SOMATIC GUIDE ON A MISSION
to return authority over women’s lives
to themselves
Not better. Not more productive.
Just true to yourself.
Maybe you know this: you're building something, performing it well, and somewhere underneath, without ever quite noticing, you've lost track of which voice in it is actually yours.
For years I built my business as a mix of instinct and other people's advice — courses, coaches, people I admired. I always thought I was doing it my way. Turns out even "my way" was full of borrowed words.
So I stopped. I kept working with the clients I already had and quit everything else — the growing, the promoting, the constant performing of progress. No backup plan, no next strategy. No social media. Just quiet.
It lasted three years. Long enough to finally hear my own voice underneath everyone else's.
What came back wasn't new — it was the work I'd already been doing for ten years, just without all the noise on top of it.
CZECH CHAMELEON IN BUENOS AIRES
HEDVIKA TICHA
I spent the time on the parts of my life that have nothing to do with business at all. Dancing. Getting to know a new city. Rooting in a new country. None of it built a following. But all the pleasure was mine.
Quiet Power came out of that silence.
And somewhere in there I realized: three years without promoting anything isn't a failure. It just doesn't look like progress on anyone's content calendar.
In the meantime, my life reorganized around what I actually wanted, not what I was forcing it into. Yours might too. What looks like visible motion from the outside doesn't tell you whether it's real on the inside.
A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE
2008
Rejected by Charles University in Prague: due to my Spanish "not being good enough." I move to Madrid and study Spanish language and literature anyway.
2016
I find my refuge in yoga and tango, and realize how long I'd been living entirely in my head. Through the body I discover freedom, strength, and joy I didn't know were available.
2015
The dream comes true: I translate my first novel — Los siete locos by Roberto Arlt, an Argentine classic. Burnout follows, and a dramatic break up. Everything I had been building in my life is suddenly gone.
2020
2021
I become obsessed with restorative practices — the ones that ask you to soften and do nothing. Doing nothing, it turns out, gives what effort never could: clarity, insight, and connection to spirit.
2024
The worst possible moment to settle in Argentina, by every sensible measure. But a chain of synchronicities lands me in Buenos Aires — the city I dreamt about when I used to be a translator, and the city I kept coming back to as a dancer.
Now
Covid stops everything. I found undo yoga — not as a stretch routine or a mindful workout, but a way to bring more being into our lives just full of doing.
2023
After eleven years in Berlin, I know it's time — without knowing for what. I pack a carry-on and book a ticket to New York.
2022
I train in embodiment coaching. One question takes me over: how emotions speak through the body — and I start guiding women to notice what they say before they have words for them.
Some may call it luck. But it’s magic on purpose. Every plan I ever made in life fell through — and what arrived instead was so much better. I just had to listen. To the signals that made no sense on paper, and follow. And here I am. I’ve never felt more at home.
MY PHILOSOPHY
What I hold each session to
-
Not an idea — something felt. A truth you're told can be repeated, but it dissolves under pressure. A truth you've felt stays. The shift in a session isn't "I see things differently now." It's "I know. And I can feel that I know."
-
This is quiet work. It doesn't rush. It waits for honesty. And I won't step in with an answer just because I can see one — being right too early helps no one. The room gives you time to arrive.
-
Not the reward after the work — part of the work itself. And not the performed kind: the raw, quiet kind that's simply there. Your capacity to feel your pain and your capacity for pleasure are one capacity. The work grows both at once.
