"Once you approach your body with curiosity rather than with fear, everything shifts!"

Somatic Therapies for complex trauma, dissociative disorders and chronic illness
There is a very strong connection between our body and mind. If one gets out of balance it affects the other. For example if you have an accident and your body gets injured this will affect your mind and mental health and if you experience stress and mental challenges this will over time affect your body.
We all will have experienced some physical and mental challenges throughout our lives.
Some are small, some are huge. How they affect us is different for each of us.
If you are here, reading this, you are probably looking for some kind of support for the challenges that still trouble you. The challenges that didn't resolve by themselves and have become out of hand for you. You might have tried a variety of different things already or you are at the beginning of your journey of recovery. Wherever you are on your journey, whatever your challenges, we can discover together what you need at this moment in time.
My approach is a bottom-up approach with a focus on working through the body with the mind. A lot of our emotions, experiences and traumas are stored in our body. They change our brain and nervous system, they are held in our muscles and soft tissue, they affect our organs. They affect our whole being on all levels. To address this complex system I am offering a tool box full of therapies that I've found to bring fundamental changes and deep healing for myself and my clients.
To heal from years of held trauma , dissociation or chronic illness will take time but it is possible.
