Dearmouring is a form of attuned bodywork combined with subtle energy work that releases layers of physical and emotional holding, helping you reconnect with your body, find empowerment and experience greater aliveness.
WHAT IS DEARMOURING?
Dearmouring is less a fixed technique than it is an approach to bodywork. Any modality that helps remove protective layers of 'armor' we hold in our bodies, mind, unfelt emotions or energy field, is really helping us to de-armor. This can be bodywork, talk therapy, energy work, breathwork or a combination of all of them.
'Armor' refers to chronic tension patterns which store survival energy & unresolved emotional imprints, stagnant energetic blockages or limiting personal narratives. This armor is formed as a protection response over years of stress, thought-patterns, social programming, repressed emotions and trauma.
Using a combination of attuned touch, sustained pressure on trigger points, breathing techniques and hands-off energy work, these hard contracted tissues get released, emotions get felt fully and energy flow becomes balanced, as the armor melts away.
Releasing this ‘armor’ helps you come back to your authentic self and increases your capacity to experience joy, openness, and vitality.

SAFETY & CONSENT
My intention is to create a grounded, respectful and compassionate space in which you can explore your body and whatever arises at your own pace.
I have completed several training in trauma-informed bodywork, so every session is conducted with trauma awareness. Intentions and boundaries are always set at the beginning of the session.
Throughout the session consent is always asked and on-going, whilst you are always in control of the pace and pressure:
You will be guided to signal when your pain/ comfort threshold is reached so you never have to experience more pressure than feels comfortable for you.
You are free to communicate anything you need to at any point
You can ask for a pause at any point
You can decline a certain area being worked on
You can always change your mind on any decision you've given through the session
You can stop the session at any point
In the session your are gently guided to feel into and through emotions that arise, yet you are never forced to go into anything you don't want to.
In the session you will remain fully clothes throughout. No oil is used.
This is professional bodywork and is not a sexual service. I do not offer yoni dearmouring, and any touching of any intimate areas have clear boundaries.

De-armouring is a process. For many people, deeper release and significant transformation occurs over several sessions rather than one single session.
Sessions are approximately two hours. Occasionally, additional integration time may be appropriate; if this becomes necessary, we will always discuss it beforehand.
FAQs
01.
Is Dearmouring painful?
De-armouring doesn't need to be painful. Some areas may feel intense as we work with chronic tension, but you remain in control of the pressure throughout. The intention is not to push through pain, but to develop greater awareness and allow the body to soften at a pace that feels appropriate.
02.
Is Dearmouring sexual?
The modality of Dearmouring itself is not a sexual service and is not the same as a tantra massage. Rather dearmouring is purely therapeutic in its intended outcome, not erotic. However, for some the therapeutic intent might relate to issues around their sexuality or sexual dysfunction. Some clients may experience increased bodily sensitivity or pleasurable sensations during bodywork, but these are not the aim of the session. We maintain clear professional boundaries throughout.
03.
Do you work with men?
Yes. I primarily work with women, but welcome men also. The session is always adapted to the individual. In my professional experience to date, I notice women experience the most benefit and deepest impact from this work. It is my preference when working with men that they've already cultivated some sensitivity to their energy body and/or have a deep sense of embodied awareness. If not, I much prefer to work with men through embodiment coaching where this can first be cultivated.
04.
Can emotional reactions arise? What happens if i become emotional?
It can be that emotions arise which haven't fully be felt through yet. If this happens, it is absolutely fine. During the sessions you are held in a loving space with the utmost presence and compassion. All emotional expression is welcomed. You are never shamed or rushed for what ever you feel. Instead you are gently guided in feeling through the emotions fully, so that you emerge from the session feeling emotionally lighter and more aligned.
How is Dearmouring different from massage & myofascial release?
The main way dearmouring is different from massage or myofascial release is that it is orientated towards helping you through a specific process in your healing and/or self-development. Rather than being purely physical it is aimed towards releasing unprocessed emotions, increasing the flow of life-force and facilitating a shift in your personal identity/ embodiment/ patterns. In terms of techniques used, dearmouring applies trigger point pressure and subtle energy work. Although these may be used in some massage treatments, the focus is more on softly relaxing muscle tension. I also apply myofascial release techniques during dearmouring sessions, as this is one of the best methods for release deep-seated chronic tension, that I know of.

How long are sessions?
Session are roughly two hour in duration. However, due to the nature of the work, it can be that sessions go on for up to another hour if your process takes longer. For this please schedule an extra hour free in case and be prepared to pay 85€ for extra hour if needed.
How many sessions do I need?
07.
How many sessions you need depends on your goal and how severe the 'armor' is that you hold. For acute issues and for people who have cultivated deep embodiment and felt-sense, single sessions alone can delivered great impact, without the need for follow ups. Yet, for the most part, a series of session are needed in order to build trust, to gradually work through layers of holding and to complete a process with full integration. I offer a package of four sessions, as this allows me to work on different areas of the body with focus and attunement, making sure you feel treated holistically and thoroughly.
