Meet Gitta.
In my mid-twenties, I was a physical therapist doing meaningful work. I was also in constant motion: acrobatics, music, kayak polo, and working with horses, all while working a full-time job. Years of recurring illness were my body's way of trying to get my attention, yet my mind kept driving anyway.
I grew up between Germany and Sweden, the daughter of a physical therapist and a rocket engineer. Born with significant hearing loss, I learned early to listen beyond words, paying attention to body language, emotional nuance, and what lives beneath how people present themselves.
It wasn't until I came to California on a scholarship for a yearlong Somatic Movement Therapy training that things shifted. I discovered that the body is not simply something we carry around and use. It is an intelligence system, constantly giving us information about ourselves and our environment, often before our analytical mind catches up.Learning to listen to that intelligence changed how I understood myself and how I related to others. It taught me to sense what was happening within me, read a room, lead with empathy, and communicate with greater presence and authenticity.
It became the foundation for the work I do today.
When I moved into leadership work in 2007, I began seeing something I had experienced in my own body for years: people often know more than they realize.
They sense what is happening in a room. They feel when something is off. They know when they are holding back, overthinking, losing their center, or responding from a place that doesn't reflect who they want to be.
Yet much of traditional leadership development focuses primarily on what we think, say, and do. I saw an opportunity to bring another dimension into the conversation: the intelligence of the body.
The Making of inResonance™
I began bringing together my background in somatic movement, movement analysis, bodywork, coaching, neuroscience, and years of working with leaders. Over time, these strands came together into what I now call the inResonance™ Approach.
inResonance™ integrates somatic intelligence, nervous system awareness, and neuroscience-based coaching to help leaders access more of the intelligence they already have.
The goal isn't to become someone different. It is to become more fully yourself, with greater clarity, self-trust, and presence, especially when navigating pivotal moments and new roles.
That is what inResonance™ is ultimately about: bringing the whole of you into how you lead.
The Science Behind the Approach
inResonance™ is a leadership approach grounded in the biological understanding that far more information moves from the body to the brain than originally thought. For centuries we have been conditioned to lead from the neck up, and in doing so we have lost touch with the deeper intelligence
our body carries.
Bringing the mind and body back into their natural state of congruence… this psycho-physical alignment is how we reclaim access to whole intelligence. This connection becomes the foundation for self-trust, aligned decision-making, and confidence in uncertainty. This is your edge.
This is inResonance™.
