My Friends & Colleagues
I highly recommend the work of my wonderful friends & colleagues (and also my own practitioners) who offer their amazing gifts in the holistic & healing arts as well. Many thanks to Romana (below) for the inspiration for this page 🙏
Valeria Bauccio of Amacura Healing - Massage, Reiki & Holistic Practices
(She/Her) | Languages: Italian, English, German, Spanish
Since 2010, I have been helping clients alleviate various pains associated with muscular dysfunctions, as well as stiffness in the body, neck, and back. Much like the way I combined two words to create Amacura, I also combine different massage techniques and healing modalities to promote deep healing.
Integrating holistic therapies such as Reiki (energy healing work), a specific type of bodywork such as pelvic release (aimed to heal on an emotional level), and the use of the Ayurveda principle on nourishing the senses to achieve body-mind healing, allows me to facilitate healing on a much deeper level. This integration also ensures that an Amacura massage session is not only a unique experience but also powerfully therapeutic on both the physical and emotional plane.
My ultimate goal, though, is that you leave my studio with a stronger sense of well-being than before walking in. This is why I take particular care in creating a safe and cozy environment that promotes health and relaxation and also why I only work with products made of the purest ingredients such as organic-bio coconut and almond oils, pure organic essentials oils, and carefully selected organic herbal teas. It is also why there is always calm music in the background including sounds from ancient instruments that have been used for ages to promote healing and relaxation.

Sylvain Vanhuysse - Heilpraktiker, Holistic Health Coaching & Psychotherapy
(He/Him) | Languages: French, English, German, Italian
Originally trained as an engineer with a focus on renewable energies, sustainability, and environmental protection, I found that technical roles lacked the human interaction and sense of meaningful impact I craved. This realization led me to transition into therapeutic support, where I could truly make a difference in people's lives.
Personally, I have navigated significant life changes, including frequent relocations, being part of the LGBTQ+ community, career changes, burnout, and spiritual crises. These experiences have profoundly influenced my holistic therapeutic approach, where I consider all aspects of a person—body, mind, emotions, and soul. I address everything from body care and nutrition to family dynamics, transgenerational issues, sexuality, and spiritual beliefs. My goal is to empower people to become autonomous and responsible in managing their well-being and health.
I primarily work with individuals seeking meaning in their lives, including expats, LGBTQ+ individuals, those on a spiritual path, facing challenges in relationships or experiencing social anxiety and panic attacks. My aim is to help them individuate and become their true selves, regardless of societal expectations. This, I believe, is the source of genuine joy and happiness.
Offerings: Holistic health coaching, psychotherapy, astrology readings, Reiki, Thai Massage, Breathwork

Giovanni Ruzza - Psychedelic Breath®, Mindfulness & Fitness
(He/Him) | Languages: English, Italian, Dutch
Sport has always interested and fascinated me. As a kid, I played many sports: swimming, tennis, volleyball, running, track and field, among others. But since my work bound me to my office job, fitness offered me the best flexible solution to continue practicing sports. However, my interest in the gym developed over the years taking a new direction.
My regular gym sessions were becoming not challenging enough. It was then that I became interested in bodyweight training, particularly calisthenics. Through self-training, I developed mobility and strength skills based solely on my body.
After a rather serious arm injury - a complete long biceps tendon rupture - I felt the need to gain a deeper understanding of training and everything to do with it. So I apprenticed as a Personal Trainer and graduated as a fitness and personal trainer. Since then, I have been working as a fitness trainer in gyms.
Once I moved to Berlin, my involvement in the fitness world became more and more intense. Since then I have been working with various fitness studios and teaching different formats: HIIT, Bootcamps, Fitness Boxing, Strength, Mobility & Stretching.
On a personal level, I was confronted with a period of self-doubt and depression. Beside the regular therapy, I intentionally approached the world of meditation, mindfulness and breathwork; whose techniques I was then able to integrate into my work activities in various ways. I obtained the licence as a Psychedelic Breath® Teacher. Since that new approach, I have witnessed personal development on both a physical and mental level, as never experienced before.
YERI SHIN OF LUCID VISION COACHING - TRANSFORMATIVE COACH INFORMED BY JUNGIAN PSYCHOLOGY, SPECIALIZING IN ARCHETYPES AND DREAM ANALYSIS
(She/Her) | Languages: English, Korean, some Spanish & Japanese
After 15 years in high-pressure corporate roles, Yeri came to a realisation: even in the most performance-driven environments, people are quietly craving meaning, connection, and space to ‘be.’
Leading global teams at multinational companies and working across Asia and Europe, she learned to navigate complexity in people, cultures, and identities. Having lived in three countries, she understands what it means to adapt, redefine yourself, and lead across cultural boundaries.
That insight now shapes the way she coaches. Her work draws on professional coaching training (ICF PCC, in progress), and a foundation in Jungian psychology. She partners with individuals who are navigating burnout, identity shifts, cultural transitions, and leadership crossroads.
At the heart of her coaching is a belief in the creative intelligence people already carry. Coaching, for her, is not about providing answers - it’s a collaborative partnership designed to help clients reconnect with their inner resources, expand their perspective, and move forward from a place of clarity, strength, and authenticity. Together, coach and client create a space where new insights emerge and lasting change becomes possible.
Many of her clients are in the midst of change - questioning what’s next, seeking more presence, or trying to reconcile who they are with the roles they’re in. Her coaching offers a grounded, compassionate space to reflect, reorient, and step into what's next with integrity.

