My Services
Therapeutic Massages and Body-Reading Sessions.
In the middle of nature, in the comfort of your home, somewhere at the beach, in the outdoor- or in my therapy-studio; you choose where you want to receive your treatment. The environment as well influences the therapeutic process and helps me to create an unique memory for you.
For the treatments i use techniques of the Japanese Shiatsu-Massage, Calatonia (soft touch), Cupping, Fascia-Massage, Joint-Release techniques.
For the Body-Reading i deeply trust my intuition and knowledge in the evidence-based somatic Psychotherapy Bodynamic.
Somatic Psychotherapy and Family Constellation.
My work is focused on Trauma-Therapy. Trauma often shows up through destructive pattern, visible in impulsive behaviour that effects the relationships with others and yourself. Once in the past maybe, this were useful strategies to cope with trauma. In the present life this strategies are often useless or/ and even harm your current relationships.
To be able to decide flexible between the variety of strategies to cope in relationships with others, new resources need to be built up and trauma integrated;- embodied. In that case, the traumatic experience makes part of the personal skills. The learning process starts in the body. A child first touches an object driven by curiosity. Just in a later stage of it´s development it names the object and it´s relationship towards it. Body-Integration cames before the mind, grasping before understanding. The body is our first tool when we confront past traumatic experiences. Body sensations are concrete and by analysing, naming, feeling, moving and rooting them in a save environment and in contact with a specialized therapist, body- wisdom can be activated and supporting the integration of trauma. Family Constellations and hereby systemic therapy according to it´s founder Bert Hellinger help me to find the root of a pattern, the blockade that works transgenerational in a family system until it´s released, through acceptance, love, inclusion, forgiveness etc.
Retreats, Workshops and Ceremonies.
In this events, I like to bring people together that have a similar mindset and willing to share intensive experiences that impact body, mind and spirit.
Conscious Bodywork with tools of the somatic Psychotherapy Bodynamic approach and different dances, like Butoh, Contact Improvisation and Matridança (Dance of the Matrix), that embraces different ancient dances of the divine female and other movement practices of embodiment.
Rituals, meditations and other kind of dynamics in my retreats, workshops or ceremonies are adapted to a specific topic or even can be booked individual for a group, for example a stag night. I adapt to the clients individual wishes. My purpose in any kind of a event is, a save embodiment that permits a integration of past memories to face the present life with new resources and that work as well in the daily life. Retreats, Workshops and Ceremonies take place in cosy Bed and Breakfast Quinta´s in the centre of Portugal.

ABOUT ME
My path started at an art school...
Before I made my way as a therapist, I studied Fine Arts in Italy, Spain and Portugal. Even before I decided to study art, I was thinking to study psychology, but the study- content seemed so unreal to me- dry stuff to re-program the brain. When I drew the models at the art school, i focused a lot at their emotional world and tried to read them; their thoughts, wishes and sensations. Later, my body was involved more and more in my art and I began to learn about myself through embodiment practices that lead me into the study-field of somatic psychotherapy.
