HolisticTouch – Bodywork, Heilpraktiker & Courses in Berlin

We often lead stressful lives, filled with appointments, obligations and constant pressure to perform. We rarely allow ourselves the rest we need, as taking a break is often seen as a weakness. Yet ongoing stress and insufficient recovery can affect the balance between body, mind and spirit.

Holistic bodywork offers an opportunity to pause, become more aware of our bodies and make space for relaxation and renewal. Although touch first meets us on a physical level, it can also speak to our experience as a whole.

While anatomical and physiological knowledge provides an important foundation for treatment in the Western world, touch, mindfulness and spirituality are closely connected in many traditional Asian forms of bodywork. Massage is also understood there as an extension of meditation practice and was traditionally offered in temples, among other places.

Beyond the techniques themselves, the state of mind in which a treatment is given plays an essential role. You can feel the difference between someone who is truly present and someone who is already thinking about their next holiday. For me, this quality of attention is central to my work, both in treatments and in courses and workshops.

My work brings this attitude together with different approaches to bodywork and therapy. It is rooted in Thai Yoga Massage and Chi Nei Tsang and enriched by craniosacral techniques, osteopathic principles and my ongoing osteopathy studies.

As a licensed Heilpraktiker (German alternative healthcare practitioner), I offer individual therapeutic treatments based on a health history, examination and each person’s circumstances. At the same time, Thai Yoga Massage, Chi Nei Tsang and Craniosacral Therapy remain an important part of my practice as treatments that can be booked separately. Mindful touch, relaxation and well-being are central to these sessions.

Depending on the treatment and individual needs, I work on a floor mat, on a treatment table or combine the two. Rather than following a particular method for its own sake, I aim to adapt the treatment to the person.

This openness also shapes my teaching. In my courses and workshops I share not only techniques, but also an understanding of mindful touch, conscious movement and the importance of being present.

'If you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything.' – Thich Nhat Hanh

Holistic Treatment

Learn more about my work as a Heilpraktiker →

Holistic Treatment is an individualized therapeutic appointment offered within my work as a licensed Heilpraktiker (German alternative healthcare practitioner). We begin by discussing your health history, current concerns and goals, followed by an assessment where appropriate. Treatment is informed by osteopathic principles and may draw on Thai bodywork, Chi Nei Tsang and craniosacral techniques. Rather than following a fixed sequence, I adapt my approach to your needs. Sessions may take place on a treatment table, on a floor mat, or use both. This is a separate therapeutic service, not a wellness-platform massage appointment.

Thai Yoga Massage treatment with supported stretching and bodywork

Thai Yoga Massage

Thai Yoga Massage is a holistic full body treatment. However, it is possible to put a focus on certain areas to address stiffness in the shoulders, lower back pain, hurting knees, etc. The massage will be performed dressed (loose and comfortable clothes are recommended). The goal of a Thai Yoga Massage Treatment is to balance the energy flow in the patient’s body. Different energy lines will be stimulated through acupressure and/or stretches. It is believed that Thai Yoga Massage originated from India and was brought to Thailand in the time of the historical Buddha where it was mixed and integrated with the local healing knowledge. As many of the stretches have strong similarities to Yoga Asanas it is also called Thai Yoga Massage.

Chi Nei Tsang

Chi Nei Tsang is a traditional form of abdominal bodywork. Using mindful touch and gentle, individually adjusted techniques around the abdomen, the session invites relaxation, awareness of the breath and a more comfortable connection with this sensitive part of the body. We discuss your comfort and boundaries before beginning, and pressure can always be adjusted or omitted. This standalone session is offered as non-medical bodywork for relaxation and well-being, not as a substitute for diagnosis or medical treatment. If you are seeking help for persistent abdominal symptoms or a medical condition, please seek appropriate medical assessment.

Craniosacral therapy with gentle support of the head

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a very gentle, hands-on bodywork approach that supports the nervous system and the body’s inherent self-regulation. Through subtle listening and light touch, restrictions within the craniosacral system — including the skull, spine, sacrum, and connective tissues — can soften and reorganize. A treatment can be beneficial for stress-related symptoms, headaches, sleep disturbances, emotional overload, and states of exhaustion, as well as to support recovery and integration processes. Because the work is slow and subtle, deep states of relaxation may arise, and emotions or inner sensations can surface naturally. Craniosacral Therapy is especially suited for people seeking a calm, non-invasive treatment that works on a deep and holistic level.
