“I fell in love with Hakomi for multiple reasons. First and foremost that Hakomi is not trying to fix anything. Just creating special space in a very beautiful way for whatever wants to be seen. I feel Hakomi as a non-invasive, gentle way in becoming aware of one’s beliefs and patterns and revealing what else could be true. Hakomi asks what’s right in the world and I enjoy answering.”
James
“Initially, I was fascinated by the naturalness, non-violence and trust of this method. By the understanding that everything that has been learned and carried from the past is visible in the present moment, and that within each person there are absolutely all the resources to release the obstacles to relaxation. To date, I have experienced my biggest changes in maladaptive beliefs using the Hakomi method. I have clearly experienced that the body knows how to heal. If given a chance, healing happens from the inside out, it happens by itself and spontaneously.”

“In the Hakomi exercises, I have come into deeper contact with myself, I have experienced going through feelings in a safe, held space, and in the process I have witnessed genuine human encounters that are mutually supportive and caring. Hakomi is a soft approach to discovering and exploring your feelings, habits, needs, hidden within yourself. In the course of being together and doing exercises, a special flow is created, a new space of being, in which insights about oneself, other people and life arise, and from which changes can begin.”
Karmen
“Perhaps what I love most about Hakomi is its inventiveness; that it is possible to be curious about everything. Also about my own patterns and behaviors that I usually repress or hide within myself. In Hakomi workshop, there is simply such an atmosphere that shame and fear are replaced by curiosity and excitement. It creates a lot of air and space. In general, exploring any subject through the body is so fundamentally different from analyzing or thinking about it. A completely new and surprising view of things may emerge. It is kind of magical and very liberating!”
