And the thought of looking for gifts in the crowded inner city causes you chest pain?

Q***r Puls has an idea for you:

Save yourself the trouble, the planet the plastic and get a gift voucher for body treatments at my space in Holbergsgade.

Just drop me a message if you're interested!

Hi all 🦖🐝🦘🐙🦥🦜

I am happy to share that my body therapy studio is now up and running!

If you're interested in booking a session, please drop me a mail at 𝐩𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞@𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐬.𝐜𝐨𝐦 with your name, the reason you're reaching out and your preferred time slot. I will get back to you to confirm our session.

My treatments take place in a shared therapist community space located at Holbergsgade 26 in the inner city of Copenhagen. The studio is bright and cosy and I look forward to welcoming you there soon 🐚

Body therapy is for everyone who wishes to feel more at home in their own body.

Sessions with me will allow you to connect with yourself in a safe space ‎️‍🌈🐚

Together, we go on a journey of exploring your own depths. Let’s pause and turn your gaze inwards for a moment - which feelings and emotions take up space in you? Which part of your body and mind feel tight or rigid and where do these tensions come from?

We will work on releasing stuck energy to free you from blockages in your movements and thoughts. Maybe you want to focus on a specific area of your body or you are curious about new perspectives on a behaviour that has become a pattern of yours. Or maybe you just want to explore the rhythm of your own breathing - and allow your body and mind to just be.

A big thank you to 📸, Aqua 🧜‍♂️ & Julie 🌪

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲?

Body therapy is a form of touch that is based on the understanding that body and psyche are inherently interconnected. Inspired by traditional Chinese medicine, TOTUM’s theories adopt the belief that everything we experience, see and feel is stored in our body in different ways - even the things our mind can or does not want to remember.

“There is no body that is not mind, no mind that is not body.” (Maté, 2003)

Body therapy works holistically. That means the focus of a treatment is not only to alleviate the symptoms but also on exploring what might be causing them. Let’s say you are feeling pain in your neck. The cause of your pain might not necessarily be located in the same place as where you feel the pain. So while I will, of course, consider your neck, I will also be working with the rest of you to create a flow that allows your body to regain its balance and heal itself.

Typically, my treatments take 50 minutes and consist of a combination of pulsating massage and breathing techniques, acupressure, meridian treatment and conversations. Together we will work towards self-acceptance and a strong connection between your body, mind and breathing. Treatments over a longer period of time can help you with overcoming stress, anxiety, body-stored trauma and chronic pain.

I am Shantal (she/her), Copenhagen-based German, q***r Aries, pole dance instructor and a freshly baked body therapist.
After many semesters in university and a few years in the tech industry, I just couldn’t sit anymore. I wanted to live, breathe and work differently.

The first step was my education at TOTUM. Through body therapy, I got to know myself. I feel differently connected to myself, others and the world around me. I’d love to share this experience with you. My practice is open to 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲:𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 who wants to co-create a space characterised by mutual respect, understanding and safety.

My personal experience with the health system has shown me that non-normative living forms and bodies are not always met with decency. With Q***r Puls, I’d like to offer a more humane and judgement-free space where:

* No pronouns will be assumed.

* Your boundaries will be respected without questioning or judgement.

*All bodies, genders, ethnicities, backgrounds, sexualities, etc. are warmly welcome.

Hi 🪃 The change of season will bring new adventures!
School is over and Q***r Puls will rent a space.
That means... Last chance for you to get a home treatment for only 300DKK in September! Drop me a message if you want to come by 💜

Hi beautiful creatures 🪁

I am Shantal (she/her), Copenhagen-based German, Aries aaaaand body therapist in training.

In the last trimester of TOTUM’s education, I am offering treatments for a reduced price of 300 DKK per hour.

Body therapy is based on the understanding that our psyche and body are inherently interconnected. The treatments combine pulsating massage techniques with open conversations.

They can:
- calm your nervous system
- bring you in better contact with your body
- release blocked energy with the help of guided breathing.

Sessions over a longer period of time can also help with stress, anxiety, chronic pain and much more.

Feel free to drop me a message if you’re curious about body therapy and want to know more and/or to book a time with me.

I am looking forward to moving you!

PS: I am used to treating in English but also happy to give it a try in German, French or Danish.
