Bodywork literally means “body work”. It is a broad term: it covers many methods that work with the body through touch, movement, breathing and body awareness. It is not a single discipline and has no universal definition.
In my sessions I combine touch, movement, breathing, sound and vibration with the aim of releasing deep tension and regaining the mobility, elasticity and sensitivity the body has gradually lost.
You lie down in comfortable clothes and I work with touch, movement, breathing, sound and vibration. I go through the body looking for the areas that have stopped moving or have become disconnected from the rest. There I open a dialogue: I invite that part to move, I press, I accompany and, when needed, I provoke a movement the joint no longer dared to make.
There are intense moments and moments of deep calm. Many people enter a deep state between sleep and wakefulness; they stay conscious and can ask me to stop at any time.
Afterwards, many describe the feeling of coming back from a journey. Some notice the difference when they get up, others in the days that follow.
I guide the first sessions. Over time I invite you to take an active part, so that what you've learned stays with you.
A session usually lasts between 60 and 90 minutes.
Ideally, bring trousers that are as loose and comfortable as possible and, on top, a very comfortable T-shirt that isn't cropped or too tight.
As far as possible, the fewer accessories (necklaces, bracelets, piercings, etc.), the better.
No. You don't need a clear goal or to be able to explain exactly what is going on. It is enough to be curious about trying something different and open to whatever may happen.
Not necessarily. It’s not talk therapy, it’s bodywork: talking isn’t ruled out, but it isn’t the main focus.
Yes, they can. Body and emotions are closely connected: when something releases, an emotion may surface or a forgotten sensation may return. It is part of the process, and there is room for whatever comes up.
My way of working has grown out of several somatic disciplines, including the Ilan Lev Method, Myofascial Release, trigger point therapy and breathwork. I don't apply one technique after another: what matters is not the technique itself but the possibilities it opens up in your body. You can read more under the method.
It is a bodywork method created by Ilan Lev, who drew among other things on the Feldenkrais Method. While you lie on the table, I move your body passively with rhythmic, flowing movements. These movements invite muscular tension patterns to let go and help restore the communication between parts of the body that has been lost through injuries, habits or emotional strain.
Fascia is the tissue that surrounds and connects muscles and organs. Myofascial Release works with slow, sustained pressure and stretching on the fascia to free stiff or stuck areas and restore movement.
Trigger points are knots of tension in a muscle that can hurt on the spot or somewhere else in the body. With precise manual pressure, the muscle can release them and relax completely.
Breathwork is work with conscious breathing. Breathing directly affects the nervous system: changing the way you breathe can calm you, release tension and open up areas of the body we barely feel.
Many people come with tension in their back or neck that keeps returning, stiffness or constant tension that won't let them rest. Many say that afterwards their body feels looser, they breathe more calmly or sleep better. And sometimes something else appears: a new connection with their own body.
No. Bodywork is not medical treatment and does not replace a doctor's diagnosis or therapy. If you have an injury or illness, or are pregnant, let me know before the session and, if needed, check with your doctor first.
It depends on the person. As a starting point, I recommend working in blocks of six sessions. The greater mobility is already noticeable when you get up from the table, and other changes show up over the following four to eight weeks as the body reorganises. After the first session we decide together whether it makes sense to continue, and how often.
Usually not, but if it is necessary I can make an exception and come to your home. Write to me and we'll talk about it.
English, German and Spanish.
Write to me through the contact form or on WhatsApp. Tell me what you would like to work on (it doesn't have to be clear) and we find a time.
