PhDr. Tatiana Lorencová, Ph.D.

After completing my master’s degree in psychology at the Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague, I began working as a psychologist at the Rehabilitation Institute in Kladruby. This work was, in many ways, both inspiring and formative, yet also limiting in others. It led me to seek new perspectives and insights into life and the human experience.
Through this search, yoga, shiatsu, qi gong, and, last but not least, mindfulness entered my life. Amazed by its simplicity, truthfulness, and effectiveness, I completed the MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) teacher training at UC San Diego and later explored its impact on the quality of life of people with multiple sclerosis in my doctoral dissertation at my alma mater.
I continue to find joy in sharing the message of mindfulness, raising awareness about it, and helping people discover the strength of their own potential through this path. Alongside the gift of lifelong learning, I have received another great gift — two beautiful children, whom I am raising in the embrace of a loving family and the mountains.
The MBSR course enriched my life a lot. I liked the form that is more professional without an unnecessary layer of spirituality. I listen to the recordings that were part of the course up to now. The course and especially its teacher Eva enabled me to embrace the mindfulness practice. Thanks to this, my inner and outer world has changed a lot. I had tried to practice meditation and mindfulness a few times before, however it had no long-term effect. The MBSR format of the course helped me to implement regularity which led to visible in changes in my life.
Peter Dendis
The MBSR course was a useful guide how to stop, notice what is going on and why , enjoy the power of present moment and relax the mind that normally works in high speed. It showed me new ways how I can myself increase my life energy by faster and more effective elimination of stress which I am often not even aware of. Because before I had learned to suppress or overlook stress before. An interesting thing that I did not expect was observing specific reactions of my body on different mind states and vice versa.
Eva as a coach is a systematic and patient guide and teacher. She works with scientifically proven methods, that she can explain and adjust to the needs of the group and also to individual needs.
It was nice to go through the course with a group of people with similar thinking, motivated to move our mindfulness and awareness to the next level.
Lucia Suďová
I took part in an individual 8-week mindfulness course. Eva is an experienced and empathetic coach. It was pleasant to discover that in a natural form I can change my approach to different situations in everyday work and personal life. The meetings with Eva were somehow a start of inner changes for me. Self-awareness and certain techniques can help us to navigate our lives in a qualitatively better way.
Everything is in our hands, or better said in our minds. I sincerely recommend Eva.
Katarína Radu
The MBCL program brought me many insights and a deeper understanding of compassion and forgiveness. I learned to better manage difficult situations and deal with my emotions. The course gave me specific techniques for this that I continue to use. Eva is a wonderful and professional teacher who guided us through the course with sensitivity and understanding. She created a safe environment in which we could share our feelings, but also discuss our experiences in individual modules.
Eva Polláková
I have been practicing meditation for several years, but I wanted to explore the concept of mindfulness more deeply, ideally under the guidance of an experienced instructor. When I discovered the MBSR course, I knew this could be the way forward. Over eight weeks, I systematically learned techniques for managing stress, coping better with overwhelming thoughts, and handling difficult emotions. Additionally, I delved deeper into my inner self and became more aware of pleasant experiences, events, and emotions. Eva is a wonderful and empathetic instructor, and her kindness and willingness to answer questions make this course an unforgettable experience.
Martin Miklos
I joined the MBCL course full of expectations after previous good experiences from the MBSR course. The knowledge acquired in this course perfectly complemented the knowledge and practice of mindfulness. The meditations from the course were pleasant and easier to implement. I listen to them and they help me overcome life’s obstacles more easily, as well as experience compassion for myself and those around me. Thanks to the course, I gained a different view of the world. Although I am aware that completing the course is only the beginning of a long journey, I am very grateful that the course has set me on the path of compassion. I highly recommend it.
Karin Gálová
The MBSR course brought me greater inner peace and improved my ability to handle stressful situations in everyday life. I also benefited from the theoretical part, which helps one better understand the essence of mindfulness. Eva introduced us to practical meditation techniques that are truly effective and applicable in daily life. I really appreciated Eva’s approach and guidance throughout the course; everyone was given space for self-expression and individual advice. It was both human and professional at the same time.
Monika
Eva Zavacká is a coach and trainer that you can without hesitation recommend to your friends or business partners. Except for coaching she provides also other ways of development and support, which is great.
I have taken part on the workshop „Slow down and Speed up”. It was an excellent and effective training to enhance your inner harmony, better cope with stress, increase your effectiveness and the strength of being in the present moment with mindfulness. I took away interesting and effective relaxation techniques, basics of office yoga and a strong belief that Eva is a professional with a great amount of empathy.
