For twenty years, she also taught Laban-based movement at the Royal Academy

She has taught and presented her work in both psychoanalytic settings
and body psychotherapy/somatic psychology trainings in the UK and the

psychoanalytic thinking has also been underpinned by her study of Amerta
Movement, of which she is a qualified teacher. Katya now lives and practices
DMT in Santa Barbara, CA.
