About Klaudia

Klaudia is a health psychologist, art therapist and yoga teacher. She was born and raised in Berlin to parents with Polish heritage. For the past 8 years she’s been on a journey of self-discovery, which led her to many places, teachers and art forms discovered around the world, including India, Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and most recently Portugal.

Early life experiences sparked my passion for the connection between mind, body, and spirit and led me to my first yoga class at age 11. That’s when I began to turn inward for answers, sit still in meditation and listen to my body’s needs. Later my curiosity led me to complete a clinical and health psychology M.Sc., art therapy M.A., 200h Yoga Teacher Training, an additional 100 h of Yoga for mental health, and 50h of Yin Yoga Teacher training.

The search for a wholesome life, eventually awakened my creativity, which was an essential part of myself. That’s why I love to inspire others to discover their creativity and find healing through intuitive expression.

I’m here to create spaces for reconnection – with the body, with nature, and with the creative spirit within you.

I love abstract intuitive painting as a form of therapy, pigment foraging to reconnect to ancient crafts, and photography to capture phenomena of nature. Nature’s diversity and abundance is reflected in my art work in many ways, for example through photography and painting with earth and plant pigments. I also feel connected to healing through sound, especially when I’m playing the guitar, the shruti box, Koshi or when chanting Mantras.’
