meet Judith
Mother, Somatic Healer and Movement Coach
Holistic or somatic Healing to me means seeing the body and the person as whole while integrating all the systems of the body.
I started my business Reconnect Holistic Healing in 2021, three years after moving to Vancouver island from Germany, where I trained and worked as a physiotherapist and personal trainer.
From the beginning of my career I have been passionate about helping people heal and reconnect to their body through bodywork and movement but there always seemed to be a missing piece.
When I moved to Canada I went down my own personal path of healing after suffering from chronic neck pain for years. I dove into eastern medicine, became a yoga teacher and mindfulness teacher and spent 7 years studying somatic healing and somatic practices like breathwork and meditation…and my own life transformed.
Through linking my knowledge around movement and anatomy with the wisdom of the body and the nervous system, I have created a unique customized approach to healing that offers effective long term results.
3 pillars of holistic healing
The Tissue (Muscles, Fascia, Joints, Ligaments)
Releasing tension and reestablishing tissue alignment.
The Body- Postural Alignment and Movement
Creating personalized exercise programs based on the intake and initial assessment.
The Nervous System
Addressing the nervous system by establishing mind body connection and releasing muscle tension thats caused by stress or trauma.
