What was your most profound “aha” moment on your healing journey?
One of my biggest “aha” moments was realizing that healing doesn’t come from fixing what is broken but from integrating what has been disconnected. I had spent years searching for external solutions, trying to “fix” myself, only to realize that true healingcomes from embracing all parts of myself—including the wounded and shadowed aspects. Another profound realization came through bodywork: the body holds deep wisdom,and when we learn to listen to it, it reveals everything we need to heal and evolve. That shift—from controlling to trusting—changed everything for me.
Do you have a daily practice for yourself and what does it look like?
Yes, my daily practice is a mix of breathwork, movement, and energy awareness. I start my mornings with a short breathwork session to set my energy for the day, followed by movement or intuitive somatic exercises—to awaken my body. Throughout the day, I practice micro-awareness techniques, checking in with my body and breath, making sure I stay connected and present. One key element of my practice is adaptability—rather than forcing a rigid routine, I listen to what my body needs each day.
What advice can you give to someone who is just embarking on their own healing journey?
Start with the body. Many people approach healing through the mind—seeking understanding, reading, or analyzing emotions—but real transformation happens when we engage the body. Breathwork, movement, and somatic awareness are powerful gateways to healing. Also, be patient and gentle with yourself. Healing isn’t a linear journey—it’s a spiral. Some days you’ll feel amazing, and other days old wounds may resurface. This is all part of the process. Finally, find a supportive community. Healing is deeply personal, but it doesn’t have to be lonely. Surround yourself with people who uplift and understand you.
What is your advice for someone who would love to turn their passion for well-being and healing into a professional career path?
First, embody the work before teaching it. The best facilitators are those who have walked the path themselves. Make your personal practice a priority and continue your own healing journey. Second, invest in quality training that not only gives you techniques but also teaches you how to hold space ethically, work with different client needs, and create a safe environment. Holosomatic Therapy, for example, integrates both personal development and professional facilitation skills. Third, stay curious and flexible. The wellness field is always evolving, and being open to new learnings will help you refine your approach and stand out. Lastly, trust yourself and take action. Many people get stuck in self-doubt, thinking they need to know “everything” before they start. The truth is, your unique experience and energy are already valuable. Start where you are, and your practice will grow with you.
The main offerings of InnerCamp are Teacher Trainings for health coaches who want to become Holosomatic Therapists. With the Holosomatic Experience, you are also bringing the offering to consumers. Is this the first tour you are doing? And are you planning more of these types of events in the future?
This is the last tour we have done. We started our tours at the beginning of 2024 with groups of 30-40 people, and in the last workshops, we have had over 450 participants—which shows how much demand and interest there is in this work. While the experience has been incredibly rewarding, we will not be doing tours like this anymore because they require a significant amount of time and energy from our team. I am also becoming a father in a few weeks, which means I need to bring more efficiency into the events I facilitate. Instead of spending one or two weeks on the road, we will now focus on city retreats and larger weekend events, allowing for deeper immersion without the logistical challenges of extended tours. Additionally, we want to place a greater focus on educational talks and ensure that participants truly embody the practices. This is why our events will be longer in duration moving forward, giving attendees more time to integrate what they learn and experience. Our vision is to continue expanding Holosomatic Therapy globally, bringing this work to different cultures and communities while refining our approach to create more impactful and sustainable events. We are always evolving, and new offerings will continue to emerge as we listen to what the collective needs.
Thank you for your time – and all the best for InnerCamp.
