the touch. is a brilliant practical tool of self care every human being with a womb needs to learn. Marie-Sophie combined her extensive clinical experiences with the wisdom of eastern spiritual teachings into a very compact, deepening practice of self-love. After attending the four sessions each weekend, I felt so much closer to my body, a presence and a lightness as well as reverence for how much the body endures. it is unbelievable how much energy or trauma are stored in the body parts, how much our body yearns for our own touch and how effective our own touch is in healing itself. the touch allowed me to get closer to my body in a way that I have never experienced before, especially as someone who grew up with a negative self body image. Through self-massage, I was able to approach the idea of touching my body in a more sacred way. The techniques shared are very simple yet profound. It is definitely one of the best investments I have ever made, especially during the pandemic. Thank you so gratefully, Marie-Sophie! Your work is incredibly important and needed right now.

I honestly share with you one of my psychedelic experiences. I met a tai chi master and a flower fairy. They taught me how to move. That's how I also got the idea of "SPIRAL" and "8 energy flow". At the same time, you appeared as my mentor ( I feel that way if you don't mind) . The universe is actually sending a real person to inspire me.
First, it was the "touch" series that taught me to respect and love my own body. Allow touch on my own skin consciously and sense who I am, what I need. It was so sensational and there was so much self love during the sessions. Remember I shared that I want to be beautiful after the class? Now I think I can explain this feeling of wanting to be beautiful. It is the desire to be good and to respect myself. Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to feel loved.
In the second class of the FLOW, I actually had tears running out when we were invited to move freely just by initiating from moving the pelvis. To me, it was a rare chance to really move from the heart. I enjoyed that little dance to myself a lot. Because of your warm and kind guidance, I had one of the best moments with myself. Afterwards, I realised I do not dance, I move beautifully :) It might sound very exaggerated, but to me it was like untying a knot in my heart. Thank you for the wonderful flow of classes. It was beautifully designed and it was very easy to follow through with your clear guidance.

Through the online course the touch. with Marie-Sophie I have learned through simple exercises to free my body from the stresses of everyday life and to release tensions. What I learned accompanies me daily and I notice how I explore my body more and more and connect with my mind. Marie-Sophie is so right when she says that it is not witchcraft to initiate physical and mental healing processes from oneself and to treat them specifically. However, the work with Marie-Sophie is still magical, because she showed me a feminine power, which I had not known before. I can highly recommend the course for every woman who wants to learn to work with her body and mind and explore new ways of healing.

Nowadays, where the ownership of our own female-read bodies is so inherently important, Marie Sophie gives us a precious approach at hand. Her program THE TOUCH. I have been directed through my inner and outer body in such a loving and at the same time professional way. Through the guided self-massages I was able to conceive my body, sense connections and felt deeply comfortable in my own skin. I was given movements that can be integrated into everyday life and allow me to wander through it, feeling satiated and soft. Marie Sophie's THE TOUCH is clear, compact, comprehensible and deeply pleasant for one's own salvation.
