About Catarina

Lovely to meet you

Catarina, formerly a professional dancer, combines her business psychological knowledge with embodiment techniques to bring a unique perspective to her work. She combines the expressive physicality and emotional depth of dance with the analytical and strategic aspects of business psychology. This symbiosis allows her to help her clients discover and pursue their passions in innovative ways. Her ability to integrate movement and psychology has proven to be a valuable tool in her role as a workshop leader, trainer, coach and project manager. Also, as co-managing director of a nutritional supplement brand @BianVie, she uses these skills to develop unique strategies that require creativity and business understanding.

"I’ve been dancing since the age of three, and this lifelong connection to movement has given me a profound understanding of my body and mind. When I became a business psychologist, I realized that focusing only on the mind wasn’t enough. After years of research in this field, I now fully understand the importance of integrating both body and mind. This led me to explore the emotional layers that shape our behavior, and I discovered how powerful embodiment techniques are in helping clients on a deeper emotional level—far beyond what traditional methods can achieve."

Her empathic and engaging coaching style creates an atmosphere of trust and support that allows her clients to feel free to express themselves.

Cati has an extraordinary ability to help people regain their inner strength and clarity! Through her empathetic and professional manner, she was able to immediately create an atmosphere of trust so that I could open up to her straight away. She helped me to explain complex topics in an understandable way and showed me some practical "tools" that I can use in everyday life to organize my personal thoughts, recognize negative patterns and gain new perspectives! Personally, I can only recommend working with Cati to anyone who is looking for inner clarity and personal growth.

Catarina is really great at getting to the heart of things. She asks the right questions, sometimes stuff you wouldn't even think of, but they really help in sorting out whatever issue you're dealing with. She's super determined to help her clients and really goes the extra mile. All in all, she's an awesome coach – supportive, insightful, and just really good at what she does.
