Welcome to Ambrosia
Hello beautiful ray of sunshine! My name is Karolina and I’m so grateful that you felt called to visit my website. I’m extremely excited to share balancing practices with you through Ambrosia - the nectar of life. These practices can help you re-connect with your body, your essence, your inner light, calm the mind and process emotions in a healthy way.
In our daily lives we tend to be so preoccupied with the external world that we forget there is a whole universe within us. That inside world requires our unconditional love and undivided attention, otherwise it gets out of balance.
I work with the body, the breath, the mind, the elements, nature, movement, energies and rituals to restore an inner harmony, and support body’s return to its normal homeostatic state, so it can self-regulate effectively. I provide personalised healing programs to facilitate release of blockages, transmute any negative emotions, invite renewed energy and create more space for love, joy, inspiration and peace.

How can I help?
Our body, just like our planet, is governed by various natural, automatic processes that rely on a stable internal environment. Its balance can get impacted by a number of things (pretty much everything): our external experiences and our emotional response to them, energies of other people, places, food, technology, even the phases of the moon, the alignment of the planets, the weather on Earth and the weather of the cosmos!
Body’s natural processes can therefore get disrupted depending on how well we care for our physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing, especially in times of heightened emotional states and severe weather conditions.
With the right practices, self care rituals and improved mindset this equilibrium can be restored and the negative effects of some elements reversed. Serenity and bliss can not only be achieved but maintained.
I specialise in yoga movement and philosophy, breathwork practices, and theta healing; all of which have helped me re-align, balance my emotions, connect with my intuition and live a healthy, happy life. I can help you take action, go beyond the veil of the everyday struggle, find peace, empowerment and alignment with your goals and desires.

Breath & meditation
Breathwork and meditation
Breathwork and meditation are so very underrated. Breathing is something we do constantly, often without paying any attention to it, but this simple action can be used as a tool to improve your mental and physical health, like reducing stress and anxiety or even symptoms of certain diseases. For majority of us, our unconscious breathing patterns are fast, shallow, high in our chest, however, bringing attention to our breath and mindfully changing it (deepening, speeding up or slowing down) can completely change how we feel.
There are many reported benefits of breathwork and meditation, from reducing stress and anxiety to improving sleep and mood, even easing symptoms of certain physical illnesses. Sitting in stillness and breathing consciously is as important as movement. We should strive to find the balance, that’s what our body craves - action and rest, yin and yang, sun and moon, feminine and masculine. When we meditate - our mind is still, our emotional state is stable, we become more creative, inspired, calm and joyful!
I often combine breathwork and meditation with slow, gentle movement to facilitate a quicker release for the greatest benefit to the body and the mind. Gentle movement, brushing or sweeping can prepare the body for the meditative state whereas the breath can encourage the mind to quieten or activate our pineal gland to trigger the feeling of bliss. This makes the meditating experience more powerful, profound, even ecstatic.
The initial session always starts with a conversation, getting to know you, your state of mind, body and emotions. Each subsequent session format is customised to each person, depending on their need. Sessions are either held in nature (weather dependent) to facilitate the connection to various elements, at your home or mine (Byron Bay) - depending on preference.
Yoga
Yoga
Yoga is not a work out, it’s a work in.
I’ve always loved this quote, it describes what yoga is so perfectly because in addition to making our bodies beautiful, healthy and energised it also sets our mind to rest and quieten, supports our connection to our essence and intuition. It restores our inner balance, helps release stagnant energy or any stored emotions.
Often in high stress situations the unprocessed emotions get stored somewhere in our bodies. According to Chinese medicine, every organ holds a different emotion and if a negative emotion is stored in an organ for too long it starts to malfunction.
Certain asanas or postures by design help release emotions from the organs, hence strong emotions may arise during yoga. There may be resistance, sadness, even anger, that gets released during the practice. And afterwards we often feel light, rejuvenated and relaxed as if we have just shed an extra layer of heavy energy - that’s because we did!
I work with clients individually to create personalised programs, targetting areas of concern, strengthening parts that might be a little neglected and restoring a mind-body-soul connection,

Theta healing
ThetaHealing®
Theta Healing® is a meditation technique that helps you improve your mind, body, and spirit connection by accessing the subconscious mind via a Theta Brainwave - the dream state before deep sleep. It was created by Vianna Stibal to help her recover from an illness.
What we believe, is directly related to how we feel, therefore by reprogramming our subconscious thought patterns to positive ones we can feel better, make better life choices and achieve a lasting transformation. We can release stress, anxiety, grief, heartbreak, even physical illnesses, and in their place create healthy habits and positive emotions, re-shaping our own reality.
The theta brainwave allows theta practitioner to contact your subconscious mind where your experiences, memories, creativity, emotions, beliefs, spiritual connection are stored. Interestingly, the emotions of bliss and internal peace, that operate at certain frequency, can only be felt when theta brainwaves are dominant.
How does it work?
I first use questioning techniques and muscle testing to find any limiting beliefs or negative emotions that may have impacted your life - I’m being intuitively guided to find the root of the problem. I then connect to the energy of all that is (also known as: creation, source, consciousness, higher power, energy of universe, love, creator, God). This meditation gets you into a relaxed Theta Brainwave state, which allows me to speak to your subconscious mind, change the old beliefs, thoughts, emotions and habits and replace them with new, supportive, empowering, nurturing beliefs, thoughts, emotions or habits.
All of this happens only with your permission, you are the one that allows this process to happen. It might need to be repeated a few times until the root of the issue - the old belief, is removed from all bodies and on all levels (basic, genetic, historical and level of the soul)
I personally changed many blocking and restricting beliefs, healed parts of myself that I did not even realise were holding me back and created great loving relationships with myself and others. If this speaks to you or you are curious about ThetaHealing, and that subtle voice is calling you to try it, get in touch!
