Olivier Rouiller · Somatic practitioner · Online, based in Strasbourg, France
Hakomi-informed somatic therapy online
(Re)connect with yourself, your body and the people in your life.
I offer body-centred, mindfulness-based sessions informed by the Hakomi method. It is gentle work that starts from what you are experiencing right now (sensations, emotions, impulses) to understand what keeps replaying inside you and in your relationships.
You might recognise yourself here
The same patterns keep showing up in your relationships: you over-adapt, disappear, or shut down when things get close.
You understand a lot "in your head", but your body doesn't seem to follow.
You live with a background tension or anxiety and find it hard to really settle.
Saying no, setting boundaries or expressing what you really feel is hard.
A harsh inner critic, shame or a sense of "not being enough" takes up a lot of space.
Painful past experiences still weigh on your present.
You are going through a transition (a breakup, moving abroad, a change of direction) and need a space to find yourself again.
What can change
Every path is different and I don't promise outcomes. But this is what people I work with often describe over time:
- more ease and presence in their body;
- noticing their patterns as they happen, and having a bit more choice;
- more room for emotions without being overwhelmed;
- more authentic relationships, where they dare to be themselves;
- a kinder way of relating to themselves.
How I work
The work rests on mindfulness and compassionate curiosity. We first take time to build trust and safety. Then, at your pace, we explore what shows up: a sensation, a feeling, a memory, a belief. That is often where more vulnerable parts of you can finally be met.
My practice is informed by the Hakomi method and draws on Focusing, attachment-based and trauma-informed approaches.

What people say about working with me
"If you're seeking a therapeutic experience that goes beyond traditional talk therapy and offers a holistic approach that reaches deep into the nervous system, I highly recommend working with Olivier. His ability to facilitate deep healing and guide you toward greater freedom is truly remarkable."
— Martin
"Thank you so much for the introductory session of Hakomi therapy yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised at the speed with which you connected me to my deeper emotions. I also valued your calm presence and insightful questions. I have no hesitation in recommending Hakomi therapy and you as a practitioner."
— Pav
"I find regular Hakomi sessions with Olivier to be a potent and meaningful space for exploration, embodiment, and integration. Recently, our work has allowed me to access more unknown parts of myself and invite/integrate them into my conscious awareness. I appreciate a lot the attunement, curiosity, and regulated connection that Olivier brings to a session. The work is rooted in somatic awareness and with a strong attentiveness to the nuances of intersubjective dynamics. I can highly recommend Olivier as a somatic therapist!"
— Gus
"Olivier is very good at building trust and connection, and he really made me feel seen and listened to. With subtle means, emotions awoke in my body, and he was good at holding space and letting me explore whatever came up."
— Annelie
