How the body reacts to the connections

“Working with Michelle has given me the opportunity to learn how my body reacts to stress and the stressful situations around me. I continue to learn how my body reacts to certain behaviours and certain thoughts. Michelle works in a very close way, her ability to connect and her positive energy will help you from the moment you walk into her office. She has a direct, deep and special way of handling communication, with her direct questions and suggestions she helps to generate connections with your thoughts, behaviours, feelings and values. All this is also linked to how your body reacts to these connections. She provides the ingredients but it is you and your work that does the cooking.

Michelle undoubtedly offers the necessary tools to guide you in a process of self-knowledge of your body and how it is connected to your mind (and vice versa). She helps you and offers advice and alternatives with the connections she creates.

For me, in particular, it has helped me in the process of increasing and reinforce the resistance to face the daily stress. It has given me guidelines on how breathing plays a crucial role in this and has also taught me how to say NO to others (and to myself too) and how to “observe and listen” to your body, what questions to ask yourself in different situations.

Finally, I recommend you, who are reading this, to give yourself a chance with Michelle as she will help you and guide you in a process to find a balance in your life in which you will work on yourself to achieve your goals”.

To know how to say no

‘I’ve really enjoyed coming here. It helped me to relax and take a break from the madness of everyday life. I’ve learnt that sometimes it’s essential to know how to say no, even if it’s not something you learn overnight. It’s a process I’m still working on. These sessions have also enabled me to put what I want and need at the centre of my attention. I’ve been able to step back from my habit of always worrying about what other people want from me and wanting to please everyone. This led me to question why I do certain things. These sessions also helped me a lot to release the muscular tension in my back and diaphragm, which were my body’s reactions to stress. I’ve learnt to breathe properly and simply be in the moment, if only for a moment.’ L. researcher

Recovery Story

“I am reaching out today to express my heartfelt thanks for your wonderfully compassionate and highly skilled Grinberg consultations, which you even offered online once I became seriously ill (long Covid). I truly felt that you were personally invested in my well-being and deeply cared about my recovery. I also wanted to share the joyful news that, as of the beginning of this year, I am completely healthy again.
Since September 2023, I have been able to gradually return to work (starting with 20% in a home-office capacity). Since April of this year, I have been working full-time again and am now leading an independent research group in cognitive neuroscience.
I hope you can share my recovery story with patients suffering from severe chronic conditions to give them hope, and that it will inspire you to continue your amazing work.”

The Devil you Know

I am often asked to explain what I do in my praxis, what the benefits are for my clients or for what types of conditions my method is intended for. As my work alleviates many kind of problems and can help in many different situations in life, I always find it a little difficult to summarise what I do. Especially when “it should” be a short, simple and clear answer.
But working with emotions, body’s sensations and life situations is often far from being short, simple and clear 🙂
The ‘easier’ answer would be “in my work I teach my clients to perceive more their bodies, to better understand their automatic patterns in order to stop them” and my work “alleviates stress symptoms and physical and emotional pains”.
A bit too impersonal, don’t you think?

Better understand my body’s signals

“When I began experiencing sudden vision issues accompanied by nausea, medical tests provided no clear answers. A friend recommended Michelle, and working with her has been incredibly rewarding. Through our sessions, we identified situations that triggered my symptoms, allowing us to uncover their root causes. Michelle guided me in developing breathing techniques and mindset strategies, while also exploring deeper behavioral patterns in my life. Thanks to her support, I now have a much better understanding of my body’s signals and how to manage them. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking to make meaningful changes”.

Mind-Rest & Body-Trust

“After the sessions with Michelle, I felt safe, close to myself, light and calm. Reminding me that the mind may rest, and the body may be trusted was and still is very nourishing for me. I appreciated the mixture of deepness and lightness and the balance of talking and bodywork in the sessions, topped with helpful, practical tips for daily life. Michelle is a wholeheartedly dedicated Grinberg therapist who sees the big picture, is very supporting, warm-hearted, and creates a safe space for transformative, nourishing experiences. Therefore, I can only recommend Michelle if you’d like to start / move onwards on a journey towards more body-trust and closer to yourself. Thank you, Michelle!” S.W., psychologist
