Trauma-informed bodywork for men

My path was shaped by decades of therapeutic work and self-reflection, and by the desire to understand how burdensome experiences influence relationships, closeness and self-perception.

The experiences and the processing of my difficult past have taught me how sensitive closeness can be — and how important it is to give it space and time. These experiences are integrated and shape how I accompany others on their own path today.

This development has strengthened an attitude grounded in protection, empathy, warmth, reliability and humanity. Men who come to me experience care that expects nothing. Here, closeness and trust may emerge slowly and naturally again. Tantra massage can help you experience your own body again as a reliable and pleasant place.

Withdrawing from the body

Many men carry experiences within them that are rarely spoken about — deep traces of injury and alienation, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

To survive, many people withdraw from their bodies. The mind moves to the foreground: thinking, control and distance become protective mechanisms. The body, however, stores memories and feelings that can feel overwhelming and may resurface even when the original danger is long gone. This can create a split between mind and body.

I know these dynamics from my own experience — as someone who has experienced sexual violence and manipulative abuse of power, and who has learned to approach these experiences again with care. Every person has their own degree of vulnerability — and from that often grows a particular strength, depth and sensitivity of perception.

New awareness

I see my role as opening spaces in which men can meet themselves again in safety and dignity.

My work offers men the opportunity to gently reconnect: to experience the body not as a burden but as part of one’s identity, and to bring thinking and sensing back into contact. Touch can open access to what has remained intact despite everything.

Step by step

Survival itself is already an expression of strength.

Even if burdensome experiences remain part of your life story, they do not define who you are today. Every step that brings you closer to yourself again is part of a powerful path. Sometimes it begins with meeting someone who understands you and touches you within a safe framework — without wanting anything. This kind of closeness can loosen something that words often cannot reach.

Back into the body

My work offers a place where you are accepted with what is present right now.

Perhaps this can become the experience that touch can be something good again — without intention, without instrumentalisation, without abuse of power. And that you can, step by step, build trust in yourself and your body again — and reconnect the two.
