the Art of the Work
Method
The foundation of Ceremonify rests on one core value: Right to exist. Everything you carry is allowed to be here – your grief, your pain, your entire experience doesn't need to be hidden away or solved. We guide you through the profound layers of grief and transition, restoring trust and connection. Our goal is to liberate grief from the shadows of shame and silence, so that we can truly see, feel and support each other in our complete humanity. Here you are allowed to be fully human.
Authentic connection
The strength of the work lies in authentic connection – with yourself, with your experience, and with others who are also finding their way through grief. For while grief belongs to the core of being human, your experience of it is entirely your own. In that meeting between what we share and what is uniquely yours, space emerges where your grief is finally welcome.

How I work
We create the space where grief is fully allowed to exist. We give permission for what truly lives within you. And with that, everything begins to move. What has been suppressed for so long by the discomfort of the outside world finds here a place of deep connection. First you rediscover your inner alignment with yourself. From that solid foundation you can weave yourself back into the world around you. This is where transformation begins: in the safe space where you are allowed to be completely yourself.
Embodied Work
Ceremonify works from an embodied approach – we approach grief from what your body experiences in the moment. Drawing from my physiotherapy experience and perspective on the physical body, I seek where openings lie within your grief. From a safe foundation we descend deeper into feelings that are often suppressed.
Applied Techniques
We use breathwork to connect you directly with your body, hypnosis woven into meditations for deep relaxation, and movement that helps release held tension. Together we create space for withheld emotions and break through old patterns that hold you back. Everything at your pace, from safety and trust.
Energetic & Transformative Work
Energetic movements form the underlying current of all Ceremonify processes. This can mean that deceased loved ones present themselves, that old family pain surfaces, or that feelings of guilt and shame ask for transformation. Letting go happens in natural layers – each layer in its own time. Sometimes this is supported by gentle touch and energetic guidance, always with your permission.
What we achieve
We create freedom in our existence – a place within ourselves where there is no exclusion. We discover a deep trust that we can carry and become more powerful in the depths. The great pearl you find there is your own strength in descending. This flows through to all aspects of your life – even in the heights. Your horizons reach further, your confidence grows. You develop a deeper understanding of Life itsel
You become enriched.
