SUSANN
English, German (native language) and French

Susann has been trained with the European Hakomi Institute for 3 years. She also completed a variety of other trainings in wholistic counseling, process work and co-active coaching.

She works in private practice since 11 years where she intregrates several body-mind-spirit approaches rooted in the same attitude that all wisdom, growth and healing emerges from within the client when a safe and loving environment is created. She has also worked many years as the coordinator for bereavement support and in counseling/coaching with individuals and groups in a non-profit agency.

"What I love most about Hakomi is the safe and playful curiousity in how we explore together your core beliefs and the limiting inner voices that are in the way of a truly fullfilled life.

Life-Coaching further enhances aligning the realized inner changes with new steps into the outer world. "To see people blossom into their authentic beautiful selves is a deep joy for me."

DR.DENNIS BROWN

I have been a Registered Psychologist for more than 25 years and a Certified Hakomi Therapist for the past five years. I have provided a variety of services to individuals, couples, and families during these years, ranging from one-session, one-person consultations to multiple sessions with two or more people involving consultation, coaching, or therapy. I am particularly interested in helping people during those often unwanted times of change and life transition that we all experience. Whether it is an individual, marital, family, or work group problem, I believe that no crisis should be wasted and that the challenge is, to use the old cliché, how to transform lemons life throws at us into lemonade. To put it another way, the challenge is to find a way that doesn’t leave us bitter, but instead enables us to enjoy the sweetness of life or at least better able to tolerate the bitter-sweetness of life. This often means learning how to make sense of the difficult, painful, sometimes overwhelming emotions that accompany unwanted change and learning how to develop more useful perspectives that help us to cope effectively or even thrive in our new situation.
