The philosophy of body armour according to Wilhelm Reich

The theory of “armour” goes back to Wilhelm Reich and states that our bodies develop protective armour in response to the pains of life. This armour develops through:

• Repeated stress and daily pressures
• Childhood experiences and traumatic events
• Bottled-up emotions and suppressed feelings
• Systemic and societal realities

This bodily tension—stored in tissues, cells, and fascia—remains in the body until we consciously release it.

What is trauma? More than just intense events

Trauma does not only result from extreme events. The body experiences trauma when it is in states of stress, fear, tension, or pain and becomes contracted.

Simply put: trauma is when you have to cope with too much on your own.

The fast pace of modern life generates chronic stress, which exhausts our system and prevents us from feeling fully alive—until the stuck energy is released.

De-Armouring: an ancient practice with Taoist roots

While De-Armouring may feel new to many, it is an ancient practice with deep roots in Taoist teachings. This sacred practice of un-armouring appears in many traditions and forms throughout history.

Structure of a De-Armouring Session

1. Body Scan – Intuitive perception of your blockages

At the beginning of each session, I perform a conscious body scan to perceive potential blockages or areas where energy is stagnant. This is done before our conversation so I can sense without bias what your body wants to communicate subtly.

2. Anamnesis – Your story and intention

Next, we talk about your personal history, any current symptoms, and your intention for the session.

3. Holistic Bodywork – Individualized techniques

I work from a holistic, individualized approach, combining various techniques:

• Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) – for somatic discharge
• Access Bars – to release mental blockages
• Conscious breathing – for regulation and opening
• Fascia therapy – to release physical adhesions
• Trigger point activation – for targeted tension release
• Energy work – to harmonize energy flow
• Shamanic elements – for spiritual integrationTrauma Release Exercises (TRE) – für somatische Entladung

The power of music in a De-Armouring session:
A central element of every session is carefully curated music. These multidimensional soundscapes are not random—they serve as a sensory and emotional map supporting your inner process. Music helps to:

• Reach altered states of consciousness
• Enable emotional release
• Promote neurosomatic reorganization
• Activate the body’s natural healing intelligence

4. Integration – Relaxation and closing conversation

Each session ends with a relaxation phase, followed by a closing conversation. Together we integrate the experience and the energies that have moved.

I tailor each De-Armouring session to the individual needs of my clients and remain open to whatever may unfold—always within the boundaries and needs of both sides.

My focus: to trust the process with a humble, accepting, and loving heart.
