Who it is for
For those who want to work consciously with physical tension and pay attention to what they notice while the body is being worked on. Sessions take place only in my studio in Brno at Králova 21; I do not offer them as a mobile service.
What happens
I do not follow a fixed script. Depending on the person, the work may include conscious breathing, touch and pressure of varying intensity, soft tissue work, Tok Sen or other body techniques where suitable – and also moments of calm and space for your own awareness.
Beforehand I explain how the work will go, which techniques may be used and how much touch there will be. I keep adjusting the intensity to how you respond. Stronger pressure does not automatically mean a better result.
You can stay dressed for the session – ideally in close-fitting but comfortable clothes, such as sportswear or yoga clothes. For oil De-Armouring it is better to undress and cover yourself with a sarong or a sheet.
Consent and boundaries
Consent is not given just once at the start – it applies throughout the whole session and you can change it at any time. At any moment you can refuse a particular touch or technique, lower the intensity, change the boundaries of touch, ask for a break or end the session.
What to expect
Various reactions sometimes appear during the work – a change in breathing, trembling, a need to move, laughter, tears, anger or, on the contrary, deep calm. None of them has to appear and there is no need to bring them on. If a strong emotion comes, I do not try to intensify it or “get it out”: I slow down or stop, and together we check whether you want to continue, change the way we work, or take some space.
There is no good-quality direct clinical evidence for De-Armouring that would justify claiming it treats trauma, PTSD, anxiety or “stored emotions”. It is not psychotherapy and does not replace care from a mental health professional.
