For people who support others
Embodiment Training
For coaches, trainers, therapists and consultants: embodied change work, safe and effective, from self-experience to guiding others. In small groups in Potsdam or as an in-house format.
What it is about
Methods work as deeply as you embody them
The toolbox is full, and yet much stays on the surface. Because embodiment is not another tool, but a current that can flow through everything you do in coaching, training and consulting. Every method works to the extent that you have embodied it yourself: first become the brush, then use the brush.
That is why my training courses are consistently experiential: everything is tried out in your own body. Self-experience as the basis for safe, effective guidance. Theory comes as a “scientific package insert”, exactly to the extent that it serves practice, grounded in stress and trauma research, polyvagal theory and embodiment research.
And because your clients and groups are different, you learn not only exercises but what lies beneath them: the principles that let you adapt any exercise to your style, your process and your target group.
The flagship
Embodiment in Coaching & Training
Safe and effective embodied change work, an intensive training for experienced practitioners. You go through the whole arc yourself before you guide it:
01
Awareness as the foundation
Perceiving what is, on the levels of body, breath, feeling and thought. The stronger the awareness, the stronger all techniques work.
02
Stress regulation that works immediately
From acute release to a coordinate system of ground, letting go and uprightness, a regulated “state zero” that gives your work a different quality.
03
Intervention begins within
Your own regulated nervous system is the first and quietest intervention; it gives the other person safety before a word is spoken.
04
Fear as an emotion of change
Recognizing the four fear responses, understanding the individual fear signature and dissolving it through movement, from reacting to choosing.
05
The body as an organ of decision
Physical yes and no, work with distance and space: the body provides information that no pro-and-con list can.
06
Authentic expression
Congruence of inner and outer as the strongest form of communication, from feeling and precise naming to embodied expression.
This includes the questions from your practice: How do I introduce the unfamiliar in skeptical groups? How do I work with resistance and real voluntariness in corporate contexts? Where is the line between coaching and therapy, and how do I work in an embodied way online?
“First become the brush, then use the brush.”
Three directions
For your work
Coaches & therapists
Embodiment in one-to-one work: perceiving and sharing somatic markers, giving space instead of holding or rescuing, meeting more deeply.
Trainers & consultants
Embodied methods for groups: stress regulation in training, dealing with resistance, authentic expression in leadership communication.
OD consultants & in-house practitioners
Peer consultation and training on multi-year change processes, from clarifying the assignment to measuring effectiveness.
Setting & formats
Small, intensive, practical
Training courses take place in small groups in my practice in Potsdam, as one-day or multi-day formats, and are also offered in-house for institutes, teams and training groups.
Each format comes with detailed follow-up material: all exercises as step-by-step instructions, the underlying principles and sources, so that what you learn flows directly into your practice.
Voices from training
What participants say
“The many aha moments were especially valuable. This understanding helped me bring more clarity and calm into my emotional world, and develop more compassion for myself. Thanks to the calm, empathetic and at the same time structured approach, I felt safe and seen at all times.”
— Jacqueline, workshop participant (translated from German)
