Over dit evenement
From your head back to your body after a workweek and relax into the weekend.
After a full and often demanding week, it’s easy to stay stuck in your head.
Your body might feel tense, restless, or simply far away. Maybe you feel like you need to get going when you know you can actually slow down.
Back to Body Friday is an evening designed to help you gently transition out of that mental space and reconnect with your body.
Throughout the evening, you’ll be guided through a series of practices that support your nervous system in releasing built-up tension and coming back into a state of ease and safety.
We’ll start by working with excersises from Body Release Trauma Therapy, a powerful yet accessible way to physically shake off stress and activate the body’s natural release mechanisms. From there, we move into breathwork, using soft, regulating techniques that calm the system (no intense or activating breathing styles).
As the evening deepens, you’ll be invited into a blindfolded movement practice. Without visual input, it becomes easier to drop out of the mind and into sensation, allowing your body to guide the movement in its own way. We will also explore an awareness exercise, helping you become more aware of your own energy and how you relate to others energy.
We close off with a group hypnosis to integrate the experience, so you can leave feeling more settled, present and connected.
This evening is for you if you:
-> want to release tension
-> feel mentally overloaded after your workweek
-> notice tension or restlessness in your body
-> want to slow down and reconnect with yourself
-> are curious about body-based work (no experience needed)
-> are in your head a lot

About Melanie:
For the past 10 years, I have been working with the body as a foundation for change and healing. About halfway through that journey, I began to deepen into the mind and nervous system as well by studying coaching, breathwork, energy work and hypnotherapy.
This path started from a very personal place. My own nervous system had been deeply overwhelmed for a long time, shaped by earlier experiences. Learning how to reconnect with my body and find safety within it became the turning point and eventually, the basis of my work because I started to notice it around me too.
Today, I combine different modalities to support others in that same process. I continue to study and expand my approach, often integrating nature as a powerful element within my work.
My intention is always the same: to help you find a sense of calm, safety and connection within your own body (and within the patterns you carry).
