Psychosomatic Bodywork
Body-oriented support for people in psychotherapy or coaching.
This approach begins where conversation alone no longer leads further — when much has been understood cognitively, yet the body has not fully integrated it.
It is suitable for people engaged in psychotherapy or coaching, as well as for those not currently in therapy who wish to develop greater access to their body, inner stability, and balance.
When this body-oriented support can be helpful
-
Much is understood intellectually, yet your body remains tense.
-
At times, it feels as if you are “above” your body rather than fully in it or have limited bodily awareness.
-
Inner restlessness, ongoing stress, or exhaustion keep returning.
-
A sense of inner stability doesn’t yet feel sustainable.
-
There is a wish to deepen psychotherapy or coaching through work with the body.
Structure of a Session (90 minutes)
Arrival & Conversation: We discuss your concerns, current challenges, and what you need in order to feel safe and well supported.
Full- or Partial-Body Work on the Table: Through conscious, attentive touch with oil, your body is invited to relax and become more accessible to perception again.
Guided Awareness: At times, I may ask brief questions about bodily sensations, emotions, or inner images — without analysis, simply to notice. If it feels stable, these experiences can be gently included, only as far as it feels right for you.
Closing & Grounding: We conclude with a calm ending, grounding, and centering, so that you leave the practice regulated and ready to return to daily life.
Integration (optional): If appropriate, you receive simple impulses for afterwards, such as a brief self-regulation exercise or a journaling prompt.
Collaboration with Therapists & Coaches
If you are currently in psychotherapy or coaching, this work can be integrated as a complementary support to your ongoing therapeutic or personal development process.
Professional exchange with your therapist or coach is possible only with your explicit consent and a written release from confidentiality.
