I’m Hristina - a somatic guide and nervous system educator, working at the intersection of deep inner work and conscious leadership.
With a background in tech and leadership and trauma-informed coaching, I help individuals and leaders reconnect with the wisdom of their bodies to find confidence, clarity and authentic expression.
The Space Within is an online sanctuary for you to remember your wholeness - one breath, one sensation, one truth at a time.
The state of our nervous system shapes how we experience the world - how we feel, how we respond to others and how we relate to ourselves.
Our nervous system is deeply influenced by early life experiences as well as long term exposure to stress and environments that may have felt overwhelming or unsafe. Over time, it can become stuck in certain patterns, losing its natural capacity to return to a regulated, balanced state.
Have you ever felt overwhelmed at work and shut down, even though you wanted to speak up? Or snapped at someone you care about, then wondered why you overreacted? Maybe you’ve found it hard to rest, even when you're exhausted. Perhaps you’ve felt like you're always on edge, waiting for something to go wrong - even when everything seems fine.
These are not personality flaws - they’re nervous system responses. When our system is stuck in survival mode, it shapes how we think, feel and connect, often without us realising it. And this isn’t something we can simply fix through willpower or mindset work because the patterns live in the body, not the the mind.
Through body-based somatic practices, we support the nervous system in gently re-learning regulation - restoring a felt sense of inner safety, presence and choice. This is not about fixing, but about reawakening the body’s natural capacity to come back to balance.
As you build embodied awareness, you’ll grow your capacity to stay present with discomfort, respond with more clarity and navigate life with greater resilience and self-compassion.
A one-to-one, eight-week space to reconnect with yourself from within.
By developing inner awareness and expanding your capacity for presence, you begin to develop self-compassion and confidence, learning to set boundaries and stand up for yourself.
An evolving space of recorded programmes and guided sessions that you can take at your own pace, designed to expand your somatic understanding and nervous system education.
For organisations, teams and individuals ready to lead from within. A variety of individual and group offerings that support authentic leadership rooted in self-awareness, relational intelligence and nervous system understanding.
Just after one session, I gained so many insights into a personal challenge I've been dealing with. Hristina guided me kindly and gently. I've become more aware of my emotional and physical needs and with that I'm able to make better decisions.
I was impressed by your presence, your confidence and your calm voice. It's so healing and regulating.
I was touched by the way you hold space and most of all, your compassion.
Hristina's workshop on somatics made me understand processes my body has gone through and which I wasn't aware of at the time. It taught me concrete practices to regulate my nervous system when everything gets too much.
