about me
I offer 1:1 somatic bodywork sessions based on the Pantarei Approach and facilitate workshops. I work in Berlin and online. During my sessions I use touch, verbal communication and guided movement. While I guide, we will follow your flow. The ultimate intention of a session is to access new experiences within yourself.
I work on the intersection of bodies, knowledge and liberation. As a bodyworker and facilitator I intend to create spaces of integral learning with and through the BodyMind, backed up by an emancipatory approach. I believe in the power of transmutation, spiralic healing and interconnected well-ness.

That being said, I would be not close to where I am in my evolution without..
growing up with the challenges and benefits of a multi-cultural family
receiving the love, traditions and values from my Pakistani family as an antidote to my Western upbringing
the teachings I received through intimate relationships and from my loved ones
self-study with a special emphasis on audre lorde, bell hooks, Lama Rod Owens, Martin Luther King Jr, Frantz Fanon, Thích Nhất Hạnh, Octavia Butler etc.
all the privileges and access afforded by a German passport
each little synchronous encounter with a another soul that I was meant to meet and learn from
continously healing from my “personal” and intergenerational trauma, educating myself in an undogmatic manner from different traditions and practicing a beginners-mind
