Holistic body therapy and acupuncture – what’s it all about?
Our body is constantly in motion.
We want to be able to rely on it. But in often stressful life situations, full of deadlines, desires and performance demands, we sometimes forget to pause.
Sometimes we just need to take a breath. Tensions need to be relaxed – our body and mind want to be cared for.
Sometimes a cold knocks us out and sometimes we carry issues around with us for a longer time.
Inner and outer attention to ourselves is important and yet sometimes so hard to fit into our lives.
Touch and attention can help us enter a state of consciousness where we can create harmony between mind and body.
My goal is to take the whole body into consideration. Besides the acute symptom(s), there is also the question of the underlying weakness and the history of origin. Holistic body therapy means for me to look for the access to the human being and the own self-healing impulses.

Nelly Grotefendt – Heilpraktikerin / licensed practitioner
Welcome to my website!
I’m glad you’re here! My name is Nelly Grotefendt, and I am a passionate therapist for holistic bodywork. Here I would like to tell you more about my personal background and qualifications.
My path
Since entering the world of bodywork and therapy, I have been committed to bringing about positive change. My extensive commitment to bodywork is based on my firm belief that movement and well-being are inextricably linked. My goal is to help my patients find inner and outer balance, to be able to move as pain-free as possible, to increase their well-being and to avoid injuries. This is not just about purely functional well-being, but of course also about emotional well-being.
In my work, I combine various techniques and approaches that I have acquired in the course of my training to find individual solutions for your needs and goals. My motivation to engage in bodywork stems from my personal enthusiasm for movement and physical challenges in sport and work. I firmly believe that pleasure and well-being are key elements of a healthy lifestyle.
Therapy mix
I have always enjoyed exercise myself and increasingly also athletic challenges. But my journey in bodywork began in 2018 when I completed the Intuitive Thai Meridian Massage training at the Somatic Academy. Since then, I have continuously expanded my knowledge and skills in various areas. In 2023 I completed an intensive Advanced Thai Massage & Osteopathy Training with Pau Castellsagué, in 2021 I completed the Advanced Traditional Thai Yoga Massage Training in Berlin and in 2020 I completed the Advanced Dynamic Thai Massage with Krishnataki & David Lutt at Sunshinehouse. In 2022, I expanded my expertise in trigger point therapy at the Paracelsus School Berlin to further improve my skills in pain therapy. Of course, this also includes the flossing method, which you can try out with me.
At the same time, I received my license to practice medicine professionally from the Berlin Ministry of Health, which gives me the opportunity to support my patients even more comprehensively.
Since 2022, I have further deepened my passion for acupuncture and trained at the Acupuncture Seminar Berlin. This fascinating method has inspired me to continuously expand my skills in complementary medicine.
In particular, the combination of manual therapy and acupuncture continues to fascinate me. I am, of course, also a member of the professional association for Chinese medicine and regularly undertake further training.
I would like to share the joy I feel in my work with you. So if you are looking for holistic bodywork based on expertise and experience, then get in touch! Together we will find ways to address your issues.
Thank you for your interest, and please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like to make an appointment. I look forward to meeting you in person.
