What makes ME, ME

Hi, Katja here!

I am the go-to trauma-informed and transformational Women’s Pelvic Health Specialist, Sexuality Therapist and Endometriosis Expert for highly ambitious women who want to heal their pelvic & sexual pain and/or endometriosis in a completely new, safe, and holistic way—that puts them into a driver’s seat. 

I believe in women’s empowerment,  sovereignty in women’s health, and as a women’s health advocate, I learned to listen to my own body and listen to the language it speaks.

The answer to healing ALWAYS lies in our bodies.

I work with my clients online or in person (in Bern, Switzerland), in English, German and Swiss-German language.

I draw upon my extensive studies, knowledge and learning from:

• Dagmar Khan, The Flourish ™ Women’s Health Institute , Ireland.
• Layla Martin, VITA ™ Institute, USA.
• Clinical Sexology, Sexocorporel, 3rd grade, ZISS (CH) and ifES (D).
• Rosenberg Europäische Akademie für Ayurveda, Germany.

14 FUN FACTS ABOUT ME:

1.    I was born in Switzerland and spoke French until I started the kindergarten.
2.   At the age of 16, I got my first period. It was such a painful experience and the pain didn’t change until I started to understand how my body actually works and that my body is in fact an interconnected system. This put also an end to my endometriosis pain.
3.    I love to feel connected with nature, especially water and being tied together to land – this is why I live in a farmer’s house in the countryside.
   It might surprise you, but donkeys are my most loved animals.
   While my older daughter loves horses, I am very afraid of them.
4.    I was interested in sexuality ever since I was a teenager. Margot Anand’s book The Art of Sexual Ecstasy (The Path of Sacred Sexuality for Westerns Lovers) got into my hands when I was 25, and I never looked back.
5.    The one thing I am truly proud about: I have a lot of tools in my toolbox and when I am coaching my clients, I intelligently interweave my brain, my body and my intuition – all at the same time. I see emotional connections and body mysteries, which leads to a great solutions – and very happy (and pain-free) clients.
6.    I water-birthed one of my daughters. During my delivery, the midwife didn’t believe me the stage I was (I had already pressing contractions), even when I told her how far into labor I was (mamas – always trust your own feeling and body knowledge), but then stepped out to the phone to call the doctor… And when my gynecologist arrived, I had already delivered our baby.
7.    What makes me happy, even on a ‘’rainy day’’? The fact I get to work with women who suffer from sexual pain to have sex AGAIN, and even desire their partner and enjoy lovemaking. Yeah!!
8.    I love children and young people.
9.    My younger daughter is very sporty, does Thai Boxing, and is a professional Ski Teacher (the mama in me feels like OMG: why not get on a dance floor instead?).
10.   I was able to develop my femininity in a masculine environment.
11.    When I want to relax, I just sit in the sun and do absolutely nothing. Nothing means no phone, no book, no eating. Just resting in the sun and looking at the clouds.
12.    My favorite holiday memory is a ritual for women I did when I visited the island of Corfu. We went to the beach, made a fire and we’re sharing our hearts and our souls, vulnerably. Followed by a naked swim under the moon. Women can support each other so beautifully, simply by holding space and listening.
13.    My favorite movie is “Eat, Pray and Love”… because I love good and healthy food (from all different countries), I adore travelling around the world and I pray for women’s empowerment.
14.    What excites me (even now, as we are going through uncertain times)and gets me out of the bed every morning: the fact that I bring healing refuge and the possibility to women with sexual pain and turn sexless relationships into place of love, passion, desire and turn-on.  Yeah!!
