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 technique that brings profound physical and emotional release through conscious, connected breathing.
In a private session, I meet you exactly where you are, guiding the journey at your own pace, online or in person in Ojai, with Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles available on request.
In circle, breathwork becomes a supportive container, a shared field that often deepens what becomes possible. 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.

Coming Home
to Yourself
This work isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you are, beneath the noise, the tension, the stories.
Through breath, movement, and presence, we create space for what’s ready to emerge: more aliveness, more clarity, more you.
In a world that moves ever faster and more digitally, this is a space to slow down and reconnect, with your body, with your wholeness, and with each other, human to human.
Your body holds the map.
