About
Why blissko?
The name blissko came to me like a gentle exhale — part English bliss, part Polish blisko (meaning "close").
It holds a simple truth: the peace, ease, and joy you're seeking isn't somewhere far away, requiring perfect conditions or years of preparation.
It's blisko. Close. Already alive in your body.
blissko is where you can rest when life feels overwhelming. Where you can release patterns of protection and rediscover the simple pleasure of being in your own skin.
Because bliss isn't something you have to earn - it's something you come home to.
Understanding your mind-body connection
More than a container for stress, your body is a wellspring of sensation, joy, and deep knowing. Yet when life overwhelms, your protective responses may kick in — holding breath, tensing muscles, or shutting down sensation. Over time, these patterns can quiet not just pain, but also pleasure, intimacy, and ease.
Holosomatic® Bodywork Therapy invites you back into relationship with your body — not to fix what's "broken," but to remember what's always been whole.
Through conscious breath, therapeutic touch, and attuned presence, these sessions help you:
Unwind tension held in body and nervous system
Restore natural flow and vitality
Reconnect with the simple bliss of being alive
This work is rooted in safety and oriented toward joy.
The breath as your guide
Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) opens doors to what's been stored beneath the surface — sometimes grief or old emotions, other times waves of release, laughter, or unexpected softness.
Breath invites your full participation while making space for whatever wants to emerge: clarity, connection, or quiet joy. We honor natural rhythms — effort and rest, emotion and stillness, tension and release. Your body sets the pace. You're never pushed, only invited.
This is not about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering your body as a source of nourishment, clarity, and quiet bliss.
Meet Zuzanna
Holosomatic® Bodywork Therapist
Body was always calling me
Even as a child, I was fascinated by how incredible our bodies are — marveling in biology class at all those systems working together. I was also pure movement and joy: dancing at celebrations, performing in school plays, swimming in lakes, so active I'd watch television hanging upside down on the couch (my parents eventually sent me to acrobatics classes).
Somewhere along the way, like so many of us, I learned to live primarily in my head. The thinking mind became my refuge, books my escape, and I gradually disconnected from that active, embodied child I'd been.
My fascination with the human body led me to study biotechnology, convinced I'd find healing in molecular details. After realizing that lab work wasn't for me, I found myself in an office job, still carrying that fascination but not knowing how to honor it.
That's when I began my journey back home
First through yoga, then profoundly through motherhood — watching my body create and nourish life filled me with awe for what I'd been disconnected from.
Years later, breathwork and somatic practices during my Holosomatic® Bodywork Therapy training integrated everything I'd been learning.
During this journey, I shifted from that spotlight-loving child to discovering my gift in quiet, deep listening. I became the friend others sought when they needed to be truly heard, and that empathic presence now shapes my work. The researcher in me loves how science explains what my body always knew: why breath shifts our nervous system, why gentle touch heals, why honoring natural rhythms matters.
Here's how I work
Your body's wisdom and desires lead
Sessions follow what wants healing AND what wants pleasure. This isn't about fixing what's "broken", it's about remembering what's always been whole.
Consent is ongoing and pleasure-positive
You maintain full choice over your experience of both healing and delight. Nothing happens without your participation.
Integration includes celebration
We honor both your healing journey and your capacity for joy, pleasure, and aliveness.
Safety enables authentic experience
Emotional, physical, and energetic safety create space for both healing and joy. You remain fully clothed, maintain complete autonomy, and we move at your nervous system's pace.
What makes Holosomatic Bodywork® unique:
Conscious connected breathwork activates your nervous system's natural healing capacity.
Therapeutic touch follows your body's guidance, not predetermined techniques.
Somatic awareness helps you recognize and trust your body's signals.
Trauma-informed approach ensures safety while welcoming authentic experience.

This session is for you if:
Your nervous system feels like it's been running on high alert for longer than you'd like to admit.
You're craving something your body barely remembers: true softness, safety, and the permission to simply receive.
You're ready to rest without having to earn it. (Yes, that's actually possible.)
What happens:
This session is like giving your nervous system the warmest, safest embrace. Think therapeutic touch that melts tension like warm clay, gentle movement that flows like water, and soothing sounds that remind your body it's allowed to rest.
The breathwork here is subtle — soft invitations for your system to settle into its natural rhythm. Everything moves at the pace of safety, not productivity.
Online sessions wrap you in the same gentle container through guided self-touch and grounding practices that help your nervous system remember what "settled" feels like.
What you’ll feel after:
Spacious and deeply nurtured. The session dissolves layers of held tension, leaving you feeling like you have finally been given permission to fully exhale. You'll reconnect with your body, experiencing the profound relief that comes when protection softens into presence.

This session is for you if:
You're ready to let your breath take you deeper than thinking can reach.
You're curious about what happens when you give your nervous system space to truly express itself.
You want to access the wisdom your body holds. (Fair warning: your body has a lot to say.)
What happens:
Holosomatic® Bodywork uses conscious connected breathwork — continuous, rhythmic breath that flows like waves, with no pauses between inhale and exhale. It shifts your nervous system into states where deep release becomes possible.
Combined with therapeutic touch and somatic awareness, this creates space for whatever wants to move through you — whether that's emotions, tears or laughter.
Online sessions adapt this work through guided self-touch and conscious connected breath, creating the same safe container for your nervous system to unfold.
What you’ll feel after:
A profound return to yourself. The session clears away layers of protection, leaving you more connected to your body's innate wisdom. You'll feel clearer, more grounded, and in touch with the quiet knowing that emerges when your nervous system finally feels safe to let go.

FAQ
Wear comfortable clothes you can move and breathe in easily. For online sessions, prepare your yoga mat, a ottle of water and find a quiet private space.
You're ready if you're curious, even if you're also nervous. Readiness isn't about being fearless — it's about being willing to explore what your body might need, at whatever pace feels right for you.
Absolutely. We'll discuss boundaries before we begin, and you maintain complete control over any touch. Many clients start with minimal contact and gradually open to more as they feel safe. Your pace, always.
Conscious connected breathwork is foundational to this work, but we always go at your pace. New to breathwork? We'll start gently and build gradually as your system feels ready.
Emotions are completely welcome — they're often how the body releases what it's been holding. I'm trained to support you through whatever arises, and we can always pause, slow down, or adjust as needed.
Please inform me of:
Epilepsy, glaucoma, retinal detachment
Severe cardiovascular issues or high blood pressure
Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, psychosis, OCD, or recent psychiatric hospitalization

Pregnancy
We'll discuss any necessary modifications to ensure your safety and comfort.
Everything happens with your explicit consent. You can say no to any type of touch, adjust anything that doesn't feel right, or pause at any time. Your comfort and sense of safety guide every session.
This work is specifically trauma-informed. You don't need to share details of your history unless you want to. My approach prioritizes your sense of safety, choice, and control throughout.
