Cosima Coppola-Willi

Focus areas

Cosima is a multidisciplinary facilitator and therapist with a passion for the complex connections between brain, behaviour and body. She integrates cognitive, emotional, somatic and unconscious dimensions into her practice to help clients identify internal patterns, develop their capacity for introspection, build emotional resilience, and foster adaptability and overall mental wellbeing.

Rooted in the belief that thoughts shape our reality and that the body provides essential signals in times of imbalance, her approach focuses on listening to these signals as a pathway to alignment, well-being and mental clarity. In a fast-paced, performance-driven world, her work offers meaningful opportunities for introspection and pause—cornerstones of sustainable productivity, success, and improved quality of life.

With a focus on developing mental and physical resilience, Cosima draws on her experience as a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coach, a role she has held for over six years. Her fascination with the mind-body connection led her to explore and integrate somatic practices such as Somatic Breathwork and Transe Contact®, enhancing her ability to guide personal transformation. She also facilitates Cacao Ceremonies as introspective rituals, creating sacred spaces where people can step out of their routines, connect with their emotions and engage in deeper self-exploration, thereby promoting spiritual well-being.

Holding a master’s degree in neuroscience, she has also served as a Team Lead for Frontiers, a leading open access peer reviewed scientific journal. Her academic and professional background enables her to adopt a unique approach, combining scientific knowledge and therapeutic expertise to provide transformative experiences for individuals, leaders and organisations.
