I am blessed to have a team of wonderful humans, who are here to help you learn and grow! They have been on the same path you are embarking on, and I could not be happier that you have their support! You can meet them below!
Destiny Segovia
Hey, I am Destiny Segovia and I live in Columbus, Ohio. I am a licensed therapist as well as a NARM therapist. I am also a Navy veteran – an experience that has shaped much of my life. The internal and external challenges I faced now allow me to relate to others from a place of deep understanding. When I am not working, you can find me knitting, reading, moving my body, traveling, and connecting with friends.
I started my Peace with Food program in January of 2020. A few months into the program, everything in the United States and the world shut down as we tried to navigate the early stages of the pandemic. I felt both frustrated that my healing process seemed to be interrupted by the pandemic, but also fortunate to be on such a profound journey in the middle of a very challenging time. The support I felt in having a core group of people to connect with each week was incredibly helpful in navigating my experience with a more supported nervous system.
I often say that the Peace with Food Transformation Group did not change me, rather, it gently and softly supported me to create a different relationship with myself, so that I could uncover who I’ve always been. I am delighted to be by your side on your own transformation journey!
Kate Bergman
Hello, I’m Kate and I am thrilled that you have started your own Peace with Food journey! I am a therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in Ohio.
Before I found Galina’s program in 2020, I had dabbled in all the things diet culture, point counting, intuitive eating, body positivity – you name it. When I came to this program I was at a point where I was fed up with other people dictating how I should feel or feed my body. I wanted to appreciate what my own truths were. I wanted to listen to my own voice.
My hope for you is that you can approach this program with curiosity and compassion towards yourself and others. I love the chance to support people to connect with ALL of themselves, and consider it a deep privilege to be a part of this truly groundbreaking work and your own growth within it!

Precious human, welcome. All of you is welcome here. 🙂
I look forward to meeting you in person, but until then, let me introduce myself:
I was born and raised on the coast of Croatia and I carry imprints of sensual Mediterranean ecology in my bones. I spent 20 years in London, working mainly in book publishing and the not-for-profit sector. Eight years ago, I set off on a personal healing exploration, returned to Croatia, and devoted myself to deep study and practice of all things somatic and trauma healing.
On this journey, I was blessed to discover Galina and her remarkable work. I enrolled in the Peace with Food program in 2020 and it moved and transformed me profoundly. It is such an honor and a delight to support others now as they move on this tender path towards more intimacy, connection, and aliveness.
When I am not supporting lovely humans in this program, I run my online practice as a Somatic Experiencing, NARM and Expressive Arts Practitioner and a Jungian Coach.
In my free time I love being taken by a poem, dancing like nobody’s watching, or gazing lazily at the shimmering seascape.

Hello there!! You’ve come to the right place! Looking back, the decision to do this work completely transformed my life!
I have a background in Marriage and Family Therapy, Life Coaching, Neo Emotional Release, NeuroAffective Relational Model, and more…but it is not my education, rather the practice and experience of this work in my own personal life that has naturally and gracefully allowed me to stop rowing my boat upstream and live fully as myself.
Ever since I can remember, my system has used food to regulate its states. After decades of feeling shame, guilt, regret, humiliation, and just being tired and fed up with my relationship with my body and food, I found this work and finally, everything made sense.
It is my joy to witness the shifts in our students and support them as they explore a new way of being. The process is like hearing sound or seeing for the first time. The world around you is the same, yet your experience of the world is totally different.
I love being in nature, being with people, humor, dancing, and boxing. I offer in-person and online workshops that focus on safety, connection, freedom, and peace. I am in love with this work and can’t wait to meet you!
