Some patterns do not begin in the mind.
They live in the body first.
A 60-minute Compassionate Inquiry®-informed practice session for people who want to explore the unconscious beliefs, emotional adaptations, and body-held protective strategies shaping their life.
Not yet certified · Not therapy or medical treatment · You can stop at any time
The contraction before you speak. The shame after needing something. The collapse when someone gets close. The impulse to explain, perform, rescue, disappear, please, control, or shut down.
Most people try to fix the behaviour. This work asks a better question.
These are 60-minute Compassionate Inquiry®-informed practice sessions for people who want to explore the unconscious beliefs, emotional adaptations, and body-held protective strategies shaping their life, relationships, work, self-worth, and inner world.
This is not about analysing you from a distance. It is not about forcing catharsis. It is not about digging for trauma like an archaeological excavation with poor boundaries.
It is a guided, present-moment inquiry into what is alive now: in your words, your body, your emotions, your pauses, your defences, your longing, and the places where your system learned to leave itself in order to survive.
Why I am offering these sessions
I am currently training in Compassionate Inquiry®, the trauma-informed psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté and further structured by Sat Dharam Kaur ND. As part of my professional development and certification pathway, I am offering reduced-fee practice sessions.
I want to be very clear: I am in training. I am not yet a Certified Compassionate Inquiry® Practitioner.
These sessions are offered within my existing professional background as a scientist, coach, somatic practitioner, breathwork facilitator, and psychedelic preparation/integration specialist. They are not psychotherapy, diagnosis, medical care, psychiatric treatment, crisis support, or a replacement for working with a licensed mental health professional.
The fee is €35 per session. This is not a "free healing session." Free often sounds generous, but it can also create casualness around deep work. A small financial commitment helps create seriousness, respect, and mutual responsibility.
Not performance. Not pressure. Just enough commitment for the nervous system to know: I am choosing to show up for myself.
You can bring one clear intention, question, or pattern. We will not try to solve your whole life in one session. That is not healing. That is spiritual capitalism in a lab coat. We choose one thread. We follow it with precision. We listen for the body underneath the story.
A note on the work
You can bring a recurring pattern, emotional trigger, relational difficulty, body response, inner conflict, addiction or compulsion pattern, shame loop, self-worth wound, fear around visibility, difficulty receiving, or a place where you feel stuck.
The best intentions are specific. For example: "I want to understand what happens in me when someone gets close." Or: "I want to explore why I feel unsafe being visible."
You are always allowed to pause, slow down, say no, change direction, or stop. This work does not require you to expose everything. It asks you to stay close to what is true enough, alive enough, and safe enough to meet today.
The body already knows the direction. The inquiry simply asks it to speak.
At the beginning, we clarify your intention for the session. Then I guide you slowly into present-moment awareness: what is happening in your body, what emotions are present, what beliefs may be operating, and what protective strategies are showing up.
01
We begin with one clear intention. Not a goal to be achieved, but a compass. Naming it out loud is already the beginning of the movement.
02
As you speak, I listen — not just to the words, but to shifts in tone, breath, posture, and the words you almost did not say. We track what is alive right now.
03
Sometimes I may gently interrupt the story — with consent — not because your story does not matter, but because the nervous system often reveals the deeper truth through sensation before the mind has edited it into something socially acceptable.
04
You are always allowed to pause, slow down, say no, refuse a question, change direction, or stop the session. Consent is part of the work, not a decorative sentence on a booking page.
05
Through careful somatic deepening, we begin to see the core story — the belief that formed, where it began, and how it has functioned as adaptation and protection. Not through confrontation. Through compassionate curiosity.
06
We close by returning to your intention — what shifted, what emerged, and how you might carry it forward. A brief grounding ensures you leave regulated, not activated. Give yourself spaciousness after.
If any of these apply, this does not mean there is something wrong with you. It means your system deserves the right level of care, not a pretty container with the wrong capacity.
You may leave with more clarity, more compassion for a protective pattern, more awareness of a core belief, or a better understanding of how your body organises safety, threat, connection, need, shame, anger, visibility, or intimacy.
You may also feel tender. This is normal.
This is why I recommend giving yourself spaciousness after the session: no intense meetings immediately after, no major life decisions in the following hours, and no turning insight into a productivity project.
The work is not to become a better self-improvement machine. The work is to come back into relationship with the parts of you that learned to survive by leaving.
I am opening a limited number of reduced-fee practice sessions per month while I complete my Compassionate Inquiry® training pathway. Monthly slots are limited — this is not artificial scarcity. It is what full presence requires.
