Lenka Lorien Kolárová

Lenka Lorien began her professional life as an artist — she studied fine art and graphic design and worked in that world for years. Creativity has never left her, and she still brings it into every session. But it was the move from visual art to the body that transformed her path. Since 2009, she has been one of Prague’s most experienced holistic therapists, specialising in biodynamic craniosacral therapy and Somatic Experiencing®, the trauma-release method developed by Peter Levine.

Her training is unusually deep. Two years of biodynamic craniosacral study in London. A postgraduate course in working with mothers and babies. A three-year Somatic Experiencing training. Thai therapeutic massage in Chiang Mai. Kundalini yoga teacher training. Drama-therapy techniques she threads into her sessions when a client needs to re-write an old emotional script. She works with clients of every age — newborns carrying birth trauma, adults with chronic pain, people whose bodies hold stories of abuse, dissociation, and long, silent freeze.

Her belief is one she repeats often: that healing rests on three simple foundations — touch, a sense of safety, and being truly heard. It’s a philosophy shaped by years of work at British music festivals as a body therapist, stays in India for her own healing and study, and the deep influence of Ayurveda, meditation, and Tibetan Buddhism. She has even attended teachings by His Holiness the Dalai Lama; she says the compassion and quiet presence of that tradition now anchor her therapeutic room.

What may surprise new clients is the second thread of her work: each year, Lenka guides small groups from the Czech Republic to Goa, India, for authentic two- or three-week Panchakarma cleansing programs, acting as interpreter and cultural bridge. Between cranial sessions in Prague, trauma work with children and adults, Kundalini classes for the nonprofit 3HO, and these annual journeys to the Arabian Sea, she has built a practice that moves fluidly between East and West, body and mind, silence and story — always gently, always on the client’s own terms.