Joel David Küster of Kambô Spirit - Kambô Practitioner, Alternative Medicine Practitioner, Photographer
(He/Him) | Languages: English, German some Spanish and Turkish
My connection to natural medicine began in childhood, learning about the healing power of plants with my mother. Years later, in 2014, a life-changing ceremony in the mountains of the Peloponnese in Greece sparked a deep inner calling — a vision to walk the path of healing and be of service.
This led me to train as a Heilpraktiker in Berlin and study for over three years, while also working closely with my mentor Haridas, who introduced me to Bio Resonance Therapy.
In 2015, dreams of frogs began visiting me — and soon after, I experienced my first Kambô session. The impact was immediate and profound. Over time, my relationship with this sacred medicine deepened, and in 2022, I traveled to the Amazon rainforest of Peru to complete a 21-day intensive training to receive passage as a Kambô Practitioner.
It was one of the most challenging and transformative times of my life — filled with ceremonies, dieta, and study, supported by a strong and very connected group.
Today, I offer Kambô with humility, care, and deep respect for the tradition. I feel grateful to be of service through this powerful medicine and to walk this path alongside those seeking healing, clarity, and reconnection.
claudia munz - somatic bodywork
(She/Her) | Languages: German, English
Since 2008, I have been working as a somatic bodywork practitioner in one-to-one sessions and various workshops. 2023 we also founded Soma - Embodied Connections, a further training for somatic bodywork for all professionals working with people in different contexts. Connecting the body with thinking and feeling and allowing you to experience a deeper self-understanding are at the center of somatic bodywork.
I invest my full energy in the things I do. And you can feel this energy when you work with me. I try to empower all clients in their individuality and to walk a path that is freer. The heart of my work is to support others in such a way that sustainable changes happen in a sustainable and nourishing way.
Marysia Pstrokonska - earth work, handcrafted herbals, pelvic bodywork, energy work
(She/Her) | Languages: English, Polish, some German
For a long time my life has been deeply enriched by the magic of the plant kingdom and the art & science of herbalism. For me, plants are medicine as well as allies, guides and portals to other realms.
As a bodyworker and somatic & energy work practitioner, I am fascinated by the ways that plants can communicate with us on a cellular level and offer healing, guidance, ways to expand our consciousness and commune with life in deeper ways. In my hands-on work with the womb and pelvis I have been astounded by the impact that plants can have on our tissues, energies, connection to our root energy, and ability to navigate the cycles and seasons of our bodies and of life.
Plants are master teachers for us. Through consciously inviting their support, wisdom and guidance we can nourish our bodies and souls, experience healing, and open to the possibility that there is more pleasure, connection, beauty & wholeness in this world than we've allowed ourselves to long for or even imagine.
I love to support people in their journey developing deeper relationships and communion with the natural world and its intelligences and weaving in a greater experience and knowing of our connectedness to my somatic work. I'm endlessly curious about the power of touch to deepen our relationship with life and aliveness in its many forms.
