Testimonials
"t is has been such a comfort to have Maike be there for me after years of trying to work on myself ‘alone’. Maike creates a safe and grounding space to release, explore, and deepen into topics at your own pace. Through Somatic Experiencing, I have learned to respect and trust my body and mind’s signals more and have felt safe enough to delve deeper into them. To my surprise, during this process I have also rediscovered a deep creativity when being able to tune into this relationship more. I use tools that Maike provides regularly and always look forward to being held in the space she creates".

“Maike offered me a real sense of sanctuary during a very challenging time in my life. Our weekly sessions allowed me space and time to learn ways to regulate my nervous system. It helped me learn to find a place of safety within. Bless you Maike and thank you Maike for believing in me and giving me hope in a very dark time.”

"The somatic trauma therapy with Maike helps me a lot to see things in a clearer and more relaxed way. Since I have learned more and more about myself, my needs and boundaries I can cope much more easily with difficult moments, such as panic attacks. I can better separate myself from things and people and am much more focused on my needs in life. Maike supports you on this journey of discovery with a lot of empathy, knowledge, strength and wonderful irony of life. Thank you for your sincere accompaniment".

“If it wasn´t for Somatic Experiencing and Maike, I probably would not be where I am today. Looking back the last 1,5 years they passed by so quickly with quite a lot of challenges but also milestones. With SE Maike helped me to reconnect with parts of myself, that I had stored away or that I wouldn't wanna see. These parts were holding me back in my daily life or occupying room for new experiences, people and overall satisfaction and happiness. In a very gentle but clear and focused way of letting situations from the past occur in my inner eye and then let them go or transform them into memories, Maike helped me to overcome inner blockages and thoughts that were just directed in one way. Thank you very much for inviting me to explore my feelings and behavior on a deeper level and for making me welcome anytime I contact you.”

“I knew from the very first session with Maike and SE that I was in the right place. I had come to understand more and more in recent years how much my life long struggles were linked to some past events. In only a few sessions with Maike my emotional numbness started to break up. Maike’s warm and patient guidance, her generous dedication along with my new understanding of myself through SE was just what I needed. And even if the process is far from over, my quality of life has already clearly improved and important relationships have changed for the better. Thank you so much Maike!”

“Somatic Experiencing with Maike helps me to build resilience and to access trauma in a very safe and compassionate held space. The sessions are tremendously helpful to me as I am skillfully guided to be present for the challenging emotions and situations. To me, somatic experiencing is to practice holding space to feel my physical reactions in combination with thoughts, behavioural patterns and the history of mine. With that, I am supported to eventually build new pathways to how I react with and interact to situations, people and to life in general. Somatic experiencing is so special to me because it combines the body and the mind and it works with a broad toolbox that I can use in my day to day life. I am grateful to be able to have these sessions with Maike that support me in connecting to myself and others in a more profound way. I feel more centred and resilient with every session. I am really grateful for Maike’s compassion, broad knowledge and experience within this field.”

“Maike creates a very safe, warm, authentic, professional, fun space to discover, feel and release everything that wants to be healed. She supports me beautifully, letting my body be the guide to the parts that crave to be seen. I work with Maike for more than a year and am astonished by the progress. I am much more connected to my body, and feel supported to heal the roots of life-long patterns that don’t serve me. One of the biggest gifts is my new handling of all (!) my emotions, which are much more welcome- no suppression needed anymore. I feel free and curious to explore all the parts in me. I can highly recommend Maike as a Somatic Experiencing practitioner and wish everyone would experience such support to discover all parts in themselves with freedom and curiosity, while letting go of things that don’t serve anymore. ”
