Your guide to yourself through movement
I am Natālija Rižka.
For years, I thrived in the corporate world — leading global IT projects with passion and energy, inspiring people along the way.
I’ve traveled around the world — climbing mountains, free-diving in the ocean, hiking through the wild, and dancing at Burning Man — always seeking to experience life in its fullest expression.
I became a certified fitness trainer, ran daily, and tried almost every kind of sport.
Life gave me challenges — brain concussions, a broken leg, divorces, crises. Each time I fell, I rose stronger. Friends call me Phoenix for always rising again.
Yet despite all the adventures, challenges and achievements, something inside whispered: there is more.
Dance had always been with me — from childhood joy to late nights on beaches and clubs in Bali, where I arrived after another concussion and divorce. There, dance became medicine, I was coming back home to myself - releasing, rewiring. And as I moved, eyes closed and free, I began to spark something in others too — reminding them of their own freedom.
That is when I realised — this is my gift, my life force.
I turned to Dance–Movement Therapy (DMT), a science-based discipline born when therapists saw that words alone were not enough to heal. Movement reaches where language cannot, because the body does not hold the same barriers as the mind. Through intentional movement we can release emotions stored in the body, shift old patterns, and find new ways of being — with more clarity, freedom, and joy.
Today, I guide individuals, couples, groups, and companies into safe, transformative spaces where movement becomes medicine.
My workshops are not about performance — but honesty, listening, and discovering the parts of yourself beyond words.
I believe dance and movement are a path back to ourselves.
To live fully. To rise again. To unfold our true potential.
Let’s move together,
Yours, Natālija
