bodywork sessions
certified esalen practitioner listing here.
I offer bodywork sessions from my home studio in Puglia. I can also come to your venue, by appointment. I give Esalen bodywork which is an approach more about working with each other as human beings, with client and practitioner meeting in the present moment, listening, loving and responding to what emerges naturally using presence, awareness, touch and movement. Sessions evolve from the inside out, attuning on a somatic, emotional and spiritual level first then responding from that level. It is a deeply relaxing session that is more like a meditative experience for both client and practitioner. My training is in Esalen, Tula, Ayurvedic (AyurYogic and AyurBalance) massage.
hatha yoga
Katrina offers one-to-one or group Hatha yoga classes to beginners and intermediate level practitioners. She also teaches twice weekly hatha yoga community classes to adults in her local hometown in Salento, Puglia from September to June annually. If you would like to have a private class at your venue, please email for availability. Yoga classes can be in English or Italian.
“Katrina’s yoga sessions allowed me to gently ease my arthritic body back into poses that I had not been able to achieve in months, without over stretching and without pain.
B-J, on two-day-Retreat in Puglia
Katrina’s yoga classes were a fabulous addition to a women’s retreat at our masseria in Puglia. She led us through our poses with calmness and gentleness with an understanding of our different abilities. We were then stretched and chilled ready for our day.

Bodywork is not a massage; it is therapy for the body and therefore works right into your spirit, into your soul & so your well-being. Katrina makes it feel like a shared experience and an art-form. Both during and afterwards, I felt held, protected and a powerful sense of connection to my feelings. She has great strength yet gentleness in how she works through your body in a responsive way intuiting which part to focus attention on. It was for me a unique experience and I would highly recommend Katrina.
~Kate W on Retreat in Umbria
I have never experienced a massage like hers before - it felt as if we were energetically combined as one. She worked through my body and eased and loosened and released my joints with such sensitivity and rhythm that it felt more like a full body meditation and I felt incredible afterwards!
~B-J. R, Reiki Master/Teacher & Healer on a two-day Retreat in Puglia
This is the best session I have ever had, it really got in, your hands were gentle and strong at the same time and you really hit the spot energetically and got right into the centre of my being…
