Nervous System Regulation & Somatic Coaching
You might have been running on empty for longer than you can remember.
You're exhausted but can't sleep properly.
Doctors shrug and suggest it's stress, or maybe you should try yoga. Your body hurts in ways that don't show up on scans.
You may have tried talk therapy - hell, you've talked yourself hoarse - but your nervous system didn't get the memo that you're "working through things."
There's this constant low-grade hum of anxiety. Or maybe it's numbness. Or rage that has nowhere to go.
Your body feels like a stranger, or a prison, or both.
This is what happens when your nervous system gets stuck in survival mode.
And talking about it - while helpful - won't unstick it. You need something else.
Somatic Experience Coaching?
It's not therapy. I'm not a therapist, and this isn't psychotherapy.
But what we are doing is working directly with your nervous system through your body.
Talk therapy works in the thinking part of your brain, the cortex - where stories and logic live.
But trauma and stress don't always live there. They show up deeper - in your brainstem, in your autonomic nervous system, in the body patterns and sensations that formed to give you safe long before you could explain what was happening.
This work helps your body start to unwind those patterns, one gentle step at a time, so regulation and safety can return naturally.
And this is where my background as a physiotherapist with over 10 years of experience actually matters. I understand anatomy, pain pathways, and how the body compensates when it's been under stress.
I track what's happening in your nervous system through subtle cues - your breathing, posture, and the way you organise yourself in space.
I place close attention to what's happening in your system and will always suggest a medical check if something seems outside the scope of nervous system work.
Why Somatic work
When Talk Therapy isn't enough...
What this looks like in practice
- Learning to track sensations in your body (the tightness, the heat, the numbness - all of it)
- Understanding what your nervous system is actually doing (and why)
- Building capacity to be with uncomfortable feelings without getting overwhelmed
- Finding resources that help you regulate (and I don't just mean breathing exercises)
- Unpacking how food and nutrition affect your nervous system states
- Following what comes up for you in the moment - there's no set program because your body knows what it needs
Some sessions we'll talk a lot. Some sessions we'll barely talk at all.
Sometimes you'll cry. Sometimes you'll laugh. Sometimes you'll just notice your feet on the floor and feel something shift.
How Sessions Work
Coaching SErvice
Sessions are 50-60 minutes, typically via video call (though in-person may be possible depending on location in Frankfurt).
We start where you are. Maybe that's "I'm in pain and nothing helps." Maybe it's "I don't feel like myself anymore." Maybe it's "I'm fine but I'm holding it together with duct tape and spite."
All of it is welcome.
What's included:
* Psychoeducation about your nervous system (so you understand what's happening)
* Somatic practices you can use between sessions
* Guidance on how nutrition affects your nervous system states
* Space to let whatever needs to emerge, emerge
What's not included:
* Diagnosis or treatment of medical/psychiatric conditions (that's therapy, and I'm not a therapist)
* A predetermined program (your nervous system leads, I follow)
* Pressure to "fix" yourself (you're not broken)
Pricing
Each session: €100
My sliding scale spots (starting at €50) for those in genuine financial hardship are currently full, but if cost is a barrier, please contact me to be added to the waiting list.

Want to learn more first?
Join my mailing list - I send regular emails about nervous system regulation, living in Germany as an expat, and how to befriend your body again.
Plus you'll be the first to know when I'm running workshops.
Still not sure?
That's completely normal. Your nervous system is doing its job by being cautious. Read through my About Page to get a sense of who I am, or drop me an email with questions.
A note on workshops: I'm developing group workshops for 2026 - somatic circles, nervous system basics, working with chronic pain.

This is the work beneath the work
The nervous system can't settle when you believe your worth is tied to what you produce or provide. When rest feels dangerous. When being present feels like it's not enough.
More than teaching and practicing techniques, somatic experiencing-based coaching is about V.'s nervous system meeting mine - co-regulating while hers learned it could exist outside of survival mode, while she learned a different way of being human.
Frequently Asked Questions
It's impossible to say upfront - it depends on what you're working with and what feels right for you.
Most people find that 4-6 sessions gives enough time to build nervous system capacity and start noticing shifts, but some people need more and some need less.
We'll check in regularly about what's serving you, and you're free to pause or stop whenever you need to.
Only if and when you want to. Somatic Experiencing informed coaching works with what's happening in your body now, not with rehashing your history.
That's incredibly common, especially if you've been in survival mode. We'll work with exactly that - the numbness, the disconnection, wherever you are.
No. I'm not a therapist, and we're not doing psychotherapy. Instead, we're working with your body and nervous system, not diagnosing or treating mental health conditions.
