Somatic Experiencing in Zurich –
Regulate your nervous system, find inner peace
Sometimes our nervous system gets out of balance: difficult experiences can leave traces in our bodies and hearts that affect our health and well-being. This can result in stress, exhaustion, anxiety, or illness. Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-oriented approach that helps you regain inner stability and lightness.
What is Somatic Experiencing®?
SE is a gentle method for processing stress and trauma. It is based on the body's natural ability to regulate stress and initiate healing. Instead of revisiting the past in every detail, the focus is on perceiving what is happening in the body in the present moment—and thus regaining security, calm, and vitality step by step.
Why Somatic Experiencing helps with trauma and stress
Overload or traumatic events can remain stored in the nervous system and cause symptoms such as inner restlessness, anxiety, sleep disorders, or irritability. Somatic Experiencing helps to gently release this bound energy and rebalance the nervous system.
Stabilization of the nervous system · Emotional resilience · Mental and physical health
How a typical SE session works
Each session is based on what is happening in the body at this moment. Together, we create a space where you feel safe and can curiously perceive what your body is communicating to you. The work usually takes place in conversation. Physical touch is not necessary, but it can become part of the process if it is helpful for the nervous system. Clothes always remain on.

Growing up in the vastness of the Appenzell mountains, I learned as a competitive athlete to push my limits and consciously experience change. A master's degree in human movement sciences from ETH Zurich, research activities, years of teaching, and my long-standing practice in meditation and mindfulness have shaped my path. Today, I accompany people with scientific clarity, personal experience, and an attitude of compassion and trust.
