Somatic Bodywork Journeys
in Lisbon & Lagos

You don’t need more fixing or analyzing.
You need to feel again.

Do you notice yourself shutting down, disconnecting and holding yourself back?

Do you long to feel more aliveness, presence and pleasure?

What if your body was never the problem
- but the portal?

This work is for you, if...

You are not new to growth.

You've read the books, done the therapy and done the personal work.

 

You understand yourself and still you keep shutting down, disconnecting and suppressing yourself.

The same patterns return.

Your body shutting down.

A part of you holds back, no matter how much you want to let go.

Maybe on the outside life looks successful. You lead, you achieve, you show up.

And yet you feel something is missing.

A real sense of aliveness, deep connection and true intimacy - with yourself and with others.

You have a feeling that the missing piece is your body as that's the place where everything is stored:

Your story, your emotions, your power and your wisdom.

If you are ready to meet the parts and places inside yourself your mind can't reach: This work is for you.

In this work something begins to shift

You come out of your head and back into your body.

Your system starts to soften.
What has been held inside can begin to move.

Your body moves from shut down to turn-on.

You feel more sensitivity, pleasure and aliveness.

And with that, a deeper connection to yourself,
to your truth and your authentic expression.

This work supports you to:

𖤓 release stored tension and emotions
𖤓 feel more connected. alive & present in your everyday life
𖤓 experience embodied safety 
𖤓 reconnect with your unfiltered expression

𖤓 let go of pleasing, pretending and performing

"I had weekly bodywork sessions with Jana for an extended period of time last year, and it was one of the best investments I have made.

What really struck me was how she intuitively sensed where my body was at (which I imagine is also a product of her experience). There were times where I felt that I wasn’t making enough “progress” and tried to “move faster” to work through something… yet she guided me to move more slowly - and then the real breakthrough came.

 

I felt completely safe, supported and respected at all times, she creates a truly sacred environment for each session.

 

I do feel that building up week by week made a significant impact on what shifted for me - what wasn’t ready to “release” in a single session naturally started shifting by returning to the same, held space over and over until my body was ready

​On a practical note - a new romantic partner entered my life from one week to the next after a particularly powerful session, and a big bureaucratic process suddenly “lifted” at the same time.

 

I know that working with Jana was a big part of unlocking this. I’m grateful for being able to do this work with a high integrity person such as Jana, which really addresses layers that words cannot reach. Thank you"

What a sessions feels like

We begin by arriving.

A moment to slow down and to land in your body…
To connect to what’s alive in you.

To move from doing into being.

From there, we follow your body.

Through touch, breath, and awareness.
Your system has space to slow down.
And from there what has been held inside can start to move.

This is not a passive experience.
Your body is invited to participate - to feel, to express, to release or simply to be.

Everything happens at your pace.
Touch only with your consent.


Your body leads, I support.

You might experience emotions, sensations, insights or a sense of coming home to yourself.

At the end, there is space to integrate and to let the insights unfold.

Each session is unique and we follow what your body is ready for. 

Your body knows the way.

Testimonials
"I highly recommend the somatic body experience. I went from having pain in my whole body because of emotional trauma that was locked there for years to being able to open myself up, feeling my feelings and being able to stand up for myself again. Jana is a very sweet woman, who works without judgement and is able to create a safe space to explore all the good and the bad and then helps you transform it, so that you can be closer to yourself again and get out of survival mode"

"I had one Bodywork session with Jana so far and was absolutely stunned. I feel like there was so much safety for really allowing to feel what needed to be felt and to express what needed to be expressed that it nearly seemed like a trance state of acceptance. I was able to move some things in my body that I had been carrying on for a while and felt a sense of relief after.
Thank you Jana, see you next time"

"I received some bodywork sessions from Jana. Her approach of verbal communication combined with supporting touch felt very professional and healing. She is an empathic therapist and connected me deeply to my own body, being and wisdom.
Afterwards i felt stronger and closer to myself.
Jana created a very safe space. I felt held and seen. I highly recommend her and her work."

"Ich habe Jana in ihrer Arbeit sowohl in den Einzel-Bodywork Sessions als auch Gruppen-Workshops kennenlernen dürfen. ich habe mich immer absolut sicher gefühlt.
Jana begleitet diese Abenteuerreise zu mir selbst so achtsam und liebevoll. Sie lässt sich mit allem was ich mitbringe individuell ein und kombiniert flexibel und professionell ihre Kompetenzen. Ich darf da sein mit all meinen Unsicherheiten und ich darf meine Grenzen in meinem Tempo erforschen. Sie erkennt sehr gut, was der nächste Schritt ist, z.B mich mehr mit meinem Körper zu verbinden und auch was es für den nächsten Schritt braucht. Hierfür erschafft sie einen einladenden Heilraum und initiert für mich Möglichkeiten zu wachsen. Jana lädt mich ein, meinen Körperraum ganz einzunehmen und meinen Körper zu spüren, ihn zu entdecken..und das macht sie mit so viel Achtsamkeit und Feingefühl, dass ich mich trotz Ängsten und Schamgefühl gut darauf einlassen kann.
Körperlich so bewusst und achtsam berührt zu werden, berührt mich im tiefsten Inneren und öffnet Türen, löst Blockaden, die über Worte nicht erreicht werden können. Nach den Sessions mit Jana fühle ich mich so viel mehr in meinem Körper, fühle mich gestärkt und fühle mich lebendiger und verbundener und das auf so eine natürliche Art - einfach wunderschön. Ich spüre die Heilung, wie sie geschieht und wie sie wunderbar nachwirkt und sich auf andere Lebensbereiche auswirkt. Ich bin so berührt und dankbar für deine Heilungsarbeit, liebe Jana"
