My way
My focus is on the body and the psyche - as they are naturally in balance. This includes numerous body-supporting approaches and techniques from my repertoire. Many of my clients have been confronted with medical trauma (interventions, operations), whiplash, accidents, their own birth or bonding traumas and already have a range of physical symptoms. The greatest gain in my work is to accompany clients in gradually regaining their ability to act and self-regulate their symptoms, overwhelming feelings and sensations.
In my work, I draw on my experience as a teacher and educator, my understanding of child development, my experience as a sociologist in qualitative research (Communication, Structure and Complexity Reduction in Cross-border Organizations), my expertise as a consultant for Internal Family Systems. As a doula, I have had many experiences with the medical system and its possibilities, as well as accompanying women who have experienced trauma or survivors of sexual violence.
I now pass on my passion for new knowledge, new skills and connections as a lecturer, author, course leader and event organizer.
