Hello Everyone,
I’m Karen Nitsche · Embodiment Guide, Facilitator & Coach
I design and facilitate transformational journeys weaving together breathwork, embodied movement, dance, and self-inquiry.
My work creates space to slow down, reconnect with yourself and others, explore new ways of relating, and open to meaningful change.
Through one-on-one sessions, group experiences, couples work and team journeys, I guide people into deeper connection with themselves, their bodies, and the world around them.
Based between California and Europe, I work internationally, both online and in person.

Ways to Work Together
01 · Breathwork
Neurodynamic Breathwork™
A self-empowering practice that uses conscious, connected breathing to invite deep physical and emotional release, opening space for greater clarity, connection and aliveness.
In private sessions, I meet you exactly where you are, guiding you through a journey at your own pace, online or in person in Ojai. Sessions in Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles are available upon request.
In circle, breathwork becomes a shared experience — a supportive space where the presence of others can deepen the journey and create a sense of connection. Group sessions last 2 to 2½ hours.

02 · Somatic Movement
Embodied Movement
+ Breathwork
Weaving together somatic practices, qigong, guided movement, self-inquiry, free-form dance and Reset Breathwork, each session invites you to soften, listen inward, release what you’re holding, and reconnect with your natural sense of aliveness.
75 minutes to move, breathe, and reconnect.
Each session includes a short introduction, 30 minutes of embodied movement, 30 minutes of Reset Breathwork with guided meditation, and time for sharing and integration.
Or book a private session for an experience tailored to you.
03 · Contact Beyond Contact
Contact Beyond Contact
The art of relating through movement.
Contact Beyond Contact is a relational conscious dance practice weaving together diverse modalities, including Contact Improvisation, Authentic Movement and Passing Through, alongside qigong, mindfulness, and other somatic and healing practices.
Through individual and partnered explorations, improvisation and shared movement, we create space for authentic expression, deeper human connection, and new ways of relating.
An invitation to move beyond familiar patterns, integrating body, mind, heart and spirit through the transformative power of presence, connection and relational dance.
Open to all levels · No dance experience needed
Private sessions are also available on request for couples, families, friends and teams.

A Space
to Return
This work is an invitation to slow down, listen, and reconnect with what lives beneath the noise, the tension, the expectations.
Through breath, movement, and presence, we make space for what wants to be felt, released, and rediscovered. More aliveness. More clarity. More room to be yourself.
In a world that moves ever faster, this is a space to pause, reconnect with your body, deepen your connection with yourself and meet one another more fully. Human to human.
Your body holds the map.
