WE MEET IN LISTENING


i listen for you.
you listen for me.
we care for ourselves
as we care for each other.
we meet in truth,
honouring, that we are different.
we are free to step away
and free to return.

sometimes we challenge each other –
when we do, we stay kind.
sometimes we move as one –
and still we remember ourselves.

when we drift apart,
we pause.

returning to listening,
to meet again.

SYNERGY

the current that moves through everything, because nothing was ever separate to begin with.

ABOUT SYNERGETIC MOVEMENT

synergetic movement is a pathway back to the rhythm we were born with — the body holding stardust, the breath moving with wind, our inner tides echoing the moon. rooted in movement, expression, radical presence, listening and awareness, it invites a return: to the body, to the earth, to the invisible threads that hold all things together. not a movement of the body alone, but of energy, presence and relationship.

deepening the conversation between what moves within us and what moves around us, remembering that nothing is separate. this work is for humans and animals alike. it honours the language beneath words — of listening, sensing, being — where healing becomes something we create together, across species. not a destination, but a rhythm we return to.

ABOUT MAIKE

i don’t come from one lineage, one teacher, one system i can point to and say — this is where i learned.
i come from life. from workshops and initiations, from animals and silence.
i learn from the inside out — with my body, my sensitivity, a way of knowing that doesn’t always translate into straight lines.
i am not one color. i am many, and they keep changing. what holds all of it isn’t a fixed shape — it’s a root, something underneath the shifting that stays still while everything above it moves.
my work lives in that same paradox — structure and freedom, stillness and motion, softness and strength — not as opposites to balance, but as one current running both directions at once.
i don’t offer a method to follow. i offer presence: mine, met with yours, met with the animals, the land, whatever is here. not to fix what’s broken in you — i don’t believe you’re broken — but to help you remember a rhythm your body already knows.

OFFERINGS

SIX WEEKS OF LISTENING

a practice of listening — through the eyes of another being, and through the body’s own.

the herd doesn’t meet a role. doesn’t meet a story, an explanation, the shape we’ve trained ourselves into. their attention lands on what’s here — not in words, but read in breath, in posture, in the vibration under the skin. nothing decided in advance. no script, no fixed form. what unfolds is followed.
between those meetings with the herd, the body picks up the thread. sensation before word — a pattern that keeps returning, an ache that hasn’t resolved, or nothing named at all, just an open field and a nervous system finding its own pace. no correct shape. no performance. skin, breath, belly, bone — each already thinking. followed, not corrected. six weeks. the same question, asked twice — once by an animal, once by the body. not fixing. not becoming. remembering what was never broken.

1:1 journey — 3 meetings in person with the herd, 3 meetings online – 390-620€

REMEMBERING BEING

a practice of listening — through the eyes of another being.

the herd doesn’t meet a role. doesn’t meet a story, an explanation, the version of ourselves we’ve learned to perform. their attention is on what’s actually here, not what’s expected to be here.
nothing is decided in advance. what unfolds is followed — observation, movement, touch, silence, direct contact, whatever the moment asks for. no fixed form. the herd leads as much as anything does.
in the gaze of another being, something gets remembered — not learned, not taught. something underneath everything trained into us, still intact, waiting to be met by eyes that were never asking us to be anything else.
what happens is different every time. nobody meets the herd the same way twice.

private sessions — 80-120€

INNER JOURNEYS

a practice of listening — to what’s asking to be met.

sometimes we feel far from ourselves. not broken — just distant. these sessions are not about fixing what’s wrong. there’s nothing wrong. they’re about meeting what’s here — the tension, the ache, the thing that’s been asking for attention and hasn’t been met.
touch, when it’s there. words, when they’re needed. breath. silence. whatever the body is ready for is what gets followed — not a set path, no protocol decided in advance. the body knows before anyone does. what rises gets listened to, and the pace it sets is the pace that’s kept.
what settles isn’t always comfort first — sometimes it’s contact, with what’s been avoided, met without judgment for the first time in a while.
nothing here is being repaired. it’s being met — exactly as it is, in whatever shape that takes today.

private session — in person or online – 80-120€

MOVEMENT EXPLORATION

a practice of listening — seeing through the eyes of the body, sensing what arises from within.

when we give space to sensation before word, the body senses itself before it’s explained.
this practice can begin anywhere. with an open field, and a receptive mind. or with something specific — a pattern that keeps repeating, a physical ache that hasn’t resolved, a question about a particular part of life that words haven’t been able to reach. either way, the body leads.
there’s no form to arrive at, no correct shape being reached for. just movement as it’s found — the subtlest shift sending ripples through everything it touches, inside and out. curiosity leads. not performance, not correction — attention, awareness. the body is followed, not directed.
the body speaks first. listened to, it finds its way home.

