MOVE TO HEAL TRAUMA

1:1 Coaching Sessions & Embodiment Studio

​

 

​

​

The Approach

​

This is a space to soften.
To rebuild.
To remember who you are beneath the pain.

Healing does not happen through force.
It unfolds when the body feels safe, heard, and supported.

From this place, you can begin to restore:

  • a sense of peace

  • emotional resilience

  • a feeling of wholeness and connection

​

Why Coaching Matters

​

There are moments in life when something no longer works.

You feel it in subtle ways — a lack of direction, a quiet dissatisfaction, a sense of being disconnected from yourself.
Or it arrives more suddenly — through loss, transition, burnout, or crisis.

In these moments, we often try to think our way out.
But clarity does not come from thinking alone.

Coaching creates a space where something deeper can emerge.

​

Why Coaching is Important

​

Because most of us are not truly listening to ourselves.

We move fast.
We adapt.
We respond to expectations, responsibilities, and external pressures.

And slowly, we lose connection with:

  • what we really want

  • what we feel

  • what is true for us

Coaching interrupts this pattern.

It creates a moment to pause, to listen, and to return to yourself.

​

​

The Power of Coaching

​

Coaching is not about advice.
It is not about being told what to do.

It is a process that helps you:

  • see clearly what you could not see before

  • reconnect with your inner direction

  • move through fear, confusion, or resistance

  • take aligned and conscious action

When combined with somatic awareness, coaching becomes even more powerful.

Because the body holds what the mind cannot resolve.
And when the body is included, transformation becomes real, grounded, and sustainable.

​

​

Why Everyone Can Benefit from Coaching

​

Not because something is wrong.

But because something is ready to change.

Coaching is valuable when:

  • you are at a crossroads

  • you feel stuck or disconnected

  • you want to make a decision but cannot access clarity

  • you are ready to step into a new phase of your life

Or simply:
when you want to live with more awareness, alignment, and intention.

​

​

What Coaching Makes Possible

​

  • clarity where there was confusion

  • movement where there was stagnation

  • confidence where there was doubt

  • connection where there was disconnection

It brings you back to a place where you can act from yourself — not from fear, habit, or expectation.

​

A Different Way to See It

​

Coaching is not about becoming someone else.

It is about removing what is in the way
of who you already are.

​

A Gentle Reminder

​

You don’t need to be in crisis to begin.
And you don’t need to identify with the word “trauma” to benefit from this work.

This space is not only for moments of breakdown —
it is also for those subtle places where something feels unclear, blocked, or not fully alive.

It is for anyone who senses that something within is ready to shift, open, or be listened to more deeply.

​

You don’t need to be in crisis.
You don’t need a label.

You only need to be ready to listen.

My Short CV

Dance Pedagogue | Trauma-Informed Movement Facilitator | TRE® Provider | Certified Yoga Teacher

I am a certified ICF coach, dance pedagogue, and trauma-informed movement facilitator with over 25 years of international experience in the fields of bodywork, performance, and embodied healing. My work is rooted in a deep understanding of the body as a site of memory, transformation, and empowerment.

My approach is integrative and multidisciplinary, combining my background in contemporary dance and somatics with therapeutic yoga, Butoh, and nervous system regulation. I am a certified TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) provider and Hatha Yoga teacher, specializing in trauma-informed and restorative practices. My teaching emphasizes embodied awareness, emotional safety, consent, and presence—creating spaces in which people can gently return to their bodies, release tension, and access inner resources for resilience.

A central influence in my work is Butoh, the Japanese avant-garde dance form that explores the body’s expressive and subconscious dimensions. I studied and practiced Butoh intensively for five years in Japan, engaging with both traditional and experimental lineages. For me, Butoh is not only a performative art form, but also a powerful tool for somatic inquiry, inner exploration, and healing.

In parallel to my Western somatic and artistic education, I have conducted extensive fieldwork and experiential research in India, Nepal, Bali, and Japan. My studies in these regions include Eastern philosophies, Vipassana meditation, Tibetan Buddhism, and subtle body practices. These influences deeply inform my holistic understanding of embodiment—not only as a physical process, but also as an energetic, emotional, and spiritual one.

My courses offer participants a unique blend of structure and freedom, sensitivity and depth. My work is informed by decades of teaching and holding space for diverse individuals—artists, trauma survivors, seekers, and anyone longing to reconnect with the intelligence of the body.

At Somatische Akademie Berlin, Tanzfabrik Berlin, and in my private practice, I lead a number of core offerings, including:

  • Embodied Release – a movement-based process for regulating the nervous system and supporting emotional release

  • Dancing Tigers (TRE®) – group sessions focused on shaking, grounding, and restoring balance

  • Unlock: The Pelvic Power Within – a body-based approach to releasing trauma stored in the pelvis and reconnecting with core vitality

  • Neuro-Move – movement exploration for re-patterning the body and awakening neuroplastic resilience

  • Somatic Butoh – a poetic and introspective practice drawing from Butoh, somatics, and ritual movement

Through these practices, I invite people into a space of honest embodiment—where movement becomes a language for listening, healing, and transformation.

​

Healing isn’t automatic.
It starts when we find the courage to take back our lives from pain. By fully feeling and gently releasing our stories, we open the door to reconnecting with ourselves and awakening a deep compassion for who we are and those around us. And in that moment, we feel the pulse that activates our inner will to change—a powerful push on the starting button that leads us into action, grounding us in the future, aligning our whole being, and shifting us completely from feeling like victims to becoming changemakers and solution seekers..
