about me
We can only become an 'I' through the 'You'. / Dami Charf

I am Dayana
For me, the meaning of the words above by Dami Charf are the key to trauma healing. In trauma therapy as well as in Reiki, my wish is to gently open up the experience to you that real, honest contact is possible and is not only safe today, but absolutely healing.
In 2015, after a difficult phase in my life, I myself seemingly ended up in a dead end. But it was precisely there that a door opened for me towards more understanding and acceptance of both the past and the present. This challenging situation set a process in motion that has not only become easier and more exciting over time, but also more joyful. Since Reiki came into my life, daily self-treatment with the warming and transformative Reiki energy has complemented my healing journey. It has once again opened up a whole new world for me and shown me that everything is in relationship.
For me, every crisis now harbours an opportunity for growth. I have learnt that life is always for us and not against us. It wants to draw our attention to issues that we have not paid enough attention to so far. It wants to bring us a little closer to ourselves every time. So that we become a little more aware of who we really are and what emotional patterns and traumas from the past are in us and have shaped our lives so far.
In addition to my conventional training as a primary school teacher and interior designer, I have been working intensively on my personal growth for ten years now. In connection with this, I have acquired a great deal of knowledge about trauma work, body psychotherapy, developmental psychology and energy work through self-study, therapeutic sessions, self-awareness and trainings.
Having worked as a trauma therapist and Reiki practitioner for a number of years now, I know that both approaches address the same deep life issues and can bring about profound change - but from different perspectives. While trauma therapy tends to focus on relationship healing on the attachment and body level, Reiki tends to focus on relationship healing on the energetic and spiritual level.
I am repeatedly inspired by people like Aline LaPierre, Gabor Maté, Katie Byron, Eckhart Tolle, Marie Manuchehri and Sabrina Fox. For my personal development process, however, the most important thing is that I decide anew every day to take an honest interest in myself. This is the greatest gift I can give myself and the world.
