FAQ (Frequently asked questions and answers)
Body-oriented means that a big focus is placed on the body during coaching. Through various exercises, which are guided by me during the coaching sessions and also practiced daily by you at home, your topics will be resolved step by step. Of course, speaking will also be an important part of the coaching, as we humans are highly complex beings who want to understand what is going on with us.
No, touching is not part of the coaching. If you would like more information on the meaning of the word body-oriented take a look at the first question.
“There is no separation between body and mind; mind and body are an inseparable unit,” said Dr. Gabor Maté, who has been studying the connection between trauma and body, among other things, for years. In recent years, the body has also been integrated more and more into the coaching process and it is becoming increasingly clear that speaking alone is not enough to resolve issues in depth. Many of the issues that cause people to suffer in the here and now have to do with developmental trauma. Current situations trigger old, unresolved issues and reactivating these old wounds makes the pain feel new and real. The body is used to access these old issues and the associated emotions without having to deal with the old memories in detail. This is extremely effective.
The coaching can be done in German, English or in Romanian.
The coaching takes place in the beautiful kreativdialog in Stuttgart, Gablenberg, Klingenstraße 37 or online. A combination of on-site and online is also possible.
After the free and non-binding initial consultation, you decide on a coaching package of 6 or 12 weeks (or for longer support). I will send you the coaching contract and the invoice. Once we have clarified the organizational details, we can get started promptly, even at short notice. We will meet on site or online and talk about your issues and do exercises aimed at making you feel your body more and more. During the coaching sessions, you will carry out your exercises every day (you will need about 20 minutes for this, preferably in the morning and evening) and we will be in contact via voice messages from Tuesday to Saturday.

The minimum duration of the coaching is 6 weeks, as your nervous system needs some time to get used to the changes and they then become an integral part of your everyday life. The coaching period is 6 or 12 weeks, depending on the number of issues you bring to the coaching. A longer coaching period is also possible. It is also possible to extend the coaching period if required.
The fee is paid at the beginning of the coaching.
Various coaching contents are necessary for sustainable changes in everyday life: the personal support (i.e. the personal contact, the bond that we form over the coaching period), the exercises you make at home (in order for you to feel the changes sustainably in everyday life) and the support via voice messages (so that we can discuss and solve your daily challenges promptly and you don´t have to wait until the next appointment, because by then the strong emotions are usually already gone). All of this is included in the coaching package price. The advantage for you is that the costs, depending on the scope of the coaching and the specific goals, are transparent from the beginning and you know exactly what to expect.
No, this is neither possible nor does it make sense, as the coaching package consists of various components whose interaction is important for the success of the coaching.
Yes, payment in installments is possible in exceptional cases, depending on your financial situation. You are welcome to talk to me about this during your initial consultation.
No, this is not possible as coaching is not a treatment method for mental illness. It is a self-payer service. As an employee, you can usually deduct coaching related to your profession in your next income tax return as part of your income-related expenses. As a self-employed person, it is usually also possible to deduct the costs. Please clarify this with your tax advisor.
You can start promptly and don´t have to wait for months, as is often the case with offers that are billed via health insurance. You can also benefit from coaching without having to be diagnosed with a mental illness.
