FIND EASE IN YOUR BODY AND MIND
BE PRESENT IN THE HERE AND NOW

Do you find it difficult to sense and feel your body and are you more preoccupied with your thoughts? Do you often feel restless when you have free time? Are you tired yet tense, or do you experience tension and pain in your body? Your nervous system may be in overdrive. Difficulty sensing your body, a feeling of restlessness when you want to relax and tight muscles and fascia are the results. Over time this can lead to exhaustion, overwhelm, anxiety and burnout.

In my practice I offer a holistic approach (top-down and bottom-up) to stress related complains. I combine somatic/massage therapy with other somatic approaches and exercises that teach your body to anchor itself in the here and now, release tension naturally, and build resilience.

Are you curious to learn the language of your body?

ABOUT

Anna Birkelbach

Nervous System Expert, Massage Therapist, Somatic Coach, Reiki Master, Mother Of Two, Partner

Connection is the first step toward healing. When we feel seen, our nervous system can relax.

My why—and how I help you find more ease

From a young age, health problems shaped my path. While conventional medicine can offer many benefits, it was a dead end for me. So when life forces you to seek alternatives, I did so by studying herbal medicine and energy medicine.

Then a few years after the birth of my first child, I developed postpartum depression. Constant overwhelm, anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and sleep problems took over. I no longer recognized myself. Daily tasks were a struggle—let alone caring for a newborn. Every cry triggered a panic attack. Later, in my studies as a somatic therapist, I learned that this was due to a dysregulated nervous system.

Early health issues, postpartum depression, and anxiety began to make sense. Small changes led to bigger ones. My digestion improved, my sleep stabilized, and my thoughts shifted for the better. I began to listen to subtle changes in my physiology and acted accordingly.

Understanding and working with the body and nervous system is a gift not only for me but also for my clients. When you connect to the body and it's sensations you drop into the here and now. Change is only possible in the here and now.

The knowledge and understanding I've gained of the human body over the past 20 years is diverse. I know the cost of a dysregulated nervous system – and I know what is needed to find more ease, resilience and joy in your life.

My mission is simple: help you regulate your nervous system so your life isn't governed by stress.

What this means for you:

Getting to know your own nervous system and its triggers
A more regulated nervous system and more stable energy
Less chronic tension and pain
Better sleep
Emotional freedom
Tools to stay in the moment
Attunement to where you are now in the moment
Support from someone who has walked a similar path

If you're curious how this translates into your life, I'd love to connect with you. I'm here to support you on your journey toward greater balance and ease.