60 minutes. One intention. One thread followed with precision. This is a reduced training rate — not the value of the work, but the contribution for this specific stage of the certification pathway.
Book a €35 Session →Some people benefit from one focused inquiry. Others need a few sessions to explore a pattern more carefully over time. Three sessions give structure without creating a forever container. Spread over 4–8 weeks.
Book the Bundle →If this work resonates and you have the means, paying above the base rate helps me hold space for people who cannot afford even the reduced fee. Same session. Same presence. You simply make it possible for someone else to be here too.
Book & Pay Forward →Book only if you are willing to arrive on time, be present, and engage with the work respectfully. This is not casual content consumption. This is a small doorway into a deeper relationship with yourself.
I am currently training in Compassionate Inquiry® and am not yet a Certified Compassionate Inquiry® Practitioner. These reduced-fee sessions are offered as part of my professional learning and certification pathway. They are not psychotherapy, medical treatment, psychiatric care, diagnosis, crisis support, or a replacement for licensed mental health care. You remain free to pause, slow down, refuse any question, or stop the session at any time.
No. I am currently training in Compassionate Inquiry® and offering reduced-fee practice sessions as part of my learning and certification pathway. I am being transparent about this because integrity matters more than looking impressive on the internet.
My wider professional background includes scientific research, coaching, somatic work, breathwork, trauma-informed practice, psychedelic preparation and integration, and therapeutic space-holding. These sessions are offered within that existing scope, while I continue developing my skills in the Compassionate Inquiry® approach.
No. These sessions are not psychotherapy, psychiatric care, diagnosis, medical treatment, medication advice, crisis support, or a replacement for working with a licensed mental health professional.
They are reflective, somatic, trauma-informed inquiry sessions designed to explore patterns, beliefs, emotions, and protective adaptations with compassion and curiosity.
Because I am currently in training and offering these as reduced-fee practice sessions. I do not offer them for free because deep work deserves mutual commitment. Free can sound generous, but often people treat free spaces casually.
€35 is not the value of the work. It is the training-rate contribution for this specific stage of my certification pathway.
Compassionate Inquiry® is a trauma-informed psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté and further structured by Sat Dharam Kaur ND. It explores what lives beneath the surface story: hidden assumptions, implicit memories, body states, emotional patterns, and unconscious beliefs that shape how a person experiences themselves, others, and life.
In simple language: we listen for the pattern underneath the pattern.
We begin with a clear intention. You bring one pattern, emotion, situation, or question you want to explore. As you speak, I guide you to notice what is happening in the present moment: in your body, breath, emotions, language, beliefs, and protective responses.
At times, I may gently interrupt the story — with your consent — to help us return to what is happening now. Not because the story is irrelevant. Because the body often tells the truth before the mind has edited it into something socially acceptable.
Not necessarily. Sometimes childhood material emerges because many protective patterns began early. But we do not force anything. We begin with what is present now and follow only what is alive, relevant, and safe enough to meet.
There is no prize for going too deep too fast. That is not healing. That is nervous system theatre.
Not in the usual way. This is not a strategy session. I will not tell you how to fix your life in five steps while your nervous system is quietly begging everyone to stop being so productive.
The work is to help you notice what is operating underneath the behaviour, so choice becomes possible from a deeper place. Insight first. Then movement.
Yes. Always. You can pause, slow down, say no, refuse a question, change direction, or stop the session. Consent is part of the work, not a decorative sentence on a booking page.
No. If you are in acute crisis, actively suicidal, at risk of harming yourself or someone else, experiencing psychosis, mania, severe dissociation, or psychiatric instability, this is not the right container. That does not mean you are too much. It means you deserve the correct level of support.
Please contact emergency services, a crisis line, your doctor, psychiatrist, therapist, or a trusted person in your support system.
Only if needed for training or supervision, and only with your explicit written consent. If recording is ever requested, you will be told why, how it will be used, who may see it, how it will be stored, and what your rights are. You can say no.
No hidden recording. No vague consent. No weird spiritual loopholes.
Yes, if it feels appropriate for both of us. Some people benefit from one focused inquiry. Others may want a few sessions to explore a pattern more carefully over time.
We will not create dependency. The point is not to keep you in endless processing. The point is to help you build more honest contact with yourself.
Choose one pattern or question. Come sober, present, and in a private space. Do not schedule something intense immediately after. Leave 15–30 minutes for grounding, journaling, walking, or simply being quiet.
Your nervous system is not a Google Doc. It does not integrate because you highlighted something.
