In bodywork - and in life itself - we often discover that what hurts most isn’t what’s happening now, but the story we’ve woven around it.
A story that once protected us, but over time may have become a quiet form of rigidity.

We tell ourselves stories all the time.
About who we are, what happened to us, what we believe we deserve or must avoid.
These narratives shape us, give us direction… yet they can also limit how we feel and how we meet life.

Sometimes the body carries these stories as if they were built into its structure.
Muscles tighten, breath shortens, gestures repeat, speaking without words.
And still, beneath it all, something remains untouched: the living experience of the present moment.

When we stop identifying with the story, even for a moment - when we listen to the body without interpreting - something deeper begins to unfold.
A sense of space appears, of possibility, of being without explanation.

Perhaps there, in that quiet space, true freedom begins:
the freedom not to be someone defined by a story,
but someone who can feel and live — here, now.

I invite you to explore this question through your own body:
Who am I when I stop telling myself my story, and simply breathe, feel, and be?

In my bodywork sessions, this space opens for the body to speak and for the story to soften —
so you can meet yourself not through what has been,
but through what is alive in you now.