group (23-35€) or private sessions (80-120€) — in person or online 

CROSS-SPECIES LISTENING

a practice of listening across — where sensation becomes the shared language.

animals don’t speak in words. they speak in sensation — a pressure, an image, a weight in the body, a feeling that arrives whole. what gets offered here is translation. nothing more mystical than that, and nothing less.
it begins with a question — brought by the human. something about behaviour, health, something in the past that hasn’t resolved, a life transition, an ending, or simply a space for expression. from there, contact is made directly with the animal — not to schedule, but to ask. this part matters: the animal is not informed after the fact that a session is happening. the animal is asked first, and a time only gets set once there’s a yes. an animal’s agreement means something here — not an assumption of consent taken for granted because they can’t refuse in words.
what follows is both conversation and energetic work. sensation is received and translated as accurately as possible — an image, a felt state, a place in the body holding something. not interpreted into a story that isn’t there. just received and passed on.
what comes back rarely stays only about the animal. often it lands somewhere in the human too — a pattern, a grief, a thing that’s been avoided, finding its match on the other side of the conversation. two beings, translating each other.

sessions are held remotely and shared in form of a protocol – 80-120€

maike opens a space where my nervous system can relax and become regulated. it's what my body was longing for: to slow down, ground and intimately get to know the ways in which i naturally want to move. her sessions offer a nice mix of depth, lightness and humour where slowness and micro-movements might grow and accelerate towards yogic asanas, leaving my system in a much more peaceful state.

meeting maike and her wonderful work (even if 'just' by phone) was a blessing for me and my three cats. they are doing much better - physically as well as on a soul level. it touches my heart to see how the three of them developed as individuals and as as a team.
the health issues are gone and their fears are becoming less and less. i am beyond grateful for that and for maike always being there when we needed her. you are our number one contact in case of emergency.

"maike is just a wonderful human being: deeply rooted with a pragmatic down to earth approach to live whilst being highly sensitive and perceptive at the same time. i felt held and cared for at any time during the session she gave me, releasing old trauma out of my physical body and my energetic field. deep trust to speak out everything without fear of being judged, a dance between peaceful quietness and hearty laughter. her physical touch speaks of her true fondness to all living species. i feel cleansed, refreshed and peaceful after her treatment. thank you so much, maike!"

angelaabout movement exploration

i‘ve been attending classes with maike for a couple of years now and each session is an absolute pleasure. the serene setting creates the perfect ambiance for relaxation and introspection. maike leads with intuition and empathy, creating a safe space where i feel comfortable to express myself fully. through maikes guidance i‘ve learned the invaluable practice of truly listening to the body. her intuitive teaching style encourages mindfulness and self-awareness, fostering a deep sense of gratitude for the body’s capabilities. i always leave not only profoundly grateful but also rejuvenated both physically and mentally. i can highly recommend maike to anyone looking for a deeply enriching mind and body experience.

milaabout cross-species conversation

'maike has been working with our rescue dog apu for several weeks. she worked with him trough old traumata and helped him and us to feel more safe, become more calm and find a way to be with each other – beyond what we could have imagined. at the time we contacted maike we were overwhelmed by the situation and considered giving apu away. maike helped us to gain more understanding and compassion for our dog and gave as important information about his needs and wishes, what was incredible helpful for our everyday life. after each session he was very relaxed and sleepy. one particular impressive experience was when our dog didn’t want to leave the house after being being electrocuted on a walk, after maike worked with him he dared to go out again, a huge measurable difference. the contact with maike was always very positive and uncomplicated. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to everyone!'

thank you, maike, for your inspiring and empowering teaching style. your dedication to synergetic movement has truly transformed my practice, and i'm grateful for the positive impact you've had on my journey. after every class i feel more by myself and leave with a warm heart.

i had two sessions with maike and the impact of her work is amazing - either on the physical as on the energetic level. i have had issues with very low stress tolerance for my whole life and am into embodiment and nervous system regulation for many years. in maike's treatment i could feel my body relax on a deep level and also sense an energetic shift. it is not easy to explain what happens through her work but in the time after the sessions i developed more and more serenity within myself and started to let go easier. i will definitely keep on working with maike on my resilience and can highly recommend her.

claudiaabout inner journeys

from the very beginning i felt really comfortable with maike.
her deep sensitivity and grounded nature, combined with her warm and caring attitude, create a safe space that allows me to connect deeply with myself.
maike's approach is very gentle and thanks to her empathetic support, i was able to let go of traumatic blockages on both an energetic and physical level.
with every session i am slowly landing more and more in my body.
and she not only holds space for reconnecting with myself, but she was also incredibly helpful in communicating with my little cat.
thank you, so much maike, for the moments of slowing down, connection and presence i experience during the sessions!
