About Danica

Danica has provided mindfulness, compassion and somatic-based training, therapy and coaching to various target groups since 2017. She provides courses to the public, as well as organisations and athletes/sports teams.

Today, her work encompasses integrative somatic and trauma-informed therapies, walk-and-talk or talk therapy sessions in private practice for older adolescents, the LGBTQI2S+ community, and concerns with anxiety, chronic pain, depression, gender identity, sexuality and trauma.

Danica’s earlier post-graduate work has enabled her to have extensive experience in the dynamic field of coaching, mindfulness and psychology for exercise and sports performance. The initial exposure to academia guided her to deepen her interest in the holism of health and well-being, trauma-informed work, compassion, mindfulness, and somatic work through movement science, psychotherapy, and yoga therapy.

While she founded her pioneer company Six Spac in 2016, solely offering mindfulness training, Danica has deepened and invested her life into dedicating every day to personal practice, training and development with the connection of the mind and body.

Today Soma Circle is a manifestation of Danica‘s work over the years. It is her compassionate and humble intention to contribute to society's better health and well-being by helping people become more in touch with themselves, to experience and understand mind-body integration.

TESTIMONIALS

Danica was this most compassionate being when she first approached me knowing that I was in need of help. She was very professional and knew when participants were facing difficulty with their practice.

“I’ve been unable to sleep through the night (never 6 hours straight) unless I take medication; I would either jump/be startled in the middle of the night or I’d always be dreaming. With mindfulness and meditation, I managed to sleep through the night and I feel a lot more well-rested.
I’ve learned to evaluate myself with more self-care rather than just punishing myself. It helped with my anxiety and “inner voice” that I may hear at times”

“MBSR with Danica has been one of the best decisions that I have made in my life. It has helped me to be more kind to myself, to others and to come to the realization of what matters to you in life. I faced some challenging times before the MBSR and the way I reacted was I wished for the challenging moments to vanish. However now, I know that you can only handle those challenging times in a better manner by accepting them, making peace with some emotions, changing unhelpful thought patterns and mainly, it is my choice on how I make myself feel. The community of people that I practiced together with have been the best and I felt a deeper connection with them than people who I have known for a longer time. Thank you Danica for being amazing!”
