About

​​​

My name is Noam (he/him). I’m a Berlin-based therapist and workshop facilitator, blending somatics, movement, and Family Constellation work to support people in finding clarity, deepen their connection with themselves through the body, and building a meaningful partnership with it. ​

My work is not bound to a certain method, but integrates all my fields of knowledge into one comprehensive frame. At the same time it is grounded in my own experience, insights and processes. In this page, I want to share some of this personal context and illustrate how it infroms and enrich my work.

​​

As a child, I was fascinated with books and read frantically. Growing up into teenager this cognitive inclination developed to an intellectual pursuit. I became deeply engaged with language, meaning, definitions of truth, formal logic, and writing poetry. I left school when I was 16 and went on to study Philosophy and Linguistics at university.

​

​

The academic studies was my first attempt of seriously making sense of the world and life. I found a lot of stafication in it, yet something about their abstract nature and rationality made me feel I have to leave certain parts of me behind. And so, I began to look for an alternative, for a way toe explore the mysteries of myself and existacne - without having to let go of my individuality. ​

​

Following a profound mystical experience, my focus shifted to dancing and embodiment. I attended Vipassana retreats, studied dance intensely for two years at Hakvutza dance school, and became deeply fascinated with somatics. I really wanted to understand the organic language of sensations and impulses, and embarked on a serious study of the Feldenkrais Method, becoming eventually a trained Practitioner. Around the same time, I also discovered Taiji and the spiritual-physical universe of internal martial arts, which had a huge impact on my perspective and taught me a lot about making connection with people, being direct and inner fortitude. 

 ​​

Getting in touch with sensations brought joy, depth and playfulness into my life. But, at the same time, anxiety, anger, immense fear and helplessness also surfaced. They manifested physically in a variety of forms: headaches and weakness that eventually became a permanent like state, throat aches that made it difficult to speak, heartburns despite eating a very balanced diet and other disturbing phenomenas. 

​​​

All of that kept getting louder and louder, until one day a part of me refused to eat. Whatever I was putting inside my mouth was met with intense rejection: severe heartburn and other digestive diffculties. Medically there was nothing wrong with me, yet I lost a great deal of weight and became even weaker and more overwhelmed.

​​​​

It took time to acknowledge that the root of all this is emotional, that I don't want to eat, and not that: I cannot eat. This opened a path for change and through years of therapy, I learned how to listen and collaborate, instead of fighting myself. And slowly also to integrate my work on movement, sensations, emotions and language.  An instrumental approach in my process was the work of Family Constellation, which I also studied, becoming a facilitator myself.

​​​

Studying family constellation and undergoing all these processes, shifted my proffesional focus. While my work continues to be anchored in physicality, it revolves around broader themes, that are more psychological in nature. My workshops empower participants to use movement and embodiment as tools for exploring realtionships and developing autonmy and trust in their own bodies and internal processes
