I'm Katja, a business psychologist, accredited coach, certified Pilates instructor, and founder of UNDO.
My work has always been driven by a curiosity about people — how we think, what motivates us, how we navigate expectations, and what allows us to truly thrive.
Through my experience in business psychology, HR, and coaching, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the relationship between people, performance, and the environments in which we work and grow. One insight has consistently shaped my perspective: the importance of connecting the language of business with the language of people.
Over time, I’ve come to recognise that sustainable success is not created through strategies, processes, or structures alone, but through the interplay of business objectives, human potential, and a culture that enables growth.
Today, this perspective shapes how I approach both people and organisations — with equal curiosity about individual behavioural patterns and potential, as well as the dynamics of leadership, culture, and change.
Beyond my professional experience, my background as a former competitive athlete and certified Pilates teacher has shaped my fascination with the connection between body and mind, cognition, nervous system regulation and performance. It has taught me that performing at our best isn’t simply about pushing harder, but about developing greater awareness of how we think, feel and respond — and staying connected to ourselves along the way.
Bringing these perspectives together shapes my approach to coaching: creating space for self-awareness, new perspectives and meaningful development, where ambition, wellbeing and authenticity can coexist.
Movement has been part of my life since childhood. As a former competitive athlete and certified Pilates instructor, I experienced early on how closely physical and mental processes are connected.
These experiences sparked my interest in the relationship between cognition, body awareness, nervous system regulation, and performance.
They also taught me that performing at our best isn't simply about pushing harder, but about developing greater awareness of how we think, feel, and respond — while staying connected to ourselves along the way.
Alongside my background in business psychology, I've explored coaching, somatic approaches, and personal development in greater depth. My professional coaching training and continued development in alignment with the standards of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) complement these perspectives with a reflective, client-centred approach.
Bringing these perspectives together shapes my approach to coaching: creating space for self-awareness, new perspectives, and meaningful development, where ambition, wellbeing, and authenticity can coexist.
It brings together psychological insights, strategic HR expertise, coaching, and somatic perspectives into an integrated approach to personal and professional development.
I believe sustainable change begins when we develop a deeper understanding of ourselves — our beliefs, needs, behavioural patterns, and the expectations that shape our actions.
It’s not about constantly achieving more or striving for endless self-improvement. It’s about making more intentional choices, questioning familiar patterns, and navigating personal and professional development in alignment with our own values and aspirations.
