Welcome

I’m Nora Mertens – a holistic massage therapist and somatic practitioner and coach in Berlin, with over 10 years of professional experience.

I am also a licensed Heilpraktiker for Psychotherapy, Ayurveda consultant, anthropologist (M.A.), and mother of two.

I hold a safe, trauma- and nervous system informed space for everything that wants to be seen, felt and released. Here, your system can soften, and your body can be listened to and followed.

I offer individual massage sessions, somatic therapy processes and guidance, as well as Intuitive Body Readings.

Together we find out you need today. I work holistically and look at you as a whole human. I read bodies, patterns, and energies deeply and give feedback. My work is rooted in deep presence and space-holding.

I hold a space where transformation unfolds through being seen, felt and deeply received. Not as a neutral observer, but as an embodied, empathic presence, beyond socio-cultural conditioning and judgment.

I have been on my own path from trauma and collapse toward truth and sovereignty. While I guide others, I continue to grow. What I offer is real, felt and lived.

If you want to gift yourself some love and care, if you are ready to turn toward yourself and go a little deeper – if you are looking for support in better understanding yourself and your body, and to connect to more empowerment and aliveness – get in touch.

 LGBTQIA+ friendly – all identities are warmly welcome.

I work in Berlin Kreuzberg, in German and English.

MY OFFERINGS:

Please note: I am currently expanding into a clearer and more aligned expression of my work. Updated offerings and prices follow in the months ahead.

Somatic Body- and Process Work

A deep process space to connect to and integrate emotions, inner parts, tension, and trauma, and to guide you back into a sense of safety, alignment and empowerment.

I read bodies intuitively and work with presence, precision, and depth – using touch, energy work, breath, parts work, systemic approaches, Ayurvedic principles, feedback, coaching and more.

“Through her intuitive and deeply integrated work I have accessed parts of myself that have otherwise eluded me.” P.

“The physical symptom didn’t just ease – something shifted in how I relate to myself.” Jana

"You get the feeling that you are being touched and communicated with in equal parts. The shared sense of awareness opens pathways that I don’t know how to open on my own; that’s why I come here." P.

Holistic Massage

A personalized, nourishing massage session that brings body, nervous system, breath, and energy into harmony.

I combine Ayurvedic Abhyanga, Lomi Lomi, Healing Touch, classical massage techniques, breathwork, and energy work – attuned to your current emotional and physical state.

“I wasn’t treated. I was received and listened to.” S.

“Nora is a phenomenal practitioner. She is able to blend a perfect mixture of psychological safety with deep understanding of how the body works.” Shamil

"Wer den Weg zu Nora findet, kann sich auf eine Zeit des Fallenlassens und einen Zustand tiefer Entspannung freuen, der noch lange nachwirkt." Demian
