We combine psychology, coaching, nervous system awareness, mindfulness, and somatic practices to create safe conditions for real, lasting change — change that does not come from pressure, but from a deeper understanding of oneself.
Below, you can get to know us better and learn what we each bring into this space.
Amanda
COACH | EDUCATOR | FACILITATOR | GUIDE
Hi, my name is Amanda. I create spaces where the body can slow down, feel safe, and where you can hear yourself again. Everyone is welcomed here with gentleness — without pressure to be anything other than who they are.
Facilitator of:
Women's Circles
A circle for women that creates a safe space for sharing, emotional regulation, and building a deeper connection with yourself and with other women.
Pelvic Awareness
Sessions based on mindful work with the body, breath, and the nervous system, supporting the restoration of sensation, balance, and a sense of safety in the pelvic floor area.
Coaching
I offers a gentle, relational coaching approach that supports emotional regulation, embodiment, and a deeper connection to oneself through presence, safety, and attuned guidance.
In today’s world, we’re sold a “normal” way to live.
How to look, work, feel, and what to want, even how to spend our time and money, in a world designed to constantly pull at our attention, distract us from ourselves, and quiet our inner knowing.
We are told what to strive for.
To be successful, attractive, productive, and emotionally together.
To manage life quietly and not fall apart in public.
But most of us are not put together.
We are messy, feeling humans and that is not a flaw. It is life.
We are meant to change, adapt, and evolve as we go.
Not shame our past selves for doing the best they could with the tools, awareness, and safety they had at the time.
I believe this is not a personal failure.
It is a sign that something needs to change.
If I am honest, I always knew the “normal” way was not for me. Even as a child.
There is a photo of me wearing an oversized T-shirt that says Dare to Be Different. Somewhere along the way, that part of me got quieter. For years, being nice, smiling, and putting others first felt safer than listening to my own needs. Over time, that turned into people-pleasing, control, and deep self-criticism.
But that inner voice never disappeared. It was patient. Waiting for me to listen again.
My work today is deeply connected to that remembering.
This work is as much about remembering as it is about changing.
Why Work With Me
I work with women who sense that they are living parts of their life from fear that is not even theirs. Women who already know what is right for them, but have learned to doubt themselves, override their inner no, and look outside for permission, reassurance, or validation.
Many have learned to be the good one. The nice one. The one who holds it all together. The one who manages everyone else so she can feel safe.
Being around me often feels like relief.
Like finally being allowed to stop performing.
Like discovering that it is safe to say no.
Like realising you can choose yourself without becoming hard or selfish.
People often describe working with me as a breath of fresh air. Sometimes that feels freeing. Sometimes it feels uncomfortable or activating, especially if you are used to people-pleasing. Both are welcome.
I hold steady so women can feel what they feel. Being witnessed, without being fixed, rushed, or talked out of your truth, is essential for real and lasting change.
My Mission / The What
My mission is to support women in coming back into relationship with themselves.
I do this by cultivating awareness, wisdom, and connection as tools of transformation. From this place, women learn to listen inward, trust their intuition, and build lives that honour who they are rather than who they were told to be.
A core part of my work is helping women understand themselves more deeply through their bodies and cycles. This includes learning about the menstrual cycle, the transitions of perimenopause and menopause, and the intuitive, cyclical nature of being a woman. Not as something to fix or optimise, but as a source of wisdom, rhythm, and guidance for everyday life.
My Approach / The How
At the heart of my work is coaching as a collaborative, respectful space for exploration and reflection.
My approach is:
- Evidence-based, drawing from Applied Positive Psychology, Coaching Psychology, Neuroscience, Somatics, Trauma and Nervous System Science, and Positive Intelligence
- Strength-based and solution-focused, with you always seen as the expert of your own life
- Human, intuitive, and grounded, where science meets intuition through a balance of mind, body, heart, and inner knowing
I do not believe in fast transformations or rigid formulas. The change I support is step by step, slow, and intentional. It is the kind of change that teaches you how to pause, listen, set boundaries, say no without hardening, and choose yourself with less guilt. This kind of change lasts because it is rooted in safety and self-trust.
I will never push you toward something that does not feel aligned. I protect the spaces I hold from ego-driven dynamics, performative growth, and a lack of respect. Psychological safety, to me, means allowing women to be honest and human while staying grounded in care, responsibility, and compassion for themselves and others.
