Procedure

What happens during a body therapy session with me?

An initial treatment session with me lasts at least 3.5 hours (extendable to a maximum of 4 hours on request). For process work involving several sessions, the session duration and treatment procedure can be individually adjusted. The times given in the following treatment procedure are approximate!

Arrival & preliminary discussion (initial treatment 60 minutes, follow-up treatments 30 minutes): I welcome you to my practice and we sit down in the consultation room with a cup of tea or a glass of water. We clarify concerns, boundaries, wishes, possible triggers, code words/hand signals, and your desired pace and questions regarding the treatment, and then set a common goal for the initial treatment.

Consent ritual
We confirm together: You are safe. You decide. Everything is voluntary.

Preparation for bodywork (15 minutes):

To ensure you feel safe and comfortable, you will shower before the bodywork. I have set up a beautiful client bathroom for this purpose, where fresh towels and first-class care products are available for your use. So you don’t need to bring anything with you. After your shower, you will put on a lunghi (a large cloth that you can tie around yourself). The lunghi will be removed during the treatment.

Spiritual full-body massage (90-120 minutes): I will accompany you to the treatment room, where you will lie down on a pre-warmed mattress. After a joint spiritual starting ritual, you will lie down on the mattress and the body treatment will begin.

The whole-body massage focuses on the energy flow of your body. The aim is to (re)connect the seven most important energy centers (chakras) of your body and allow them to flow naturally. This is the source of well-being and healing.

  • Slow, unintentional full-body touch,
  • holding positions for safety and regulation,
  • breathing/mindfulness prompts on request (without pressure to perform),
  • no fixed procedures—I follow your nervous system.
  • Intimate areas only on express request and after renewed consent.

You may pause, change, or end at any time. Your no is sacred. Your yes is too.

During the treatment, you should speak as little as possible. I may ask you questions about how you are feeling or give you small instructions, which you can answer with a few words or pre-agreed hand signals. Of course, you can say at any time if something does not feel right or if you need a short break to put a sensation or an inner image into words. It is normal to enter a trance-like state (which may feel similar to twilight sleep) during the treatment. If you feel uncomfortable, please let me know immediately.

At the end of the treatment, you can spend a moment in silence and slowly return to the here and now. I will provide you with a drink to refresh you.

Follow-up bodywork (15 minutes): We conclude the full-body massage with a shared spiritual ritual. Afterwards, you can shower again and get dressed.

Debriefing (15 minutes): Before we say goodbye, we sit down together again in the meeting room and reflect on the treatment. You can describe your feelings, inner images, and insights to me, and I can tell you what I perceived energetically and spiritually during the treatment. From my experience of hundreds of treatment sessions, I have learned that the quality of the treatment does not improve by “talking through” the impressions. Less is usually more.

If you still feel that you don’t have enough time because you want to discuss a specific topic immediately after the session, you can extend the debriefing for an additional fee.

I look forward to accompanying you. In silence. In touch. In your truth.

Menstruation

  • Menstruation is not an obstacle during a massage; on the contrary, it is often during this sensitive and open female phase that a deep connection with you is possible. Soft comfort tampons are available for you to use as needed.

Conditions

  • Please show up on time for the appointment so we can fully enjoy our time.
  • If you need to cancel or rescind, this is possible free of charge up to 48 hours in advance. Cancellations at short notice will be charged.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We start bigger, slower, with more support—as little as possible, as much as necessary.

Both are welcome. Deafness is respected, intensity is maintained. You don’t have to “perform” anything.

We slow down, stabilize, and integrate. Tears, trembling, silence—everything is allowed. You are not alone.

That varies from person to person. Some women feel significant changes after 1–3 sessions, while others prefer gentle support over several months.
