Hi, I'm Hanni — a Certified Advanced Rolfer®, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and guide for women who've lost touch with their own aliveness.

Maybe you gave years to raising your children, building your career, or holding everyone else together — and somewhere along the way, your spark went quiet. You're not broken. Your body just learned to protect itself by shutting the door on pleasure, desire, and eros. Now you're ready to open it again — maybe for the first time.

My work combines structural bodywork with nervous system-based somatic practice, so instead of just talking about change, we work with your body directly — helping you recognize where you've gone numb, release what's been held there, and rebuild your capacity to feel fully alive again.

This isn't about performing confidence or forcing positivity. It's about coming home to your own body, so pleasure, presence, and power become things you feel — not just words you say.

  • “Deep and multi-faceted training in wise disciplines and ancient traditions take one only so far — it must be filtered, channeled, embodied, articulated by each individual practitioner. If that practitioner is, like Hanni, gifted, intelligent and inspired – most wonderful! Hanni’s complexly woven work, which is at once deeply calming, humorous, compassionate, fierce, rooted and profoundly vital, is exemplified in her own presence and reflected in the beautiful physical environment one enters by crossing her threshold. What a gift and what a blessing!!!”

  • “Hanni holds space in a very safe and supported way and so it felt easy to explore aspects of myself that can otherwise feel difficult to reach.”

  • “I found a connection between my throat and my cervix that I got to explore deeper. And with some of the exercises I actually got to move through and transform layers of pain and fear that I have held for a long long time.”

  • “With Hanni 's thoughtful curiosity I was able to discover and articulate what it is that I am wanting sexually for myself right now. This feels really empowering and healing.”

  • "I have worked with Hanni for half a decade. First as a ROLF client in her Middlebury, VT studio and then as one of her first remote VITA coaching students after she moved to Italy. I first visited her because I had pain in my shoulder and later a pain in my foot. Those pains are now gone. She taught me how to walk and trust the ground could hold my weight. She has extraordinary knowledge of the body, the secrets it keeps and how to move through the world with a lighter step. "

What Somatic Coaching Actually Is

Your Body Is Already Talking to You

Your soma — body, mind, and spirit together — is constantly communicating with you. Not just physical sensation, but emotion, memory, and intuition, all held in the body and shaped by what you've lived through.

Somatic Embodiment Coaching works with this directly. Instead of just talking about change, we use gentle, body-based techniques to help you notice what you've been holding — tension, numbness, old protective patterns — and release it. This isn't about analyzing your story; it's about learning to listen to what your body already knows, so you can respond to life from a place of choice instead of old habit.

What Becomes Possible

Reclaiming Your Aliveness

Many women reach a point — after years spent raising children, building a career, or holding everyone else together — where they realize their spark has gone quiet. This work is about finding it again.

Your sexual and creative energy is not separate from who you are — it's a vital, life-giving force, and one that gets buried first when we spend years prioritizing everyone else's needs. As you release what's been held in the body, this energy has room to move again: into your relationships, your creativity, your sense of your own power.

This isn't about becoming a different person. It's about coming home to the one who's been waiting underneath — reconnecting with your own aliveness, so you can live and love with presence instead of performance.

You are capable of a life lived in your aliveness, your pleasure, your power. Every moment is a chance to come home to yourself.
