Welcome, I'm Rahel
I'm a soon to be Somatic Experiencing™ practitioner, certified VITA™ coach and Reiki practitioner.
Through body-based awareness and trauma integration, I guide people home to their inner knowing, soft strength and aliveness.
Having once worked in journalism and later as a representative of Swiss business interests in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, I realised two things: first, that my life looked glorious on the outside, yet that that would not change how empty I felt inside. And second, that what happens in politics—on a national and global scale—is less about improving the world and more a product of deeply individual human dynamics. Dynamics I didn’t want to be part of. What I experienced, disillusioned me and I knew, the biggest contribution I can do to humanity is to find peace within myself.
I’ve been immersing myself into all kinds of healing modalities over the past 11 years. Therapy, yoga, singing, dancing, bodywork, energy healing, ayurvedic medicine, and what not. It seemed unattainable to me – yet eventually I trained as a coach and somatic therapist, as it’s always been a dream of mine to work individually with people seeking wellbeing.
Having a very open energy body, being easily excitable and equally influenceable, it’s been essential for me to learn how to root myself in my body, to acknowledge my needs, and to trust my intuition – my path. Working with the nervous system and going to the depth by renegotiating trauma – has been working very well for me.
It is my pleasure to share my journey and accompany others on theirs – by cultivating nervous system safety and reclaiming their authentic needs.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for your trust.
With love,
Rahel

Before transitioning into my current work, I worked in international economic affairs responsible for CIS markets and as a journalist.
I speak (Swiss-)German, English, Spanish, Russian, and French and offer my sessions in (Swiss-)German and English.
Current Embodied Explorations & Artistic Expressions:
I dance Contact Improvisation and have been studying Hindustani musical traditions for more than 4 years — both of which offer me profound ways to explore my internal and external landscapes and the relationship between the two.