My Purpose / The Why
I believe every woman deserves a life that is consciously chosen and aligned with her values.
A life where she can use her natural gifts, live authentically, and experience the full range of being human. Presence. Gratitude. Playfulness. Depth. Emotion. Learning.
I also believe that learning to love yourself often begins with learning to stop abandoning yourself. With saying no. With disappointing others. With accepting that you are not everyone’s cup of tea.
Belonging starts within, and it grows through safe relationships where you are allowed to be both soft and strong.
My Story
I have been coaching in the UK, Canada, and Poland since 2020. I hold an MSc in Applied Positive Psychology and Coaching Psychology from the University of East London and I am accredited by EMCC Global. I am also a Certified Yoga Teacher.
Growing up in Canada and later returning to the land of my ancestors in Poland, after living, working, and volunteering in over 46 countries, gave me a lived understanding of starting over. The excitement. The loneliness. The identity shifts. The resilience it takes to adapt and belong again.
I am deeply sensitive by nature. For a long time, I hid that part of myself, afraid it made me weak. Today, it is one of my greatest strengths.
I am also learning to live with polarity. My softness and my capacity to initiate change. My care and my ability to challenge. My desire for harmony and my willingness to speak truth when it matters. This balance shapes how I hold space and guide others.
I am still learning how to regulate, how to release control, and how to lean on others. Letting go of hyper-independence and allowing myself to be known, supported, and loved, especially in my relationship with my partner Bartek, has changed the way I understand safety.
Self-awareness and emotional regulation are practices, not destinations.
A good day for me starts with a really good cup of coffee, nourishing food, and unhurried time. It includes deep conversation, reading something that expands my thinking, time in nature, and moments where I get to simply be myself.
Aware Space & Women’s Circles
I am the co-founder of Aware Space in Gdynia, Kamienna Góra. A bilingual community space opening January 2026, created as a physical home for presence, embodiment, and conscious belonging.
Aware Space was born from a desire to create something slower, more human, and more relational. A place where women can arrive as they are, practice honesty, set boundaries, rest, move, and reconnect with themselves without pressure to perform or heal quickly.
Here, I hold women’s circles, rituals, courses, coaching, yoga, and intuitive movement practices. These spaces are designed for connection, self-awareness, embodiment, and being witnessed in a safe and respectful way.
I have been holding community women’s circles in Tricity since May 2025 and I am also building a Facebook Group called HerSpace Tricity, for women who want to slow down, stop people-pleasing, and come home to themselves.
Who This Is For
This work is for women who are willing to meet themselves honestly. Women who are curious, open, and ready to explore new ways of thinking, living, and relating.
It is also for women who are longing to be around like-minded women. Women who value depth, honesty, presence, and community. Women who want to grow alongside others rather than doing everything alone.
Women who are tired of being the good one, the nice one, the one holding it all together, and are ready to choose themselves with care rather than guilt.
An Invitation
If you want to feel seen, heard, safe, hopeful, and gently empowered to be yourself, and to be part of a conscious, supportive community, you are very welcome here.
You do not have to do this alone.
You belong here.
Bartek
SELF-LEADERSHIP & RELATIONSHIP COACH | SAFE SPACE FACILITATOR
Hi, my name is Bartek and I specialize in personal development as well as body-based and breathwork practices.
Facilitator of:
Men's Space
Men’s space offers a safe, grounded environment for men to slow down, speak honestly, be heard, seen, and reconnect with their inner strength, integrity, and authentic presence.
Breathwork
Sessions based on conscious breathwork and nervous system regulation that support emotional regulation, reduce tension, and help restore inner calm.
Qigong
A practice of gentle movement and mindfulness that harmonizes body and mind, supports the flow of energy, and helps build stability, presence, and resilience to stress.
About me
Life is not happening to us, but for us.
Many things in life occur beyond our control. What is within our control is how we relate to them. Most of us react automatically, shaped by past experiences, conditioning, and survival patterns.
Self-awareness gives us choice.
Choice gives us freedom.
Many of us grow up learning how to function rather than how to feel.
We learn how to stay composed, useful, adaptable, how to manage ourselves in environments that reward control more than honesty.
These patterns are not mistakes.
They are intelligent responses to the worlds we grew up in.
At some point, however, what once kept us safe can begin to feel limiting. Life starts to feel repetitive, heavy, or strangely distant from who we sense ourselves to be. Not because something is wrong, but because the parts of us that learned to cope are still in charge.