Anna Pastierová
A coach, psychologist and trainer. Eva is a great professional with a human face. When coaching she in neutral and leads the client to cognition in a way that the client feels that someone cares about him, however he discovers the solutions himself. Eva also approaches life and works situations of her clients as a psychologist. She can in the right moment “prescribe” what is needed – either a psychological advice or very effective business and life coaching. The clients often gets 2 in 1, which is outstanding.
Miriam Kittler
From the mindfulness workshop I took away not only new and interesting information but mainly comprehension on what my body and soul actually need. An unexpected bonus was my own action plan on what I want and can do about it. The workshop will not change one’s life, this can be done only by ourselves, however it is the right place to start.
The workshop took place in a very pleasant location and informal atmosphere that helped us to get off the beaten track and make space for new ideas and experiences. I highly recommend it!
Hana Masrnová
I took part on the workshop “Slow down and Speed up” without any significant expectations and with an open mind. The term “mindfulness” had been unknown to me up to then. I was driven by curiosity and the need to sort my own thoughts in a period when deciding about my next career steps. Conscious work with own thoughts , mindfulness, ability to absolutely concentrate on the present moment and basics of meditation techniques mean a huge enrichment for me.
Eva is an outstanding and complex person, a professional coach, psychologist and a trainer. When being in a complicated work or life situation, Eva can for sure help you navigate to the best solution that is right for you.
Klaudia Benkovská
Self-kindness is a common theme currently, in the age of requirements coming to us from all sides. Practicing and incorporating mindfulness into everyday life is also a part of self-kindness. Which means allowing yourself to devote time just to yourself. This learning from the MBSR course was key for me and therefore I try to spread it among my friends, family and clients.
Veronika Veselá
I took part in the MBSR course in a hectic period of my life and it helped me to remind myself how beautiful present moments are – here and now. Thanks to the course I got familiar with different techniques – such as body scan, meditations, increasing awareness of own feelings – some of them I liked, I learned them well and incorporated them into my life on regular basis. Eva is a careful observer, great listener and non-violent guide that is always there for you during the course.
Hana Hozzánková
The MBSR course was perfect; it taught me to slow down, notice more things around me, be kinder to myself, and view negative situations from a different perspective than before. I really enjoyed it! Evi, thank you so much for the course; you were our amazing guide on this adventure. Some of your words will hopefully stay with us forever. I’m looking forward to our next meetings.
Mirka E.
The MBSR course gave me a strong foundation in mindfulness — it taught me how to meditate in a way that creates a true harmony between body and mind. I gained the ability to become more consciously present, manage my emotions more skillfully, and reduce stress in everyday life.
I wholeheartedly thank Eva Zavacká, an exceptional teacher who leads this wonderful course with such depth and sensitivity. Eva is not only a highly skilled professional — she is a true guide. With great expertise, she explains the theory behind the program while also leading us gently and authentically into direct practice.
After completing the course, I feel more balanced in body and mind than ever before. It has helped me understand life differently — with greater harmony, where stress softens, emotions settle, and presence becomes more natural.
If I were a doctor, I would prescribe this course as the first “medicine” to every patient: before pills, before diagnoses — because harmony between body and mind is the foundation of a healthy life.
Eva, this truly changed the way I see the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Terézia Kudla
Taika’s mindfulness course taught me to pause, reflect on myself, and enjoy every single moment—just for the sake of joy and the present moment. I still use the techniques we learned in the course in my personal life, as well as in my work as a teacher. I highly recommend it to everyone who needs to get to know themselves, accept themselves, and move forward.
Elena
The MBSR course with Taika helped me grow personally and move in the right direction. The mindfulness practices integrated into everyday life became important moments of self-care for me. I learned to pay attention to my needs and, most importantly, to my emotions, which I had often overlooked before. Since completing the course, I have also completed a three-year program in art therapy, where I was able to draw on the experience and insights I gained through mindfulness practice. Our group consisted of like-minded people who supported and inspired one another. We have stayed in touch and continue to support each other through various life situations.
One of the most memorable parts of the course was the closing retreat, during which we spent an entire day together in silence. It was a deeply meaningful and intense experience for me. Since then, I have started to appreciate everyday moments with greater gratitude, and I now view mistakes as opportunities for growth and learning rather than setbacks.
Ivka
The course was a pleasant time spent alone with myself, a chance to slow down and explore my body and mind from within, but also a precious opportunity to connect with the other women in the course and share our experiences honestly.
