers the material in the Rebellion of Self-care course with abundant and tangible content.

COMMUNITY DANCE ARTIST
Listening to Korina talk is like giving words to my internal thoughts before I can even notice they're there! The support circle was a great mixture between having her guidance, hearing from other women and sharing my own experiences. After the circle I felt inspired, calm, motivated and able to see one of my current challenges through a different lens.
Thank you so much for facilitating a beautiful circle.
Kind words for my movement teaching

Korina is an amazing teacher and an equally wonderful person. I have been training one to one with her for more than a year now and I am simply amazed by her knowledge of yoga and her dedication towards her students. Her approach to yoga is about understanding her students’ needs and adapting the yoga practice accordingly, which I love. She has a very gentle manner and a calming presence which makes me feel relaxed and encourages me to open up about any issues I feel I want to work on and she always comes up with a perfect solution. I feel so much stronger now and the little aches and pains I had, are slowly disappearing.

I really love the way Korina guides our practice by providing a safe space to explore our bodies and move in a way that feels good for us on any given day. The classes never feel repetitive and I always feel like I get a full body workout. Overall I wholeheartedly recommend Korina’s vinyasa classes to both beginners and to people that seek to deepen their practice as well!

Korina is a really fantastic teacher with a great approach to movement. She is very patient and understanding and has really helped me to connect with my body in a new way. I highly recommend anyone thinking about starting yoga to check out her beginners, it is a great way to ease into things and Korina is very attentive to everyone’s individual needs.

Titania Krimpas
Korina is a wonderful yoga teacher: Clear, kind, friendly, motivating. Her classes are well-planned, varied and organic - and I’m always leaving more ‘in my own body’ than when I arrived. Her background in dance offers a precision and grace to the class which is unique; and the balance between gently pushing yourself forward and relaxation she encourages is priceless.

Lorraine Parry
Korina’s class is the perfect combination of flowing movement, strengthening poses, breathing and relaxation. She’s calm, warm and cheerful, and her gentle manner is very relaxing. Always patient, Korina explains things well and takes students’ physical condition into account, which is perfect for me as I have diastasis recti (abdominal separation) after two pregnancies. She showed me how to amend some poses to avoid discomfort and further injury, and has thoughtfully given me a home exercise plan to strengthen my abdominals. I had been putting off going back to yoga classes because of this condition so I’m very happy that I found Korina. I leave her class feeling stronger, lighter and calmer and ready for whatever the day throws at me!

Korina’s yoga class has been really important to my postnatal fitness and wellbeing. She has created an engaging, supportive space where we can set aside some time for ourselves, stretch, challenge ourselves, relax and have fun. I love attending the classes, and Korina’s kind and respectful attitude is a big part of that. She’s a wonderful yoga teacher: showing us, encouraging us, and letting us go at our own pace. I can see and feel the difference in my body and mind when I’ve been to a class. Highly recommended.

Cezanne Clark
I have been attending Korina’s Strength & Flow class at the Wellness Rooms. What I really enjoy about this class is that you leave feeling very relaxed, but you also had a strong workout. I also enjoy being challenged however Korina is able to give different options during the class, so everyone can push themselves to their own level of fitness, without hurting themselves or feeling disheartened. I would strongly recommend attending Korina’s classes.

Becca Cawley
For me, Korina’s beginners’ course was the perfect way to get back into yoga after a lengthy break. Her explanations are really clear, and she is great at adapting the poses so that they are achievable no matter how strong and flexible you are (or aren’t!). The course is also perfectly progressive, with each week building on the last, and at the end of I had both the confidence and the understanding needed to get back into a regular practice. Highly recommended!

The Beginners course was really enjoyable and gave me a brilliant introduction to yoga. I felt really recharged after every class and learned a lot of beneficial exercises. Korina is a great instructor and I really recommend this course!

Korina is a great teacher for me (pretty much a yoga beginner) and my wife (very much not). She has a really calm, encouraging manner but knows how to put you through your paces too.
Kind words for my Hands on Healing sessions
“When I went to the hands on healing session with Korina, I didn't know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised by the potency of the therapy. Korina is the perfect person - body - spirit to guide you through it and I felt supported and protected, seen and heard.
It was a very empowering embodied experience, that exceeded my expectations.
Thank you so much!

“I had the most wonderful hands on healing experience with Korina, who has such an amazingly calming energy.
She very naturally enables you to drop into a space of healing in a safe and nurturing way.
I felt empowered and comforted by her insights which were highly intuitive.
She is a natural empath and healer.
Thank you so much Korina.
