Hi, I’m Sandra, and I’m happy to meet you!

For almost two decades, I have been working internationally as a somatic therapist and coach with a continuously evolving holistic approach. Being trusted by hundreds of clients and being able to accompany them on their way to enhance wellbeing, connection, and personal freedom makes me feel both humbled and proud. Meeting courageous people who wish to transform trauma, outgrow old patterns of beliefs and behaviour, and discover strategies to manage stress and anxiety fulfills me with deep joy and gratitude.

Encouraging and empowering others to thrive means reminding them how to recognise and communicate their needs and wishes, navigate through crises and trauma towards taking responsibility, and nourish lasting relationships. This desire for communication, connection, and personal freedom to live in accordance with one’s values and dreams has always driven me. And the beauty of my work is discovering new varieties through my clients’ eyes every day.

Growing up in Northern Germany in the 1980s, I was curious and eager to learn. No book remained untouched, and no opportunity to travel was missed. It would be fair to say I didn’t quite fit in, which, of course, made me doubt myself. However, I also had a little warrior within me, longing to explore, expand, and change the world. I believed that if people were more content in their lives, the world could be a better place.

At university, I tried to understand why people struggle to change and overcome obstacles. My mind was constantly racing as I studied Sociology and Psychology and began to explore the reciprocal dynamics between individuals and society. I lived in Leipzig before moving to Berlin, where I stayed for almost 20 years.

Equipped with my Master’s degree, I was still searching for a way to make an impact. I began to realise that talking and thinking alone do not provide a way forward. So I continued to explore alternative ways to encourage and empower people. Until one day, I found myself in the right place at the right time. Was it coincidence, fate, destiny, or simply luck? I met someone who introduced me to somatic bodywork. Soon after, I met their teacher—and that one hour changed my life.

I knew, in every cell of my body: this was it. For the first time, I felt seen, understood, heard, and held. This was what I had been searching for: connection, communication, compassion, and change. A direct, immediate, and deeply caring approach that enables transformation, integrates the past, and focuses on the future.

After four years of studies, I qualified as a Grinberg Method Practitioner (2012), a powerful foundation of my work. But I have noticed its limitations and recognised elements I would like to address differently in my work with people. Therefore, I expanded my skill set as a Pantarei Approach Practitioner (2017), integrated systemic coaching and non-violent communication strategies, and enriched my practice with the wisdom of yoga.
A special interest of mine has always been working with trauma, personal and transgenerational. I trained online on Trauma First Aid with Dr Peter Levine (2020, 2025), alongside extensive and ongoing reading. More recently, I completed a Neuroscience Coaching Course (2025), which complements my experience with the latest scientific insights. I am currently very excited about integrating a new method into my work after being trained in ThetaHealing (2026).

But most of all, I learn from my clients. Their life stories, unique strengths, and drive to live a fulfilled life are inspiring, surprising, impressive, and immensely powerful. When they begin to reconnect to their wisdom, experience, and power, nothing is impossible - true magic unfolds.

Today, I live with my teenage son, our extended family, and our feisty four-legged friend, “Elvis the Dog,” in Oxfordshire. Rooted in Berlin, London, and Portugal, I am grateful to share my experience and knowledge with people across Europe. It is humbling to work with curious, creative, and courageous individuals and to learn about their lives, experiences, and dreams.

My childhood dream has come true: I now have a profession that helps making the world a bit of a better place.
