Individual Sessions
I support women who want to step out of social functioning and inner suffering, and step into the experience of being fully alive in their body and in their relationships.
You might find yourself grappling with one or more of the following in your life:
Anxiety or a sense of emotional loneliness
Self-esteem struggles and a loud inner critic
Addictive tendencies or self-harming behaviour
Recurrent sadness, loss, or grief
Constant tiredness or depressive feelings
Anger outbursts or a feeling of not having access to healthy anger
Sexual fantasies alongside dissatisfaction
Chronic illness, such as arthrosis or lipidoses
Physical symptoms like tinnitus or stomach pain
Challenges in your personal relationships or in parenting
A lack of direction or purpose
In individual sessions, I guide you to recognize how your body and mind are trying to bring attention to parts of your life, or even your family history, that had to be suppressed or pushed into the background.
By making the messages of your subconscious, expressed through these symptoms, conscious, you begin to understand yourself more deeply. You learn to differentiate between what is truly yours and what is not, to recognize limiting beliefs you carry, and to develop the trust in yourself to follow your own path.
3 core principles
Trauma-informed: Trauma ripples through families, communities, and entire societies. It lives in both the body and the story. Healing requires working with both the somatic experience and the narrative. In our sessions, I blend verbal and non-verbal techniques to address states of dissociation, freeze, uncontrollable reactions, and behavioural patterns that keep you stuck.
UnShaming: Most approaches to healing are built on a hidden premise that something is wrong with you, and the goal is to get rid of it. In our sessions, we take on an unShaming lens, with the intention of learning to stop fixing yourself, becoming curious about yourself, and deeply understanding yourself. When you unShame, you bring consciousness to the wisdom from within.
Soul remembering: In our sessions, the intention is not only to bring you back to a “normal” state, but to inquire into the message of the symptoms you carry. What wants to unfold from within you? What makes you who you are? You are unique. You carry a seed within you, a potential strong enough to change your life path and the world. Now is the time to embody your true self.
A blend of verbal and non-verbal methods
Process work, including elements of parts work and role playing: Process work was developed as a continuation of the work brought forward by Carl Jung. This approach invites you to pay attention to your inner experiences and amplify them through movement and sound to access the unconscious. When your struggle and pain are met with a loving witness, someone who believes, validates, and supports without gaslighting or blame, you uncover the meaning, medicine, and wisdom from within.
Body work: The body is an integral part of process work, yet I also include additional body work practices to gather deeper information about the root of what keeps you stuck. One aspect is foot analysis, which offers insight into which elements of the body are activated when you bring up a topic and which are out of balance. In certain processes, nourishing touch through the gentle placement of hands on your hips or head can help release held tension or give you a clearer sense of your body boundary.
Energetic work: Your personal energetic field holds information about blocks, unprocessed emotions, and patterns in your life. This approach is very gentle and usually done while lying on a massage table, especially when a topic is highly charged, transgenerational, or requires integration. By sensing your energetic field, I describe what I perceive so that together we can connect it to your personal life experience and uncover the “missing links.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, most women who seek my support have already had experience with therapists or have an ongoing therapist. The approaches can complement each other. In some cases, I even receive referrals from psychotherapists who believe that incorporating the body can be a necessary next step.
-
You do not need any prior experience. In our first session, I give an overview of the methods. Based on the topic you bring, we start with the approach that feels most intuitive to you, and as we go, we can extend and combine the methods.
-
My commitment to you is deep transformation. This is why I work only in packages of 3 or 5 sessions, to be used within 3 months and 5 months respectively. Some clients, who are going through intensive transitions in their life, choose to meet weekly.
-
A session lasts 75 minutes. We begin with a 5–10 minute discussion about the topic you bring. Based on the topic and your experience with the methods, we choose an approach to explore it. Most sessions take place on the massage table, where I combine all three approaches: body work, process work, and energetic work. For some clients, however, the entire session can take place in chairs or on the floor.
-
Yes. In most cases, I find the work as effective online as it is in person. If you are not based in Vienna and I perceive that certain aspects could benefit from deeper integration, I may recommend practices such as connected breathing, osteopathy exercises, or Qi Gong to engage the body on a deeper level.
-
Absolutely. If you’re unsure, let’s connect. I’ll meet you where you are, and together we’ll explore whether individual coaching is the right next step.
