About me
Viktoria Barbara Kokany - Corporate Wellbeing & Event Specialist, somatic breathing coach, Junior TRE® provider
„The goal is not to banish stress from our lives completely, but to increase the flexibility of our nervous system and its way back to peace.”
– Amanda Armstrong MA

My journey
For more than two decades I have worked in event marketing and experience-based events, family days and team-building programmes. One of the hallmarks of my profession is practical, immediate problem solving. In time I also became a specialist at delivering reliable, stable events with my team even when the information changed daily in the week before the event. All of this happened in a constant „fight or flight” nervous-system state, which one day brought me to a halt. That was around 2023, when I first experienced the benefits of somatic breathwork first-hand; since then I have been passing this method on to others as a somatic breathing coach, whether they are individuals or teams.
I believe that in an increasingly individualistic society the wellbeing of the leader and of the team will only grow in importance. In the future, only those corporate cultures will be attractive that are able to take the opportunity in this seriously. Performance matters, but it is a consequence of the organisation taking responsibility for the mental health of its people. This is what I support my clients with, by organising dedicated wellbeing days, primarily from a somatic perspective.
My goal is to increase employee wellbeing with science-based methods that bring immediately measurable results in stress management and mental focus.
