Zenthai Shiatsu & Queer Bodywork in Berlin.

A session entirely tailored to what your body needs in the present moment. We begin with a spacious 5-10 minutes for you to settle in, check-in, and discuss your intentions and boundaries. This unhurried start ensures we create a safe, clear container for our work together. During the hands-on practice, I offer grounded touch, meridian work, and fluid movement, drawing from Zenthai Shiatsu and TCM principles. We follow what emerges, inviting your system to restore its natural balance and aliveness.

After the session, you'll have another 5-10 minutes to decompress, integrate, and enjoy a warm cup of tea. This gentle landing allows you to carry the benefits of the session smoothly back into your day.

Book a session

A 3- or 4-session program, because consistency signals to our body and brain it is safe. Regular sessions help to re-train our nervous system to feel supported, and this will directly affect your muscles and the rest of your body, too.

We start with a 2.5 hour session that allows for detailed intention setting and TCM-informed assessment (meridians, patterns, priorities). Three follow-ups deepen the work (120 min each, 1-2x weekly), supporting sustained change across physical, emotional, and mental layers.

3 sessions = €350
4 sessions = €450

Book a package

I have beautiful vouchers for 1:1 sessions or package deals. I can send them to you digitally. Paper versions are available for pick-up or I send them to you for a small surcharge.

The sliding scale is an invitation to engage in a practice of mutual support and community care. It's designed to be a guide, allowing you to choose a rate that feels sustainable for you while also honoring the value of the work and my livelihood. To help you determine where you might fall on the scale, consider the following:

• Higher End of the Scale: If you have stable income, or generally experience financial ease, choosing a higher rate helps to subsidize sessions for those with less access to resources.

• Middle of the Scale: If you have a steady income, you can meet your basic needs and have some flexibility, but significant extra expenses would be a stretch.

• Lower End of the Scale: If you are experiencing financial hardship, are unemployed or underemployed, have significant debt, are supporting dependents, or are facing systemic barriers to income, please choose a lower rate. This scale is here to support you.

Ultimately, this is an honor-system model. I trust you to assess your own financial reality and choose a rate that feels honest and sustainable for you. No proof of income is required.

Each month, I offer 2 sessions at a pay-what-you-can rate. Priority for queer and trans BIPOC.

• If you have the means, please pay the standard rate or more; this helps sustain my practice and supports low-cost spots for others.

• If you have limited resources, you're warmly welcome to pay what you can.

This is one way I try to practice the world I want to live in, where embodied care is not only for those with financial privilege. Read more about my values.

When you arrive for your session, ring the doorbell, and I'll greet you. You'll find our quiet ground-floor studio with large windows overlooking a garden. Please note there are a few steps at the entrance, and unfortunately, we don't have wheelchair access. If you have specific accessibility needs, please let me know when booking. The space can be fragrance- or incense-free upon request.

We'll begin by settling in, either seated or on the mat, with a brief grounding moment and a pronoun check-in. We'll discuss your intentions for the session and establish clear boundaries around touch, ensuring you feel comfortable and empowered to communicate your needs throughout.

The bodywork itself is performed on a futon on the floor, with you fully clothed (ideally in comfortable, loose-fitting long sleeves and pants; shorts and a t-shirt are fine in warmer weather). Drawing from TCM, acupressure, Shiatsu, and osteopathic techniques, my touch is varied and responsive to your body's needs. Sessions are mostly quiet, though I'll check in with you about pressure and comfort. We can adjust sensory elements like music, silence, blankets, weighted items, heat pads, or eye pillows to enhance your experience.

After the bodywork, you'll have time to rest on the mat, followed by a short check-in. I'll offer water or tea and discuss aftercare suggestions like gentle movement, journaling, or simply resting and hydrating.

• Late arrivals will still incur the full session charge.

• Cancellations require 24 hours' notice; otherwise, a €50 fee applies.

• All touch is strictly non-sexual.

You're already whole, already carrying the wisdom you need. Your body understands its story far better than I ever could. I'm not here to diagnose or explain your pain. I'm here to accompany you as you explore, to witness what unfolds, and to support you in ways that feel safe and accessible. My role is simple: to listen, to hold space, and to offer support through touch and movement.

Knowing our privileges, and recognizing the pressures of human made systems like capitalism and patriarchy, reveals how deeply external structures impact our bodies, our health, and our sense of self. I hold a deep commitment to making this work accessible, especially for those of us whose bodies are most impacted by racism, capitalism, cis-heteropatriarchy, ableism, and other systems of oppression. Our stories cannot be told apart from the historical and political landscapes that shape them, and our access to care is no exception. Because of this, I reserve two sessions per month at a pay-what-you-can rate. Priority for these sessions is given to queer and trans BIPOC.

What "pay-what-you-can" means here:

• If you have the means, I invite you to pay the standard rate, or more. This directly supports me in offering low- and no-cost care to others.

• If you are stretched thin, please reach out. For these sessions, feel fully welcome to pay whatever you can. No questions asked. I have absolutely been there. I see you, and I want you here.

I'm trying to do things differently in a world that often makes care conditional on income. It matters to me that this space exists for our communities. If it feels right for you, I invite you to join me in the complexity of building more equitable access to embodied care.

Healing is non-linear. It's a journey shaped by many things: sometimes flowing smoothly, sometimes circling back on itself. There will be ease, and there may also be setbacks. This doesn't mean you're failing. It's simply how life moves through us: shifting, cyclical, unpredictable.
Healing isn't something to "achieve" once and for all. It's an ongoing relationship with our body. My invitation is to meet that process with patience, curiosity, and compassion. And to remember that in all of its complexity, your journey is valid, and you are never alone in it.
Sometimes you may leave our session feeling lighter, freer, or more at ease. Other times the work is simply in staying with what is. Both are valuable, and both are part of the process.
