ABOUT ME
Katharina K. Kirchner
My profession and my calling is to support you on your path. To listen to you, to empower you and to give you back the confidence that you are unique and exactly right.
Why should you work with me of all people?
A legitimate question! Well, firstly, I don’t think you came across my website by chance.
Do you?
I HAVE WALKED THE PATH
My medicine
- Quick grasp of people | situations | moods | energies
- integrative work involving body | psyche | energy work
- Focus on self-responsibility | empowerment
- my work brings concrete change to your everyday life and your well-being
- Innovative, creative approach
- Sound training and knowledge: Psychology studies and federally recognized psychotherapist in integrative body psychotherapy (IBP) | Therapist for clinical psychoneuroimmunology | Yoga teacher with more than 2000 hours of training | Practitioner of energy work according to A.J.Stäger |
- Practical experience: working as a psychologist/psychotherapist and teaching yoga since 2012, including leading further training courses for yoga teachers
- High presence and empathy
- Courage, clarity, discipline, precision, depth, cordiality
But what I find more important than all that is that I have walked the path and continue to walk it. I know what it means not to feel good enough, to have relationship problems, to have the feeling of having to do everything alone and so on… And I also know what it means to accept help and to be amazed at the changes and development that are possible. That is why I am so convinced of my work.

EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED
Thank you
I am incredibly grateful to life that it has been so good to me. Born a white woman in an industrialized country, into a normally neurotic, intact family in the countryside. With access to education, food and healthcare. With the right to vote and a welfare system. Insane, isn’t it? And then on top of that, all these wonderful people who support, teach and inspire me.
This thanks goes to:
my family and extended family, who have always challenged and encouraged me.
my wonderful, awake friends and companions, without whom the path would be too steep and lonely.
to all the men in my life who have always stood by my side so energetically and lovingly.
the teachers who always saw my greatness and beauty before I did (especially Chameli Ardagh, Maitra, Meenakshi Devi Bhavanani and Bharat Shetty).
my guys from yoga studies, Johannes Glarner & Stefan Faust. I wouldn’t know who I would rather work with.
Micha Stephan and Katharina Kunz, who generously gave me their time and are responsible for many of the great photos here.
Cora Banek, who has realized this wonderful site with professionalism and cordiality.
and the birds in my garden, the sun that just shines, the lake that always welcomes me anew and of course Mother Earth, my greatest teacher.
