Heilpraktiker Berlin – Holistic Manual Therapy
“To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.”
— Andrew Taylor Still, Philosophy of Osteopathy (1899)
Seeing the body as a whole
Our bodies are constantly moving and changing. Breathing, movement, the nervous system and our internal organs are connected in a living exchange. What we feel in one part of the body may relate to another.
These connections have fascinated me for many years and continue to shape my work.
As a licensed Heilpraktiker, I combine my experience in traditional bodywork with anatomical and physiological knowledge and osteopathic principles. I try to see the person as a whole, rather than focusing only on isolated symptoms.
Every treatment is an encounter in which I respond with attention, openness and respect to what your body needs at that moment.
My approach – listening through touch
For me, touch is much more than a technique. It is a way to connect with the body, notice tension and better understand its movements and responses.
A treatment therefore begins with listening – both through conversation and through my hands.
Together we explore your concerns and possible connections. I then develop an individual approach that may include gentle mobilisation, fascial techniques and elements of craniosacral bodywork.
Rather than forcing a particular change, I aim to support the body’s capacity for movement, adaptation and regulation.
When might treatment be helpful?
Sometimes we seek support because of specific physical discomfort. At other times, we simply feel that something is out of balance.
People come to me with different concerns, including back pain, neck and shoulder tension, restricted movement, feelings of tightness around the hips and pelvis, and recurring tension-type headaches. Body-oriented treatment may also be worth considering for jaw discomfort associated with temporomandibular disorders (TMD/CMD) or teeth grinding (bruxism).
Not every concern can be addressed through manual treatment. Jaw complaints and recurring headaches may require dental or medical assessment. I recommend further evaluation when appropriate.
Space for an individual treatment
Every person is different, and our bodies change from day to day.
I do not follow a rigid routine. The focus and techniques depend on your concerns, your needs and what emerges during the session.
At your first appointment we discuss your health history and current concerns, followed by an examination and individually adapted manual treatment.
I want to offer a space where you feel heard and where we can explore a suitable way forward together.

Frequently asked questions
What happens during my first appointment?
We begin by discussing your concerns, health history and goals. This is followed by an examination and treatment adapted to your individual situation.
What concerns can I come with?
People seek support for back and neck discomfort, muscular tension, restricted mobility, tension-type headaches or jaw discomfort. Whether treatment is appropriate depends on your individual circumstances.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number. Depending on your concerns and how things develop, we can discuss whether further appointments would be useful.
What should I bring or wear?
Please wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. If available, relevant medical reports can be helpful. For your first appointment, please complete the intake form in advance and return it by email if possible. You can also fill it in at the studio.
Will my health insurance reimburse the treatment?
Treatment is invoiced privately. Some private health insurers, supplementary policies and Beihilfe schemes reimburse Heilpraktiker services fully or in part, depending on your policy. Reimbursement cannot be guaranteed. German statutory health insurance generally does not cover these services.
What is the difference between Holistic Treatment and Bodywork?
Holistic Treatment is healthcare provided within my Heilpraktiker practice. Bodywork is a non-medical offering focused on relaxation and wellbeing.
Can I book without a specific complaint?
Absolutely. You don't need to have a specific complaint to benefit from Holistic Treatment. Preventive care is an important part of my approach. A treatment can be an opportunity to become more aware of your body, address emerging tensions and support your overall wellbeing — rather than waiting until discomfort or symptoms become more persistent.
