Healing the body, guiding the journey.

I’m Lenka — a Czech therapist working between Prague, the UK and India. I hold space for deep nervous-system healing through Somatic Experiencing and craniosacral therapy, and I guide small groups to authentic Ayurvedic Panchakarma in India — where you don’t have to navigate it alone.

About Lenka

The wisdom of the body, the safety of presence.

Lenka Lorien is a Czech therapist, trauma practitioner and organiser of Ayurvedic retreats whose work centres on the connection between body, mind and emotional wellbeing. Drawing on Somatic Experiencing®, biodynamic craniosacral therapy and holistic healing, she helps people reconnect with their inner resources, regulate their nervous systems, and recover from the effects of stress and trauma.

Her path combines a background in the arts with years of study in therapeutic bodywork and trauma-informed care. She is drawn to the healing potential of presence and touch, and to approaches that support deep, lasting transformation — with compassion, sensitivity and respect for each person’s own process.

Three ways to journey together

One practice, three doorways

Whether you come for relief, for depth, or to train in the work yourself — every path begins with the body.

Trauma & somatic healing

Your nervous system doesn’t need to be talked at.

Somatic Experiencing works with the body’s own intelligence to release trauma that talk therapy can’t reach. Combined with biodynamic craniosacral therapy, sessions meet you gently — restoring a felt sense of safety, regulation and aliveness.

  • Somatic Experiencing® for shock & developmental trauma
  • Biodynamic craniosacral therapy & somatic bodywork
  • Sessions in person (Prague · UK · on travel) and online
