WHAT IS A SESSION
A session is a gentle, non-directive method in which I work with touch, breathe, and verbal communication. This can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself and a transformation from the person you think you are to the person you truly are.
Physical and emotional events that could not be fully expressed or allowed are stored in our body. This may manifest, for example, as shallow breathing, muscle tension, and feeling disconnected from our body. Our body then has to work hard to hold onto unprocessed emotions and learned physical patterns, using muscle and mental strength.
This is often an unconscious process and demands a lot of energy from us. With conscious touch, I can guide you to become more aware of this process. In the touch, I incorporate elements from craniosacral therapy and de-armouring.
Craniosacral therapy focuses on restoring the natural rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid around the brain and spinal cord. The goal is to stimulate the body’s self-healing ability. The therapy involves soft touches and small manipulations to facilitate the natural movement of the craniosacral rhythm.
De-armouring is a method that aims to release armour of physical, energetic, and emotional blockages in the body, often caused by prolonged stress and traumas. This method works by invitation of the body; through gentle touches and loving attention, the armour can relax and release.

Practically:
The session takes place on a massage table. You will lie on the table in your underwear, with a blanket covering you. I will observe your body and touch areas that hold tension.
During the touch, you are completely free to express anything that happens or goes through you. This dialogue is for you to become more in touch with your body and your inner world.
ABOUT ME
“I long to be at home,
wherever I find myself.”
Maya Angelou
For many years, my life was shaped, almost imprisoned, by fear. Its roots reached back to a psychosis I experienced at twenty-three, a time when I lost all hold on reality and was swept away by terror of both life and death. Yet in the midst of that chaos, a sentence rose up within me, clear and luminous: “I know nothing anymore. I am nothing but love.” That revelation was a seed, a first reminder that even in the darkest of places, there is always a choice between fear and love. Since then, life has placed me again and again before that threshold.
A decade ago, a profound turning point unfolded. In another moment of surrender, when I once more did not know and had to yield to life itself, I felt how my greatest fear, the fear of falling back into psychosis, finally released its grip on me. In that very instant, an inner voice spoke, carrying a resounding YES, inviting me once more to live from love, my essence, rather than from fear. From that moment onward, I devoted myself fully to this calling.
I began to see how fear had bound my heart, keeping me from the free flow of giving and receiving love. So I set out in search of ways to transform my fears and return to the core of who I am. What unfolded was an intense journey of growth, of self-acceptance, of self-realization.
That journey drew me into the realms of spiritual and personal discovery. Through tantra, meditation, ayahuasca, and systemic work, I learned how to walk the path back to my essence: step by step, transforming fear, embracing myself, and learning to be present with both light and shadow.
And still, this journey of learning and navigating remains the deepest source of inspiration in my life. Through years of exploration, of training and immersion, of moving through radiance and darkness alike, I have come to know, at the most fundamental level, how to walk this path of returning home.
What I have discovered through all these years is the power of loving presence. Love makes it possible not to push away what is painful, but to hold it with gentleness. It expands my capacity to carry life. In love, nothing needs to be fixed; everything is welcome to exist, fear, grief, shame, longing, and joy alike.
This is the place from which I live and work: choosing, again and again, love over fear, and being present with whatever life brings.
