Bodywork

As an artist on stage, it is essential for me to constantly improve presence and focus. Katharina manages in a fascinating way to dissolve physical and mental blockages with the bodywork. For me, this is the perfect support towards more lightness, liveliness and expressiveness.

In the sessions with Katharina I learned to feel myself again and to understand the signals my body sends me. I was able to completely relieve my years of eye twitching, numbness in my face and neck pain by relaxing my jaw. If tension in my life becomes too great again and my body signals me to “let go”, I now know what I have to do. For me this has created a completely different, positive attitude towards life, out of helplessness and into self-efficacy.

Breathing is a form of saying ‘yes’ to life. Bodywork is learning how to open yourself and be present. Deep breathing is exhausting and a decision. Breathing is addictive. I am excited for what comes next.

Bodywork is offering a new view to your body, a new way to observe your physical system and the connections in this system.

It is a process of getting involved – with oneself and with pain. You exposes yourself and your weak points, which you don’t really want to show, but you feel: “There is someone, who sees me.” Each session is a slow and steady process to integrate what you have learned into your life.

I learned to get to know my body better, changing exhausting patterns and feeling less pain, emotionally and physically. Bodywork supports me to be more healthy and enjoy being a body.

Sometimes the body has more to say than the mind, if you just let it. I often have to laugh how obvious it is what my body has to tell me. With this method you learn to understand the language of your body again. Not only do you take responsibility for your own well-being, but you also reconcile your mind with your body and strengthen your confidence in yourself.

Katharina managed to permanently change the way I felt about my body already during the first treatment. I was under massive stress at the time and was able to find out the true causes of my anxiety with her. It was an eye-opener for me that actually all my anxious feelings are stored in my body. After the treatment I felt much better and was not only able to look my fear in the face, but also to face it in a new way.

The combination of conversation, breathing and touch forms a holistic approach that I can only recommend. In a turbulent time Katharina and the bodywork sessions with her supported me to stay with me and to keep clarity and joy.

For many years I suffered from headaches, trembling (especially in the shoulder area), tension, eye pain and dizziness. I was also often anxious. Through breathing and a change of perspective I learned to listen more to my body and to perceive it more intensively. By interrupting my old patterns of action, I was able to relieve all symptoms. During the sessions I learned a lot about myself, got a new body feeling and feel silence in my head again.

I have learned to breathe and relax anew. After many years of chronic back pain, I can feel light and relaxed again and eliminate the thoughts and doubts in my head.

Working with Katharina was an incredible opportunity and blessing for me. Across the sessions, I released some deep patterns of tension and holding in my body. It was deep work which had a welcome and powerful impact on my relationship to my body and overall physical comfort within my body. Thank you for your skillfulness, intuition and knowing hands Katharina!

In working with Katharina, I have been able to learn to perceive my body consciously again, or finally, and to connect with it. From breathing to the perception of my emotions in my body. Since then I feel myself in a completely different way and work together with my body instead of against it. My awareness of my body has increased incredibly and has been raised to a new level. Katharina’s emphatic, open, relaxed and approachable manner was instrumental in helping me to quickly build trust and fully engage with the sessions. I can only recommend working with her and generally advise everyone to pay much more attention to their body.

Today I experienced the healing touch of Katharina. I arrived feeling stuck, blocked, heavy. I left feeling alive, soft, aligned and spirited. The space was set up intentionally. I felt safe and held immediately. I seldom get massages. I release fast, so whoever is holding space needs to let me release how my body needs to.

Katharina intuitively used the exact right oils for what my body needed. The pressure touch was in tune to what my body needed where. Towards the end, whilst she worked on my left foot, tears started flowing, gently. I took extra deep breathes in response to the touch, and let it flow. That moment was like releasing years of stuckness. My body responded to what it needed. Surrendering to this body wisdom knowing, felt so wonderful. I am deeply grateful for this experience.
