Stephanie Von der Thannen
Massage & Tantra Therapist, Coach, Workshops
I am a calm and optimistic person and enjoy to be in nature.
I grew up in a small village in Austria, surrounded by big mountains, beautiful nature, lots of snow in the winter.
Having an identical twin sister, I experienced the joy of unity and the challenge and need to find my own path.
In my youth I had often the feeling of not fully fitting in. I was very interested in spiritual topics and busy with questions like: "What is the meaning of life? Why are we here? What is my purpose?" etc. I was longing to follow my heart and to live and work in a way that truly resonates with me. There was an inner knowing that there must be so much more to life than commonly teached.
With age 21, this inner voice in me got so strong, that I decided to take a leap of faith and to follow it fully. This was scary and a big relief at the same time. It was the start of a great discovery journey, which led me to leave my village and to live in an Eco-village community in Portugal for many years, to explore life and finding my own truth, to travel to different countries, the joy of finding like-minded people, having my kundalini rising and getting to know my gifts and turning them into my profession.
I learned that my sensitivity is not a weakness, but a strength. My interest in the physical and energetic levels of life led me to study different modalities and techniques of massage, energy work and healing.
I feel grateful for life and all the support I received on my path.
Since 2017 I live in Stockholm (Sweden).
Now I am passionate to support others to fill their sensitivity with confidence, to be relaxed and alive in the body, to follow their inner truth and creating a fulfilled and happy life.