We are not meant to live in constant regulation or self-control.
We are living inner systems, shaped by relationships, experiences, and survival strategies that once made sense.
When someone comes to me feeling stuck or disconnected, I do not see failure.
I see an inner system that adapted early and now needs understanding, safety, and a different kind of leadership.
My Story
I was a sensitive child, raised by a disabled yet deeply loving mother, in a small two-bedroom flat in Poland, shared with many animals. From early on, I felt deeply and noticed things others seemed to overlook. I also learned quickly that being different often comes with a cost.
Being bullied and judged throughout childhood, parts of me learned to hide, to adapt, and to stay alert. Over time, these strategies helped me survive, but they also pulled me away from my authentic Self. Depression was not something that happened to me. It was something inside me asking to be listened to.
For many years, I tried to change myself from the outside. Eventually, my path shifted inward.
Through lived experience and almost 10 years of study in psychology, trauma, coaching, breathwork, nervous-system regulation, and IFS psychotherapy, I learned how to meet my inner world with curiosity instead of control. What changed my life was not fixing my parts, but learning to relate to them.
Bart Holistic Coach
Since 2023, I have been sharing educational content online under the name Bart Holistic Coach, reaching thousands of people through short-form videos on psychology, trauma, nervous system awareness, relationships, and addiction, helping them better understand themselves, their coping mechanisms, and how they relate to others, alongside offering online coaching.
Why Work With Me
I work with people, often men, who sense that they are living parts of their life on autopilot. People who function, provide, perform, or cope, yet feel disconnected, tense, lonely, or quietly unfulfilled.
Many have protective parts that learned to:
- stay strong and self-reliant
- avoid vulnerability or emotional dependence
- manage, control, or withdraw to feel safe
- override their own needs to keep things together
Working with me often feels grounding and relieving.
Like being allowed to slow down.
Like not having to explain or justify yourself.
Like discovering that you can be honest without falling apart.
Sometimes this work feels calming. Sometimes it feels confronting. Both are welcome.
I hold steady so you can meet what is already there, without being rushed, judged, or fixed. Real change happens when your inner system begins to feel safe enough to soften.
My Mission
My mission is to support people in coming back into relationship with themselves.
I do this by cultivating self-leadership, awareness, and nervous-system safety, so that the Self, not fear or protection, can lead. From this place, people learn to listen inward, understand their patterns, and make choices that are aligned rather than reactive.
This work is as much about remembering as it is about changing.
Remembering who you are beneath the roles, strategies, and expectations you learned to carry.
My Approach
At the heart of my work is a respectful, collaborative coaching relationship.
My approach is:
- Trauma-informed and evidence-based, drawing from psychology, neuroscience, Internal Family Systems, somatics, and nervous-system science
- Parts-aware and non-pathologizing, seeing every behaviour as meaningful and protective
- Grounded and embodied, integrating mind, body, and emotional awareness
- Slow and intentional, prioritizing safety over speed
I do not believe in forcing breakthroughs or bypassing difficult emotions. The change I support is gradual and sustainable. It teaches you how to pause, feel, set boundaries, and lead yourself with clarity instead of self-criticism.
Psychological safety, for me, means honesty without harm, depth without overwhelm, and responsibility held with compassion.
Relationships
Our relationships reflect the parts of us that are in the lead.
Without awareness, we repeat familiar dynamics, even when they hurt. Through self-leadership, we begin to recognize these patterns and create space for different choices. As your inner system becomes safer and more coherent, your relationships naturally begin to change.
Aware Space
I am the co-founder of Aware Space in Gdynia, a bilingual community space opening in January 2026.
Aware Space was created as a slower, more human alternative to performative growth, a place where people can arrive as they are, reconnect with themselves, and be witnessed without pressure to heal, fix, or improve.
I work fluently in English, having lived in the UK for over 18 years, and I support both Polish and international clients in a language that feels natural and emotionally precise.
Here, I hold coaching, workshops, men’s spaces, breathwork, and embodied practices that support self-awareness, emotional regulation, and conscious connection.
An Invitation
If you feel tired of holding everything together alone,
If you sense that something inside you wants more honesty, presence, and depth,
If you are ready to meet yourself with curiosity rather than force,
You are welcome here.
You do not have to do this alone.
All parts of you are welcome.
