Psychosomatic Massage
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
-
You understand much intellectually, yet remain physically tense.
-
You often feel “above” your body or have limited bodily awareness.
-
You struggle with inner restlessness, ongoing stress, or exhaustion.
-
Inner stability does not feel sustainable.
-
You wish to deepen your psychotherapy or coaching at a bodily level.
When this work is not appropriate: Psychosomatic massage is not suitable in cases of acute psychiatric crisis, severe depressive states with suicidal thoughts, acute psychosis, untreated mania, or pronounced dissociation following violent trauma or untreated PTSD. It does not replace medical assessment or psychotherapeutic treatment.
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.
