Karima Valentina Hocevar is the founder of Mudita Institute and a trauma-informed therapist and teacher specializing in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) and the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM). Since 2011, she has been co-teaching seminars in BCST in Slovenia and internationally. Since 2015, she has been part of the teaching team for NARM trainings across Europe, where she also serves as a supervisor. She is currently participating in the Time Wisdom Training (TWT) facilitated by Thomas Hübl, which focuses on collective trauma, inner development, and attuned presence.

Karima’s professional path is grounded in years of dedicated study and integration of diverse therapeutic approaches. Her work emphasises presence, inner spaciousness, and relational attunement—principles that form the heart of her teaching and therapeutic practice.

Beneath her professional experience lies a lifelong sensitivity to human relationships: how we connect, where we lose each other, and how we find our way back. Early formative experiences sparked a deep interest in the invisible dynamics between people and inspired her personal journey into mindfulness, self-inquiry, and healing. These experiences continue to shape her commitment to creating spaces of safety, resonance, and transformation.

Currently, Karima is in the process of developing Resonant Touch, a process-oriented therapeutic approach that synthesises her understanding of human wholeness with the core principles of BCST and NARM.
