Mirella, compassion coach

"The three-month mentorship was a deeply transformative experience. Many important themes emerged, and we uncovered the areas that are still holding me back. The somatic practices have become part of my daily life. I gained valuable tools, new insights into who I am and who I want to become, as well as a healthy acceptance of my own growth process, I don't have to figure it all out at once. I’m incredibly grateful for this journey—it allowed me to grow in ways I never expected."

Get to know your inner landscapes...

Patterns are held in the tissues of our bodies. We cannot move forward until we somatically process and transmute the pain, and establish inner safety to open our hearts and live life to its fullest.

 

I know you are tired but come, this is the way.

Sara, retreat participant

Mikaela has an exceptional gift of attuning with each individual emotionally, spiritually and physically. In each area, she opens you doors and gives you directions but never pushes you to take any specific path (or any of them) if it’s not right for you at that moment. Learning with Mikaela is a genuinely reciprocal process where you feel respected and supported. And she makes heavenly cinnamon rolls!

Mikaela offers spiritual and somatic mentorship for 'modern mystics' walking a path of initiation, growing through their challenges and aligning their lives from the inside out.

Through this holistic and empowering approach you'll begin to realign with Life, open your heart and can live as your fullest and most authentic self.

Katarina, retreat participant

My experience during the retreat was very relaxing and nurturing, while also challenging us to leave our comfort zone. The yoga and meditation was excellent, suitable for a diverse group of participants. The synergy among the participants was really warm and supportive.  

After the retreat I feel more centered and calm. Relaxed. My friends tell me there is a certain glow and joy around me after the retreat.

Who I am and why I do this work

I am Mikaela Soldan, a yoga teacher, somatic practitioner and a spiritual life coach. 

 

I am here for the collective awakening and the expansion of consciousness. As each person awakens, we can begin to imagine the actual potential of what it means to be a fully realized human being.

 

On the human level, I enjoy having deep conversations with friends, drinking espresso from a small colorful cup preferably outside watching people in one of my favorite cities (New York, Paris or Helsinki), taking good care of my houseplants, taking candlelit baths, watching the sunset.
