Catarina is a business psychologist, embodiment practitioner and dancer, facilitating deep, body based experiences through breathwork, movement, emotional regulation and reconnection with the body. 

After years of working with high achievers in both Portugal and Germany who appeared successful on paper yet felt burned out and disconnected, she realised something fundamental: the problem was not in their minds, but in their bodies.

Catarina supports people in releasing chronic tension, accessing their inner wisdom and making decisions from a place of clarity rather than anxiety. 

She does not believe in pushing through or optimising oneself into exhaustion. She believes in coming home to the body, where expression and meaningful transformation begins.

Her work is rooted in one core belief: healing happens when we listen to what the body has been trying to communicate all along.

“I created this retreat because I needed it myself. And I know you do too.”

Journaling is a gentle practice of self-inquiry and presence. Through writing, we create space to listen, reflect, and connect with our inner world — allowing clarity, emotion, and intuition to flow onto the page.
