Lene Janaki Jarstein
Trauma coach
With my body-oriented approach to working with trauma, I accompany you on your journey of self-exploration in search for the full embodiment of your authentic self, a deep-felt trust in life, and the capacity for connection to self and others in meaningful interpersonal relationships.

I have always found myself interested in the healing arts, in human development and in
the esoteric aspects of our being. My path has been steadily moving along that road.
I am originally from Norway, but my own journey of healing and self discovery started
for real in a yoga ashram in India in 2003. It was at a time when I was feeling out of place
in myself and my life lacked a sense of meaning. This ashram experience was to change
my life forever. I discovered a journey inwards to myself and I finally found a connection
to my own inner truths that made sense to me.
There I also received my spiritual name: Janaki.
My yoga practice is still a big part of my life. It keeps me healthy, and ever since I started practicing regularly I have not felt the deep hopelessness or the depressive states that I suffered from previously.
I also delved into the western scientific approaches to mind and body, to trauma and trauma healing, and I have gained a deeper understanding of the functions of the brain and the nervous system - the role of our nervous system in trauma, as well as in human connection and relationships.
I am passionately discovering how the mind and body is working in unison and where the eastern philosophy and western science meet to fulfill each other in profound ways - uncovering this wonder of being human!
I have traveled a lot, through Europe and Asia. I have met many cultures and lived many places. I have successfully worked in therapeutic practices both in London and Berlin. Now I am happy to have landed in Brno with my Czech partner.
My passions extend to all sorts of creative and self-expressive activities such as singing, dancing, playing music and theater. I enjoy writing and drawing, and also working in our wonderful garden.
In my work I love to experience how transformation happens in the process and to accompany it with attention and gentleness.
I am deeply touched by being allowed to be present and share in the experience - it is a gift to support the unfolding of your own beauty and authenticity.
