Heart-Based Bodywork with Aromatic Plants Dear Loves, my name is Sabine.
I am a trained Aromatherapist, Bowen therapist, Bodyworker in different hands-on modalities and beyond...
My starting point was 17 years ago where I cultivated
the awareness of my body language and love to Nature. The idea of healing by the natural remedies guided her to go
for the path of connecting with the aromatics, and discovering the power of touch. And this journey is continuing in depth, expansion, truth, love...
"I would delicately serve for the wellness of Human and our Earth, humbly by connecting the precious plant essences with the bodies and the hearts, unfolding the light and beauty within"

Dear Hong Kong friends,
How have you been feeling?
Life called me back here as I have a lesson "to love in time" to learn. With the challenges and transformation last year, have again come closer to my essence, I would like to share this gift with you, in the Aromatic Heart & Bodywork.
It is not about to repair you, to heal you or to get rid of your pain, instead it's to unpack yourself, to breathe and let go, to meditate in touch - a space where the tension melts and healing happens from within.
By giving/receiving massages and supports, there were few moments that I was seen as I am and was shown how powerful is simply BE.
It is not about doing intentionally that I do this then I am seen, appreciated, valued. It is coming from a place of embracing the gifts and qualities, sharing the love, passion and what is important for my life, serving the good of well-being. The more I am aware of this essence, the more it becomes strength to support others.
After that, the rest is out of my control. It takes effort to learn to not force things to happen, but give space and allow it to unfold at the right pace, like the rhythm of nature, I am the witness and also part of it.
Touch is a reciprocal exchange, there is always teaching and learning to the giver and receiver, it can be a healing, empowering and nourishing experience that we can give.
I feel joyful and honour to share my gift with you.
Life has become more rich and deep by wandering through the layers of darkness and lightness, in such one week of self exploration journey with these beautiful familiar unfamiliar souls.
As I went there the second time, It is not merely a training to learn massage techniques, but a powerful container for self- allowance, initiation, realisation, compassion, acceptance. so to others, from a place of stillness, our hearts, our touch.
It's a journey of shredding skins and becoming whole and nothing.
I am beyond grateful for being led by life and experiencing the intensity with the group of beloved friends and beautiful humans. for being supported and supporting.
Thank you my amazing mentors Anu and Gyana , beautiful moments captured by Beni and our family. ❤️

This year I turned 36 and is the 10th year of being an alternative therapist, that I've gone far still feeling even more curious on this path.
In the beginning of my practice, I did consultation, chose oils according to people’s symptoms and offered a soothing massage. They felt good afterwards but the same issues always came back again. I questioned myself, “Am I doing something wrong?” “Am I not good and knowledgeable enough?” “What can I do more for the client?”... It was like wearing a beautiful yet uncomfortable dress, having the need of constantly checking and adjusting my posture. I always felt something was missing; something was not complete and not aligned with what I felt and wanted to do.
Last month I returned to Hong Kong my hometown and offered my integrated tools to my beloved friends, familiar and new faces. A friend of mine asked me: "after these years, your psychic power must be stronger!", and I said "no, I give back the job to explore and to welcome all inside to people.". As my partner and many of you said that my touch(presence) is more grounded than before, I've realized that is about Being not Doing.
During these years of searching, learning, reflecting, failing and growing, my understanding has been broadened that it includes seeing the person as well as the plant as a whole, the symptom as a communicator, the connection of human body with their environment/Mother Earth, the cosmic and astrological influence on human and plant, the body-psyche expression, taking and inspiring the responsibility of self care, and so on…
I appreciate and bow to the complex uniqueness of life. The shifting point of my practice is when I gave up the idea of treating people/symptoms, but with my loving presence to hold the space, to allow healing happen and to support people to explore. It is very important to integrate the knowledge, mindfulness, intuition, observation, sensitivity, compassion, trust and embody these qualities.... I am very grateful to continuously work with aromatic plants and share the magic of touch with you.
Thank you Thank you Thank you 🙏🏽💝
Thank you for capturing with her delicacy. Thank you Oshadhi 香港特約經銷商 - Planet Love Aromatherapy for the healing space
Once my dear friends introduced me an offering practice to Nature with crystals and herbs, and the teaching of Larch, that is important to give a solid form of offering than just energy, as the living beings are depend on "matters" to exist.
The first time when I heard about spagyric alchemy in a class of the School of Evolutionary Herbalism, in the modern herbal medicine puts the focus on Mercury or/and Sulfur, yet misses the physical body of the plant- Salt actually increases the efficiency of the medicine in a smaller dose.
The physical bodies are the visible door to the invisible yet essential part of the living forms, without the fundamental connection, cares and love to our bodies, we cannot do what we love, feel the emotions, pursue a higher path.
Sometimes we just need to keep in touch with our body, to come back to this physical home from going too far, from those feelings, emotions, thoughts, hustles, to feel the lightness, the motivation, the strength, the love again.

What is your deepest need in the sense of touch?
It may be the need of relaxation
the need of relieving pain and discomfort
the need of moving stagnant energy
the need of coming back to your body
the need of feeling home and safe
or as simple as, "I just want to be held"
What is your inner voice whispering what you've forgotten?
Share with me if you feel right,
I am here for you.
The souls of the plants are here for you.
Love,
Sabine

It's a long way home...
My body is the guide, the intense goose bumps brought me there, yet I didn't know what was coming on my way.
I've received some feedbacks from my clients that they felt the sense of respect, nourishment, safety, being held, realisation, confirmation, love through my touch, and the profound effect continued with their willingness to open and explore.
Until this Silence of Touch Rebalancing Bodywork training, I experienced all this with my own body, in such safe and loving space we had created altogether, allowing us be open, raw, vulnerable, emotional, honest, authentic, curious to ourselves and others.
I have never felt so deeply connected with myself and with other human beings beyond relationships, no separation and no losing oneself at the same time. The experience of fully presence and fundamental connectedness dissolved a thick layer of fear in me, fear of rejection, abandonment, being unloved. In these cofactors of time, place and people It has revealed so much wisdom in my body, and it still keeps going on and on, I look forward how it will be after all modules!
this experience is inexplicable by words and completely mind-blowing, but the body remembers, the cells remember, the joints remember, the heart remembers.
Much deep gratitude from my heart to Anu and Gyana our teachers and facilitators for creating this synergy of psychosomatic technique and holding this powerful space for us, to my lovely soulful classmates for being together.
plus a Special Thank to Vind my beloved friend for sharing his passion to capture the beautiful heartfelt moments. He created other videos about his adventure of self exploration, I am so inspired and touched by his words and courage, if it does the same to you, a click to subscribe will support his journey 🌟 https://youtube.com/?feature=shared
I am so excited to share this chapter of my journey with you all. I am still overwhelmed by all the beauty, connection and love that me and my wonderful grou...
