BODYWORK
A somatic approach to therapy
What I offer in 1:1 sessions is an in-depth conversation with all of what you are. I meet you with the believe and trust that you are the expert of your own life and your body has wisdom beyond what you can tell me by words.
I have a focus on somatic work and following are my thoughts on why touch is meaningful in a therapeutic process.
The Power of Touch: A Somatic Approach to Transformation
From the very beginning, touch is how we make sense of the world. It is our first language, carrying the imprints of memories, emotions, and experiences. When words fail, touch can speak—offering connection, reassurance, and reminding us that we are part of something larger.
Nervous System Regulation – Listening to the Body’s Voice
When you tune into touch, you begin to hear the deeper messages of your body. Instead of resisting or numbing intensity, you can gain capacity to stay present with it, recognizing it as a voice for what truly matters. Through attuned touch, the nervous system can find regulation, allowing you to gently revisit painful experiences so they can be integrated and transformed rather than suppressed. This slowed-down process can help you acknowledge and befriend the protective patterns that have shaped your useful and less-useful beliefs and behaviors.
When Touch and Words Align – A Somatic Dialogue
Awareness brings transformation. As you allow yourself to feel, name, and express what is happening in your body, new possibilities emerge. Beneath every tension, there is a story. Beneath every layer of protection, there is strength and desire.
In Pantarei bodywork, touch and words come together to form a living dialogue. Through this process, you can strengthen your ability to feel and express at the same time, deepening a sense of self-worth, purpose, and agency.
When reconnecting with your body’s wisdom, you open the door to a more aligned and empowered way of being.

What does a session look like
The first session will typically be a session where we get to know each other and for you to get familiar with the practice. I will ask questions about your topics and about your history.
Together we define intentions for the process.
We will most likely already do bodywork and slowly start a new path of relating with your body while processing thoughts and emotions.
A session can be hands-on or hands-of. Bodywork can look in many different ways and we will talk about this in the first session.
The first session is a time for both of us to assess if we will go on working together. The therapeutic relationship is as important as the methodology.

More about the background of my Bodywork approach
My trainings are based on a holistic approach to healing the psychological, spiritual, and physical. They encompasses a wide range of methodologies – from holistic, humanistic, and somatic psychology to contemplative and eastern healing practices. They also draws from a number of traditions that span thousands of years, from the earliest Vedic practices of ancient India to present day scientific research.
This approach recognizes that our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and attitudes can affect our biological functioning. Just as what we eat, our posture, the way we move, our relationships with other people and the environment impact our mental state. This is to say that every aspect of our life is in connection with one another.
The intention of my work is to support the processes of healing and transformation while working with every aspect of an individual- psychologically, psychically, spiritually, energetically, socially, and environmentally. This approach recognises the interwoven connection between these aspects of an individual and works in an integrative capacity to enhance vitality and well-being.
My approach to bodywork draws on:
Somatic / Embodied Psychology,
Contemplative Therapy,
Mindfulness,
Transpersonal / Eastern Psychology,
Internal Family System (parts work),
Somatic Experiencing (Trauma Therapy),
Somatic Stress Release,
Humanistic and Strength Based Therapy,
Gestalt Therapy,
Social Activism,
Focusing Technique,
MindBody Medicine,
Body-Mind Centering,
The Realization Processes and more.
