Body Therapy
The basis of my work is attentive perception: of what you tell me, what your body shows, and what only becomes noticeable as a treatment unfolds.
Integrative somatic process work
My work combines attentive, profound bodywork with body-therapeutic and psychosomatic process support. It is relationship-oriented, resource-oriented and trauma-sensitive, and includes the person’s physical, emotional, biographical, energetic and spiritual experience.
At the centre is the body as a living, perceiving and responsive organism. Through touch, movement, breath, conversation and focused attention, I support people in deepening bodily awareness, sensing inner states with greater differentiation and directly embodying new experiences.
My work follows a process-oriented approach. Intensity, pace and interventions do not arise from a standardised sequence, but from the individual concern and what emerges in the present moment. I attend both to what is spoken and to body language, breath, tension, movement, resonance and non-verbal responses.
Perception and relationship
An essential element is attunement: the continuous, finely tuned perception of what is happening in contact. Touch can be calm, supportive and regulating, or clear, dynamic and powerful. I adapt my approach to the person’s present capacity and responses.
The therapeutic relationship can become a field of co-regulation. Safety, presence and reliable contact support the nervous system’s ability to move more flexibly between activation and rest. Held patterns of tension may ease, inner movement can become perceptible again and new scope for action may emerge.
Trauma-sensitive support
For me, trauma-sensitive work means respecting boundaries, consent, choice and individual pace. People should be able to remain connected with themselves during treatment. Powerful or intensive bodywork does not contradict this: what matters is whether an impulse is appropriate, wanted and can be integrated in that moment.
In this context, embodiment means not only understanding change cognitively, but experiencing it physically. A new possibility becomes immediately tangible through breath, posture, movement, sensation and relationship. What could previously only be thought or wished for may become an experience anchored in the body.
Different approaches
Depending on the concern, different approaches can be combined: manual bodywork and body therapy, Lomi Lomi and Kahuna Bodywork, craniosacral work, Chi Nei Tsang, Shiatsu ShinTai, breathwork, hypnosis, conversation, and energetic and spiritual healing work. These elements can be used as stand-alone forms of treatment or integrated within a shared process.
I do not work exclusively with a focus on symptoms. Symptoms are taken seriously and treated directly, while their physical, emotional and biographical connections may also be included in the process. The aim is not conformity to a prescribed ideal, but greater self-contact, mobility, regulation, vitality and an experience of inner congruence.
Spiritual dimensions can be part of the work. Prayer, intuition, energetic perception and an orientation towards connectedness belong to my own understanding of healing. They are not assumed, but can be given space where they feel appropriate for the person and their process.
Christian ALWAYS treats me at exactly the right level. He senses and strengthens what is within me.
He is a sensitive and trustworthy person with whom I can truly open up. I feel that he understands me and knows exactly what he is doing.
He approaches sensitive areas very gently.
Thank you also for the conversations before and after the treatment, and for holding what was allowed to be present.
Christian radiated exceptional empathy, which immediately gave me a sense of trust and relaxation.
These testimonials describe personal experiences of people on their individual paths. They may encourage you to embark on your own path and allow space for the possibility of change and healing. Treatment courses and effects are individual and cannot be transferred to other people.

Medical context
Symptoms whose cause is unclear or which may be potentially dangerous should be assessed by a physician. My work does not replace necessary medical treatment. I am not aware of scientific recognition of the effectiveness of the methods and approaches I use.
