Somatic Bodywork & Felt Sense in Berlin – Understand the Language of Your Body
Your body often already knows what your mind is still searching for.
In my somatic body journeys you learn to understand its language again: where does it pull, where does it open up, what wants to be felt right now? We enter into a dialogue with your body, this incredibly intelligent archive in which all your experiences are stored.
It’s not about achieving anything or doing it right. You’re welcome to arrive, feel in and get to know yourself a little better – entirely at your own pace.
"Our body is an incredibly intelligent archive. When we learn to listen to it, it tells us what we really need."

How I work
At the heart of it is Felt Sense: mindfully sensing into whatever is showing up in you right now. Depending on what you need, other tools come in too – shaking to release held tension, exercises for physical boundaries so you can feel where you end and others begin, or consciously feeling and embodying emotions. I guide you with my voice, with the breath and, if you like, with gentle touch – and at individual pain and tension points such as the diaphragm, sometimes with elements of deep tissue work. Many sessions work entirely without touch and are purely guided, which is why they also work online.
My toolbox keeps growing with every training and every encounter. What always stays the same: you set the pace, and nothing happens that you don’t feel comfortable with.
How body journeys can support you
strengthening your body intuition and trusting your gut feeling again
learning to read your body’s signals before they have to get loud
processing emotions that are still stuck in the body
feeling yourself again when you feel cut off or numb
As a session of its own or alongside breathwork
You can book a body journey as a session of its own or weave it into your breath session. A session lasts 60 minutes and is priced like a one-on-one session. You’ll find all the details on my prices page.
How a session works
After a short conversation we decide together which approaches feel right today. You lie or sit comfortably, and I guide you step by step into the perception of your body. Whether touch is part of it, and how much, is always your decision. At the end we take time to make sense of what you experienced, so you can take it into your everyday life.
Sessions take place at the Manoah Zentrum in Berlin-Kreuzberg or online, in English or German.
I work trauma-sensitively and in a resource-oriented way. Body journeys don’t replace psychotherapy or medical treatment.

Combine body journeys and breath.
The breath is the most direct bridge to your body. That’s why many body journeys begin with the breath – and in turn they enrich my breath sessions. If you’d like to work specifically on your breathing, for example with stress, sleep problems or shortness of breath, you’ll find everything on my breath therapy page.
Frequently asked questions about body journeys
What is Felt Sense?
Felt Sense describes a bodily sense of a situation or theme that often doesn’t have words yet: a pull, a tightness, a sense of space. The term comes from Focusing as developed by Eugene Gendlin. When we give this sense mindful attention, it can shift and show us what we need right now.
Do I have to be touched?
No. Whether touch is part of it, and how much, is your decision – before and during the session. Many body journeys are purely guided. When I do use touch, it’s usually gentle. Only when it fits and you want it do we work with firmer pressure on tension points.
How is this different from a massage?
A massage mainly works on the muscles. In body journeys, your inner experience is at the centre: you learn to perceive and understand your body’s signals. Touch can support this, but it isn’t the goal.
Does it work online?
Yes. Guided body journeys without touch work really well online. You need an undisturbed room where you can lie down or sit comfortably, a stable internet connection and ideally headphones.
