I guide women & men back into their bodies and couples into deeper intimacy with each other and themselves.

​

Back into aliveness, truth and unapologetic self expression.​

​

I am devoted to the path of embodied liberation and to the reclamation of the wild force inside our bodies, which was never supposed to be shamed, silenced and suppressed.

​

I believe we don't need more processing, endless healing and fixing.

We need more embodiment and permission to become more of who we already are.

​​

My work is not something i offer.

It is something i live, practise and research every day.​

​

Let me tell you a bit more about my journey.

My journey

My journey began 16 years ago during one of the lowest points in my life.

I was struggling with bulimia, emotional numbness and deep shame.

​

I felt deeply disconnected from myself, my body and others.

​

Yoga and Vipassana meditation were my first entry points.
But they were only the beginning.

​

For years, I lived in survival mode.
Disconnected from my body, my pleasure and my aliveness.

​

I was the “good girl”.
Pleasing. Performing. Waiting to be chosen. Abandoning myself for love.

But inside i felt empty and numb.
I was unable to allow the intimacy I deeply longed for.

​

I was completely cut off from my sexuality and my desires.
The bedroom became a place of performing and enduring, instead of feeling.

​

But deep down there was something in me that knew:

There has to be more.

That knowing changed everything.

 

​I began to explore deeper through conscious movement, somatic bodywork, nervous system work, tantra and temple arts.

​

And slowly, something started to open.

Not through forcing or fixing, but through feeling and allowing.

​

Over the years, I devoted my life to this path:

Coming back into my body.

Reclaiming what had been silenced.
Reclaiming my emotions.

My pleasure.
My truth.

My eros
My expression.
My aliveness.

My turn-on

​​​​

Learning to feel again and to trust my body.

Experiencing that it's safe to be myself.
To stop abandoning my truth.

​

This path continues to shape me and it’s the foundation of the work I now share.

My work today

Today I guide women, men and couples back into their bodies and into deeper intimacy with themselves and each other.

​

My work is rooted in Embodiment, Somatics, Tantra, Temple Arts and nervous system work.

​

But more than any method it's about creating a space, where your body feels safe enough to open.

​

A space, where you can experience that it's safe enough to be yourself and to be in connection.

​​

You might resonate with my work, if you are longing for: 

​

𖤓 Less processing, more permission

𖤓 Less fixing, more aliveness

𖤓 Less catharsis,  more capacity

𖤓 Less pleasing, more pleasure and play

𖤓 Less analyzing,  more expression

𖤓 Less over-thinking, more feeling

​​​​

I don’t push you out of your comfort zone.

I support you to create the safety your body needs to meet the edge.

​

I don't believe in rigid structures and performative "love and light" spirituality.

​

I stand for truth, authenticity and fully embodied self expression.

​​​

Not to become someone new, but to embody  fullness of who you already are.

​

Your body leads, i support.

What clients say about my work

"Now I'm myself again. Safe. - That's my thoughts after my first somatic bodywork session with Jana. She held the space for me and supported me so clearly and lovingly as I gave my body permission to speak and courageously listened to its wisdom, allowing to unfold and let issues resolve on their own. After every session, I feel grounded and have new tools to powerfully remind myself of my truth in everyday life. I can wholeheartedly recommend Jana!"
