Our body carries memories, emotions and wisdom within. By combining touch and words, a bridge can be created between the unconscious and your everyday mind. This body work can help you reconnect with the hidden parts and deeper layers within yourself.
In the sessions we work with:
- Natural breathing and relaxation as guide
- Attentive touch (always with consent)
- Movement and bodily awareness
- Silence and presence
About Touch & Awareness
For body work I use the Touch & Awareness method. This is a holistic approach to physical and emotional well‑being that uses touch and dialogue to bring awareness and relief to what is held in the body or in the unconscious.
The touch invites you to feel. Not to “fix” something, but to be present with what emerges. By slowing down and listening to the body, tension can dissolve, energy can flow again, and trust can grow.
What does a session look like?
A session lasts 60 minutes. We begin with a short intake, sitting opposite each other. What is alive in you right now? What do you feel in this moment? Often we have many thoughts about what is important, but the body can bring something totally different to our attention — a sore muscle, a rumbling belly, or perhaps even a broad grin.
After the intake you will lie down on the massage table in your underwear. Usually we begin on your stomach. I cover you with a blanket.
I touch you — a meeting with openness and curiosity. The touch can evoke sensations that, in turn, can be spoken into words. In what is usually a very calm pace, emotions, sensations and words alternate. The breath is an important guide throughout. Usually halfway through the session you turn to lie on your back.
We always end with a short time of complete relaxation and silence. After getting dressed there is room for a brief reflection. But more importantly, take time to let sink in what came up, by yourself. After a session it is beneficial to be alone, in silence, nature, or to do something that feels good to you. The forest is right next to the practice and often a good option.
The body is not an obstacle we must overcome, but a gateway to wholeness.
