One of the things I absolutely love to do for my clients (especially the younger ones) is to create and record personalised meditations. My meditations take them on imaginative journeys, into fantasy land. I incorporate the things they love, make them feel good and are special to them. I also include sound and use my voice in different ways :-) All of this is then sparkled with a bit of my magic ;-)
The result is a space you can call a sanctuary, a very special place they can let go, begin to feel calmer and better in themselves.
These were created for a 16 year old autistic young lady who suffers greatly with anxiety. I meet my clients where they are. With this young woman we need to go extra gentle. That's what she needs right now.
It was an honour to have the opportunity to support this very special young woman in this way. I had such a great time making them.
If your child suffers from anxiety, is highly sensitive/ on the autism spectrum, has an imaginative mind a meditation like this may help. Do get in touch and have a chat.

How does this speak to you?
“The Invitation” by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive!
It doesn’t interest me what “planets are squaring your moon”.
I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow, if you have been opened
by life’s betrayals -- or, have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to “hide it” or“fade it” or “fix it”.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes! -- without cautioning us to “be careful”, “be realistic”, or to “remember the limitations of being human”.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you’re telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another -- to be true to yourself.
If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.
I want to know if you can be faithful, and therefore be trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty even when it is not pretty every day, and if you can
source your life from God’s presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of a
lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes!”
It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after a night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone -- and do what needs to be done -- for the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you are or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me -- and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or “with whom you have studied”.
I want to know what sustains you -- from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep -- in the empty moments.

From tantrums to tears. From mad to sad.
This is how we truly help our children with their emotions.

Last Calm with Katerina session of 2025 done!
I can't quite believe I've been running my mindfulness, meditation and sound bath sessions for 2 years now!
It's an honour and such pleasure to create and hold this space, this sanctuary for those who are in need of calm, want to explore stillness and are on their path of learning to BE. The space has evolved into, what I can only call, a healing space.
I'm grateful to all who have been and continue to be part of it. Thank you 🙏
I'm taking a break in January and I'll see you back in February. 2026 will be a ride... I can feel it. I wonder what it'll bring for my sessions 😁

What LOVE is your child seeking?
What LOVE were you seeking as a child?

This! Is your child highly sensitive? Your child/teen carry many gifts within them. Parenting from a place of an open heart will guide them to becoming truly wonderful people.

What a gift to see so much beauty this morning.
Witnessing sunrise and sunset every day is so reassuring. No matter what is going on for you and me our planet keeps on revolving. The sun is our constant, something we can trust and rely on showing up every day (isn't that in itself amazing?). The sun rising and setting every morning is a sign of a (divine) order in the chaos the world and our minds can get sucked into.
This morning this sight transformed how I felt about the day. Yesterday turned out to be a challenge and this morning my mind was doing its best to drag me down the same thought pattern as yesterday.
Over the years I've learnt that our minds can be set up that way. Our minds like to follow a pattern, follow the same neural pathway. It may not feel good but it's what we know and is familiar... Therefore we stay there.
However, it is in power to change the way we think. We CAN choose the thoughts we think. We totally do. For some of us it's harder than for others. But all of our minds have a negative bias, that's been our evolution.
When I first realised that my depression was created in my mind by the way my mind works and negative thoughts circling my mind, it was a revelation and a relief. But then the real work started. Mindfulness and meditation have been what's helped me the most in the beginning. That is why I called my venture MindCraft 😁

How clear are the waters of your subconscious mind?

Do you relate?

Is this true for your sensitive/ neurodivergent child?
Just BEING PRESENT with your child is enough 🙏

Parenting is 80% connection, 20% guidance.
We talk a lot about teaching, correcting, and shaping our children…
but none of it lands without connection.
A child doesn’t follow guidance because we’re bigger, louder, or in charge.
They follow it because they feel safe with us. Because the relationship matters to them. Because their nervous system is steady enough in our presence to actually hear what we’re saying.
Connection isn’t the soft alternative to discipline — it’s the foundation that makes discipline meaningful.
When a child feels understood, they’re more open.
When they feel respected, they’re more receptive. When they feel valued, they’re more willing to trust our lead.
That’s why the real work happens before the instruction ever leaves our mouth — in the tone we use, the presence we offer, the relationship we choose to protect.
Because guidance only really sticks when a child feels anchored to the person giving it. ❤️

When I was 7 years old, back in my home country of, then, Czechoslovakia, I attended my first and last art afterschool club for about a year. The teacher was a laid back artist-type who let us take our sheets of paper and paint on the floor, let our imagination flow, whilst he was sat with his feet up behind a desk. I LOVED the feeling of FREEDOM. It was such a JOY and in stark contrast to what I was experiencing at school and other clubs at that time.
I believe that we are all creative beings. CREATIVITY is our innate quality. The creativity I’m talking about is not limited to artistic creativity. For me it’s a way of approaching life from a place of wonder and intrigue. It means using the right side of our brains, where all innovative ideas are born from, to come up with solutions to problems. Children have not, yet, forgotten their own brilliance and I wanted to do something to remind them of that; to nurture and support their own unique CREATIVITY.
Something magical happens when children paint, create and use their imagination.
At that moment they are truly themselves. It is my belief that when children are given the FREEDOM to truly express themselves, to CREATE just the way they want - without interference, without prescribing the correct way, when there is no right or wrong, children start to believe in their own ideas and thus gain confidence in themselves. What better tool for life? Everyone talks about confidence being important in life, about believing in yourself. But how does one develop confidence and a true belief in themselves? The kind of self-confidence that comes from within and isn’t dependent on any external factors.
I also introduce children to another tool for life - mindfulness. Through mindfulness I want to help children connect with themselves, their inner selves and with the world around them. My approach to mindfulness is heart-centred and support children in becoming aware of their own innate kind, caring and compassionate nature; something that is vital for the world that is becoming to unfold before our eyes right now. Children do not need to be taught to be kind, caring and compassionate - all of that is already within them. Mindfulness helps them to find and connect with those qualities inside of them.
In my workshops I create a safe space where all of this can happen. I create space where imagination has no limits, CREATIVITY flows and children can feel truly FREE. The focus on my workshops is on the enJOYment of the creative process and having fun.
I feel very grateful that I stepped outside of my comfort zone and found the courage to set up my workshops. I now have the opportunity to do what I enjoy and work with children to help them start believing in themselves a bit more.
