THERE IS NO WAY
THROUGH THIS LIFE BUT
THROUGH THE BODY
What is Somatic Coaching?
Somatic Coaching uses body-centered practices to teach clients to sense & regulate their own physiology, guiding them back to resilience, equanimity, and a sense of agency.
This includes developing more internal and external resources, building trusting and co-regulatory relationships, learning to turn inward with compassion, being invited to connect more deeply with the body, and being given time and space to process trauma.
Somatic coaching is a "bottom-up" approach—prioritizing embodied practice over cognitive reflection. Through the integration of body awareness, breath, movement, and touch—it facilitates transformative experiences and offers the opportunity to reshape limiting beliefs, and nurtures new behaviour patterns.
Somatic Coaching can support you in:
-
navigating life transitions
-
processing grief
-
managing anxiety
-
expanding your sense of safety, pleasure & aliveness
-
enhancing the relationship with yourself & others
-
reaching your goals
-
cultivating confidence & resilience
My Approach
It’s not how deep you go, it’s how you go deep — Ida Rolf
This quote from biochemist and founder of the Rolfing method, Ida Rolf, beautifully illustrates my approach to coaching:
Beyond all the fantastic somatic practices and modalities available to us, the linchpin of my coaching will always be relational in nature. This means the relationship between you, your body, and your inner wisdom is at the center of the work.
I will guide you to trust your inner voice, understand and harness the language of your body, and hold space for your insecure, wounded parts—so you can build an unshakable bond with yourself and become your most authentic and liberated self.
In our coaching relationship, I am committed to fostering an honest and genuine exchange built on mutual respect and trust. I believe growth happens most naturally when we feel truly seen, heard, and understood. I will attune to your needs and pace and support you in strengthening your sense of agency.
I am here to remind you of your unique brilliance, guide you to unearth your inherent wisdom, and support you in stepping into your power with confidence and joy—so you can create the life you desire.
As you explore your connection with yourself, this work naturally extends to your relationships with others and the world around you. In addition to Somatic Resourcing, I work with the modality of Authentic Relating. Through Authentic Relating and Somatic Coaching, you'll learn to navigate intimate relationships with more grace, set healthy boundaries, and handle conflicts more skillfully. This means you will complete your coaching journey not only with a deeper relationship with yourself but also equipped with tools to create fulfilling relationships with those around you.
Together, we will uncover the truths that are already within you, allowing you to step into your power with clarity and confidence.

Intro Session
It all starts here, with a 30-minute introductory meeting. This gives us the opportunity to get to know each other—you will learn more about my coaching approach and I get to know your goals. I charge 30€ for the introductory meeting, paid in advance. If we both decide to work together, the amount will be deducted from the amount of your first session. Sessions take place online via Zoom, in English or German.
I look forward to getting to know you!
Commitment
There is no quick fix for integrating and embodying new thought and behaviour patterns. In my experience, profound work like this requires time, patience, and consistent practice. This is why I ask for a commitment of 6, 8, or 12 sessions—to allow the process to truly take root.

“I went for somatic coaching with Janina to reconnect with feelings that I could not access through talking therapy. Although I felt pretty insecure within myself at first, I’ve felt held and supported right from the start. Janina has a very sensitive & calm presence when holding space which made it easy for me to open up and let myself be with whatever came up. On the basis of the different practices and movement sessions I was able to reconnect with my ability to experience pleasure, ease & flow. We focused mainly on dance and movement to music while working through my personal topics, and I loved that Janina always prepared individual playlists for me. Her instructions during the exercises were encouraging and empathic, so I was able to find my flow easily thanks to her. I had the impression that she put a lot of love in the preparation and follow-ups of our sessions and was very involved with my topic. If you ever wanted to try a coaching that goes beyond talking, I can warmly recommend you to work with Janina!”
Mia, 6 months of Somatic Coaching
“I chose to have somatic coaching with Janina intuitively after experiencing a profound trauma earlier this year, just in the middle of adapting to life in a new country. My intuition proved once more to never fail me: Janina holds space with warmth, earnest kindness, and beautiful empathy. She tailored each session to help regulate my nervous system, with enough flexibility to adjust based on how I was feeling, and gave me multiple useful tools that I’ll carry with me forever. Dancing was included – and, thanks to the comfortable space that Janina creates, I saw myself transition from the first self-conscious moves to letting go completely and having fun while working through different emotions.
One of the most powerful encounters we had was in connection to a closure ritual that Janina offered and kindly guided me through, and which I can say marked a before and after in my grief process. Throughout our time together, Janina felt like a healing sister presence, a beautiful, open-hearted soul that one can trust to help navigate difficult times. I am thankful to have found Janina, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a sensitive, kind, and well-prepared coach.”

“I did the coaching to improve my emotional regulation and find better ways of handling challenging emotions. I also wanted to feel more confident in conflict situations and learn to express my needs, especially in my partnership.
Through Janina's guidance, I have learned to meet my emotions and needs with compassion and kindness and that acceptance is the key to being able to work with them. Every emotion has its right to exist and I can always choose serenity. I can take my inner child by the hand and give us both security in difficult moments.
Janina was both empathetic and understanding, consistently attuning to my emotional state during sessions. She made me feel seen and supported, always offering ample space for me as an individual.
I can recommend coaching with Janina to anyone who would like to find/strengthen their connection to their inner self through somatic practices & reflective processes.”
Caro, 6 months of Somatic Coaching & Authentic Relating
“I think you held the space really well as a facilitator and I felt very well taken care of and seen. Your honest, open nature and your warm and welcoming presence gave me the feeling that everything was welcome and allowed to be just as it is.
I especially enjoyed the guided awareness and somatic exercises. Your voice in combination with the selected music was honestly amazing!
The course as a whole was very well thought out, structured and also perfectly balanced in terms of the individual elements. Personally, I liked the somatic practices and the theoretical parts (nervous system education) the best, but of course I also had my biggest personal challenges and resistance with the partner exercises.
Nevertheless, in the end it was a great blend, as I was lured out of my comfort zone from time to time, yet in between there was always time to let go and relax. You also have a good sense for the group and the individual energies and responded very well to everyone.
I was especially happy about the appreciative words from you in the last session! In fact, after the first time I had to stop the Genius Game because of my blockage, I felt really bad and totally ashamed and even the second time there was still a residual negative feeling. The fact that you showed me that it's ok to say no and set boundaries was a super valuable & empowering message for me in the end!”Aliza, Conscious Communication & Somatic Intelligence Training (6-week group course)
“What stood out to me in Janina’s sessions was the somatic ‘arrival’ exercises that grounded us before each session. Janina’s ability to adapt to everyone’s needs made the experience feel personalised and deeply supportive.
As someone with ADHD/autism, I greatly appreciated the clear PDF notes Janina provided after each session. This allowed me to stay fully present without the stress of note-taking, which often distracts me. Her organised approach made it easier to integrate the practices into my daily life and remember key moments.
Janina’s openness about being neurodivergent herself created a welcoming, inclusive environment. Her compassionate and practical teaching style made complex topics accessible. It offered a great introduction to conscious communication and somatic intelligence, helping me explore new ways of setting boundaries and staying authentic in relationships.
Exercises like ‘The radical honesty game’ and the ‘Yes and No’ practice were especially impactful, revealing deep-seated patterns I’m still working through.
I highly recommend Janina’s training for anyone seeking to reconnect with their core values and enhance their communication skills in a supportive, non-judgmental space.”
