Touch is Marie-Sophie Kiepe’s art - the one she lives, and practices, dances and shares. Marie-Sophie is a complementary medical practitioner, and a somatic as well as psychedelic integration coach.
Her fascination is the non-verbal art of healing. She has studied:
Physiotherapy (BSc) European School of Physiotherapy Amsterdam, Netherlands (2005-2008)
Public Health (MPH) Medical University of Vienna, Austria (2008-2010)
Osteopathic Medicine (MSc) Dresden International University, Germany (2011-2016)
She holds international licenses as a GYROKINESIS® and GYROTONIC® trainer, with training in Tibetan Energywork, Movement Meditation, and the Fascial Distorsion Model. Additionally, she incorporates trauma-informed care into her approach and is a student of Tao-Tantric arts.
Her mission is to support people of all age and background on their path of reconnecting with themselves.
Holistically. Sensually.
Since a knee injury prevented Marie-Sophie from continuing her career as a professional ballet dancer, she has been exploring the intrinsic tendency of the human body to heal itself. Along that way, she treated dancers from the Vienna State Opera (2008-2010), National Sodre Montevideo (2010-2011) and the Berlin State Ballet (2011-2019) for many years. She then worked at the Nierika Medicine Institute in Mexico (2016) to accompany people in deep transformative healing.
Together with specialists from the Charité Berlin, she has written fundamental scientific research papers on: the effects of dance therapy (2012) in curing somatic and mental illness and the treatment method osteopathy for musicians (2020).
Drawing on all this experience, Marie-Sophie has created her own therapeutic concept: the touch.(R) She combines osteopathic techniques, energy alignment and physical movement and works with dance elements, sound and vocals.
Her intention is to let her patients and clients experience their senses while guiding them to get in touch with their own body, their feelings and - eventually - with themselves.
Physicality is inner experience, connection to oneself and to all that is around us. Physicality is a beautiful way of self-healing the physical and emotional body.
Marie-Sophie combines the complexity of different therapeutic approaches, schools, and above all: her experience. Her work encompasses all five senses of her clients, yet focussing on the touch.
Philosophy
Touch is the original form of
human communication.
The expression of the inner self.
And the language of humanity.
