The method

Rooted Strength

Rooted strength

Rooted Strength is a body-based method with which you feel your ground again, recognise your needs and stand up for yourself from this connection.

How it came about

For more than twenty years I have taught martial arts, taught violence prevention and accompanied people in very different life situations: in companies and hospitals, in schools and kindergartens, in youth welfare, in burnout courses and in women’s groups. Again and again I felt that our intuition speaks in the body long before the head understands anything. Many of us have trained ourselves out of this fine perception, yet it is our most important compass, because without it we rush through life on autopilot and lose ourselves. So over the years I deliberately selected the elements that give us this compass back: from martial arts, from Taiji and ChiKung, from my training as a Medicine Woman, from meditation and inner work. Rooted Strength grew out of this.

The four phases

01

Rooting

You feel the ground beneath you again and arrive, connected with yourself and with the world around you.

02

Connecting

You perceive your senses, your intuition and your needs, so that you know again what you want, and from there you connect with the people around you.

03

Standing and speaking

From the body you find your posture, your voice and your boundary.

04

Protecting and anchoring

You learn to assert yourself physically too, and take what you experienced into your everyday life, so it keeps working there.

What matters to me

What you are looking for is already within you. I give you the space and the guidance, you walk the path yourself, at your pace and with everything you bring.
