Somatic Art Therapist and Lecturer,
Family Constellations Facilitator, Reiki Master. Podcast Host. Welcome to a safe space for healing!

My name is Marka, I graduated over 10 years ago and have extensive experience, including giving lectures on the use of photography in mental health. My area of expertise is body-oriented art therapy and photo art therapy, and I also work with family constellations (addressing intergenerational traumas and patterns), shamanic journeys, meditations, and Reiki energy (My Master is Bonita Choi-O’Neil)

To give is a privilege. It means that we are capable, resourceful, and stable. We are able to share because we have plenty. Or do we…?

Most often, helping practitioners overgive and feel shy or ashamed to receive an equal amount of resources in return. But what is hidden behind that overgiving? Have you ever explored it?

We can often see the symptoms of a disrupted balance.
The position of the giver is an important one. But when I stop giving and allow myself to simply receive, a storm of different sensations may arise.
Just breathe into that pause. The pause between giving and taking.

Stay in that pause and observe the opportunity for others to give to you.
Be still.

I’ve been thinking about this, and I see that the autumn equinox — culturally — is a season of harvest. And it feels like a useful metaphor for what I am describing above.

Everything I invite you to do is to observe your body, especially your belly and pelvic area. If it feels full, stone-like, or frozen, perhaps it needs to relax and soften. And when spaciousness comes, we may experience this beautiful sensation: I am ready to receive.

If you recognise yourself in overdoing, overgiving, or in the sense of shyness or shame that prevents you from proudly calling your results “mine”, this is exactly the space for you. A space to experience the embodied sensations and patterns that shape the way you move through life.

I hold the space for you to explore and trust your irrational nature. To move beyond thinking and learn to let go of control.
You may already know that your body is asking for your attention. And perhaps this is one of the most precious forms of loving-kindness: pouring your attention into your constricted muscles and tissues.

You learn yourself. You learn not to suppress or avoid, but to regulate what is happening here and now with Art Therapy.

Harvest Moon: Honoring Your Journey and Receiving Your Harvest.

A special Harvest Moon session designed to honor what we’ve been through this year or over these years, like a long chapter, and to own the harvest.

You don’t need to question whether you deserve it—it’s yours, grown through your efforts, struggles, and tears.

This session combines somatic work with the pelvic area, a shamanic journey, and art therapy practice with arising images, held in a small circle with no recording.

September 26
5pm CET- 8pm CET

The Hidden Link Between Mother and Money: A Family Constellations Insight.

Constellations Cafe with Fernanda 👉

I talk about the deep connection between our relationship with our mother and our relationship with money, using family constellations work.

I explain how money issues often stem from deeper needs for safety, love, and acceptance rooted in our earliest experiences. I share a practical exercise with paper pieces to explore this connection and emphasize the importance of addressing root causes through embodied sensations rather than just intellectual understanding.

Why only right side?

1. I prefer work with symptom and organ. Not speculate in the head, with the book. I ask BODY, not the book.
2. Left vs Right - feminine and masculine. Disbalance. Conflict? Unresolved situation.
3. If your emotions stuck in your body, they are too much for you. Too dark, too scary, heavy, taboo, etc.

Body-oriented work is always about Shadow.
There is no separate “shadow work”.
Just look into your body- there are plenty of that.

Woman can inherits lack of trust to masculine. She can not trust to men and at the same time her Inner Man. In that case she will be exhausted, tired. She can not rest. Endless soldier, who can not delegate. She doesn’t trust. She is in control.

But the womb healing is impossible without masculine side. Not obviously father figure, but masculine in a wide perspective.

Health is in balance between both sides.

And if you have health issues only on the right side of your body - this is necessary to go into that direction. Masculine.

Don't read books, don't think. Ask your body first, ask your pain, symptoms. They give you the key.

Here I teach you how yo use Art Therapy to talk to your body and subconscious ✨

Feminine and Masculine we explore during “Mysteries of the Womb” program. Ask me to join.
