Somatic Healing Arts (Zürich)

Cordelia Pragita Bauer I was born and raised in Berlin in 1960. I am married and mother of a daughter. I have been living in Zurich with my family since the beginning of 2005.

Through my own experiences and encounters with physical pain and discomfort, I developed an interest in alternative forms of body therapy as a teenager and noticed that I was good with my touch. While working full time in catering and event management, I started doing massage and aqua balancing treatments part time. I also worked as a trainer for Aqua Balancing, bodywork in warm water. I was fascinated by the weightlessness and stillness of water. I enjoyed the variety of workouts and relaxation in the deep ocean. In 2000 I decided to make bodywork my main job.

With the slow, flowing and creative style of Esalen massage, I found a massage style in which I could find and develop myself. In combination with myofascial deep tissue massage and cranio-sacral therapy, I have developed a style that is simultaneously meditative-holistic, integrative and anatomically structured. Meditation is a very important resource for me in my therapeutic work, in addition to professional competence.
