In Traditional Chinese Medicine and other Asian healing techniques it is known for centuries that body and mind cannot be separated from each other. A healthy mind is strongly connected to a healthy body and vice versa. Traumatic experiences not only affect our mental but also our physical wellbeing. It is therefore necessary to treat the mind and the body holistically to get sustainable results. Healing massages, breathwork and meditation are but a few techniques I use to improve the mental and physical wellbeing of my clients.

Services
Everyone is unique, therefore we will work together to find an individual solution perfectly adjusted to your needs.
In my work I always consider both body and mind in order to develop a holistic treatment approach, backed by scientifically proven therapy methods like EMDR trauma therapy, Polyvagal herapy and ancient Asian healing techniques.
I put great emphasis on showing you various relaxation techniques you can use for yourself at home in between sessions. Breathwork and meditation techniques are easy to learn and will help you to self-regulate when necessary.
Imagine you want to climb a very steep mountain. You will have to walk yourself, but it will be so much easier to walk up to the summit with an experienced mountain guide. This is exactly my job, to guide you along the way to a happier and more fulfilling life.

About me
Communication is key and a passion of mine.
I first studied a Master’s Degree in Translation and Interpretation which gave me the opportunity to live and work in different countries and to get to know different cultures and understandings of life.
While living and working abroad I came across many challenges and experienced the anxiety that goes hand in hand with leaving your comfort zone and experiencing change. Thus, I decided to take up my second studies to become a licenced psychologist. Until this day I put all my passion in continuous further formation in order to always be up to date about new scientific insights and therapy methods.
