Transformative Bodywork

Become aware of unconscious patterns that may be playing out in your life and cause suffering. This work reveals experiential possibilities for transformation that only talking about it cannot create. Through touch, breath and conversation we can get out of limiting patterns/old protection strategies hence unfolding and living our individual qualities and choices of here and now. The work can be used for several layers of intention such as physical conditions, emotional or mental issues as well as practical projects. You can come with physical symptoms, or any topic you are navigating in your life that needs attention.

The methodology which I studied and which I mostly work with is called Transformative Bodywork, which is a somatic therapeutic modality. I completed the 3-year training with my teacher Sophie Kinkel (Berlin) in 2023. The work is very physical, at first gaze can even look like a form of massage therapy, with guided, conscious experience of physical sensations and following your desire for the session. The body can be seen as a big antenna that perceives itself and the world. Through trauma or cultural repetitions we numb and contract our bodies and lose the awareness for ourselves and range of options around us.

Together, we discover new perspectives of life patterns and habitual coping. Old protection strategies or belief systems that are no longer serving will reveal themselves, become conscious and can be integrated or released through the body, and by following the inner pulse of life. Energy can flow again. The energy that was previously invested in old tensions and habits is transformed in the process of letting go and can now be used for current goals. The integration and transformation of old, suppressed feelings brings a further boost of energy.  Integrity, love, relationships and inspiration as well as recovery become easier again. We work predominantly on the massage table, and sometimes with further movement practices in the room.

"receive more strength, calmness, freedom, love and inspiration"

"In a world filled with responsibilities, we often overlook our body's signals. Until we feel discomfort, unrest, anxiety. These are invitations to change."

"I lead the session for you and your intention with clarity and a huge heart."

“An Ideal companion to any psychotherapeutic modality - with Jana I could work on the physical body and then integrate this somatic experience into my psychological work - a total revelation!”
