My journey with psyche and soma began in the early 2000s while studying Clinical Psychology at Wroclaw University.It was there that I met my first yoga teacher, and something quietly clicked: the worlds of psychology and embodied practice began to weave together, naturally and inseparably.In 2006, I founded Pracownia, a personal development practice, and started teaching yoga in Wroclaw.What began as a movement soon became a way of living, listening, and understanding the human experience from the inside out.I first trained in Iyengar Yoga, drawn to its clarity and precision, and over time explored many traditions, including Hatha, Scaravelli-inspired Yoga, Sivananda, Yin, Restorative practices, and Ayurveda.My path continued to deepen through somatic approaches such as TRE, Feldenkrais Method, and hands-on bodywork, including Thai Yoga Massage, Myofascial Release, Deep Tissue work, and Craniosacral Therapy.Along the way, I was fortunate to learn from inspiring teachers such as Richard Miller, Donna Farhi, Judith Hanson Lasater, David Frawley, Paul Grilley, Angela Farmer, and others.Rather than committing to one system, I’ve allowed different perspectives to shape my work, trusting that each holds a piece of truth, while the body itself remains the greatest teacher.In 2008, I founded YogaTree at Loudwater Farm in Rickmansworth, creating a space for classes, workshops, and retreats across the UK, Spain, and Greece.Over the years, a beautiful and heartfelt community has grown around this work, something I hold with deep gratitude.In 2016, I returned more fully to psychology through psychosomatic approaches andFocusing is a body-based method developed by Eugene Gendlin. Focusing supports a gentle unfolding of inner knowing, allowing deeper layers of experience, meaning, and clarity to emerge.I offer this work in 1:1 sessions, small groups, and through BFA-accredited Focusing Skills Training for those wishing to learn the method themselves.“Once you come into this literal body here, you find a space much bigger than the body itself. The body is the entrance.” G. Gendlin.This doorway of embodied knowing naturally led me into Systemic Constellations, a powerful approach developed by Bert Hellinger that reveals hidden relational dynamics within families, ancestry, and wider systems.These unseen patterns can both shape our struggles and hold profound resources for healing and change.In 2024, I completed professional training at the Family Constellation Training Institute and continue to learn from respected teachers across the field.At the beginning of 2025, YogaTree became SomaTree.The work had grown, and needed a name that could hold its depth, roots, and expanding branches.SomaTree is a living space for embodied awareness, integration, and transformation, where psychology, somatics, and systemic wisdom meet in the body.
