Working Statements
A space for you to be fully welcome
gender-conscious, body- and sex-positive, resource-oriented and trauma-sensitive
Working Approach
My commitment in working with you is to do my best to open up a safe_r space where you are fully welcome with your inner movements and questions that affect you and the parts of your being you want to show up with. There is nothing to achieve and nowhere you have to go. The process is fully oriented on your needs and wishes, putting into focus what it is that you want to learn. What parts of yourself you want to embody right now and in your future self?
My approach is processoriented. With open curiosity you are invited to make small steps into new and maybe unknown places. I do my best to accompany you in finding groundedness and courage to find the pathways that serves you and your development best. Every human being is a complex and miraculous wonder to me. In working with you I am dedicated in finding out together who and what it is you want to embody and become. This is an alive process always including a little portion of mystery to support that journey.
Positionality Statement
On a personal, professional and political level, free decision-making about the individual expression of gender, sexual identity and orientation is core to me. ALL bodies are welcome!
I state myself as a white, able-bodied person, socialized as male, identified as gender-nonconform, positioning myself somewhere on the queer spectrum. I use no pronouns/he/him or other depending on the context I am in. I grew up in a middle-class family in a small town in central Germany. I have a German passport and had access to academic education. I am the middle child of two more brothers. Both of my parents worked in a curtain shop, which my dad took over from his dad. I carry her-strory and his-story, I carry their stories in my bones, which shape and influence my sense of self that is in constant development and transformation. I aspire of becoming aware of my priviledges in order to take response-ability in the contexts and relationships I am moving with. I will make mistakes and I want to stay accountable to them. Beyond all ideas and concepts, I am dedicated to find the humanness (- and creative creatureness) that expresses through you and me and the bodies we are walking with.
On Accountability
A central part of my work is having awareness around priviledges as well as potential dynamics of power that are related to structural inequalities. I am aware that postions I am holding in socitety as well as a coach and (sexological) bodyworker influence our interaction and the client- practicioner relation ship. It is a deep heartfelt wish from mine to do my best to open a space for you to feel welcomed in all potential ways you choose to express through your being. You are more than welcome to contact me in a free pre talk for any kind of questions and uncertainties.
Furthermore if in any of your interactions with me you feel unheard, unseen or in any other way negatively impacted you may contact the Accountability Structures of the EASB or ACSB with your Feedback. For further Infos also have a look at accountability and ethical guidelines.
My work reflects the attitude that people cannot be seen independently of the systems in which they move and act. For me, working with the body always has a socio-political dimension and can include family, social, transgenerational levels. Basically, I state my work as gender-conscious, body- and sex-positive, ressource-oriented, trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive.the
