About Green Touch

Where words are not always enough

Green Touch Bodywork® is a carefully developed form of bodywork that begins where words are not always enough. Through sensitive touch and present companionship, a space of experience opens in which physical and inner processes can be perceived more consciously. Self-regulation can become tangible, and new perspectives may show themselves.

With Green Touch Bodywork®, polyvagal-informed support, Somatic Experiencing® (in the sense of education and self-experience) and Neural Somatic Integration®, I offer resource-oriented, body-based support. At its center are mindful body awareness, orientation, and the conscious experience of self-regulation – at your own pace.

Over the years I have refined and condensed this work. It is an invitation to deepen your own body awareness and to experience inner balance more consciously.

The psoas & the vagus nerve

Resting on the belly

After decades of body-oriented practice, I have come to understand the body as a doorway to inner experience. Many people feel the belly as an especially sensitive area, where tension and emotion are mirrored.

In a session my hand often rests on the belly and the navel. Here, deep in the abdomen, run the psoas muscle and branches of the vagus nerve – the great nerve that connects brain, heart and belly and plays a central role in how the whole body regulates itself, in calm and in alarm. Resting there, I make contact with this system.

This gentle contact invites you to notice body sensations mindfully, to recognize patterns of tension more clearly, and to discover new experiences of orientation and inner calm – in a safe, non-medical setting, at your own pace and without pressure.

The client lies comfortably, supported by a bolster under the knees. My hand rests on the belly and the navel – calm, still contact where the vagus nerve reaches the organs of the abdomen.

What a session offers

Attention rests on the belly, the pelvis, the feet, the breath and other areas of the body – inspired by perspectives from Polyvagal Theory.

Deep self-connection
Space to meet yourself mindfully, explore your inner perception, and connect more consciously with your physical experience.
Mindful with feelings
In a respectful, non-judging frame, feelings can be noticed and reflected – without pressure and without a set goal.
Reflecting your experience
Some people gain new perspectives on their self-image and inner patterns. These experiences arise individually and in their own time.
