We start the session by discussing the issue or challenge you want to work on. Through attentive touch and guided awareness, we explore how you hold tension, breathe, and respond to stress, as well as emotions that are triggered when you talk about the issue.
We then work to drop or undo the the habitual patterns that show up in the body and allow space for something new and/or different to emerge.
For new clients, it’s essential we have a 30 min call prior to you booking an Intake Session.

The Grinberg Method works by increasing awareness of bodily sensations, tension patterns, and automatic responses.
At first, it teaches you to increase your body attention. After that and in a step-by-step proces the client is made aware of what they do, that creates discomfort, stuckness, beliefs, rigidity or even chronic symptoms.
Coming from the idea that we create a big part of our own physical and emotional state, I teach the client to take back their responsibility and agency.
By using touch, movement, and verbal guidance I teach clients to become aware of these patterns and responses and so to learn how to stop repeating the same reaction.

The Grinberg Method and Somatic Experiencing are both body-based approaches, but they differ in focus and intention. Somatic Experiencing is a therapeutic method primarily used to work with trauma through nervous system regulation.
The Grinberg Method is an educational approach that focuses on body attention, learning, and choice in how a person uses their body under pressure. Together with processing past events, the Grinberg Method works with present-moment physical habits and responses that have been ingrained out of a response to these events.
It’s worth trying both if you have the opportunity.

The Grinberg Method supports people dealing with trauma by focusing on present-moment bodily responses and sensations together with revisiting past events.
By learning about the patterns that have emerged out of the traumatic event and working with the experience on a physical and emotional level, the client is able to take back agency over their life.
