Our Story: A Journey Through Body, Mind & Cosmos

Combination of Therapy & Astrology

Sander’s path

For over 30 years, my path has been a continuous journey of discovery—one that weaves together the wisdom of ancient traditions with modern therapeutic practices. My first steps began at 16, diving into the profound philosophies of the I-Ching and Taoism, which ignited a lifelong fascination with energy and the human body. This led me to a deep study of modern astrology at 20, and later, to a career as a therapist specializing in energetic therapy, reflexology and massage therapy.

The real turning point came in 2020. I embarked on a deep dive into traditional astrology, which shifted my perspective entirely. I discovered how techniques like Whole Sign Houses, Sect & Essential Dignities, improved my results with Directions dramatically. This can accurately help to highlight significant changes in a person’s life.

This concept answered several important questions for myself about modern astrology, which resonated deeply with my work as a therapist.

This was the moment I saw how seamlessly astrology and my therapeutic practice were intertwined.

Astrology provides a powerful lens to see what’s happening in your life, offering not just a map of the stars, but a guide to understand your own possibilities and challenges.


Conny’s path

My partner, Conny, has been following her path of continuous journey of discovery for over 40 years. She began her journey as a Clinical Chemical Analyst in a hospital, approaching health from the symptomatic perspective. She started her advanced professional training to become a Naturopathic Therapist for animals, which initially caused an internal conflict with her symptomatic regular view.

Her further journey and multiple studies into human health as a therapist/ lifecoach, from both a Western and Eastern perspective, brought many new insights. The last, crucial missing link in this journey was the introduction to Yoga, Tai Chi, and Chi Kung, particularly Nei Dan Gong. This resulted in completing her Master Chi Kung training and experiencing firsthand what this practice could offer people in the West.

As a certified Chi Kung teacher and therapist with a background in life-coaching, her work complements mine perfectly. Chi Kung helps you build awareness of the energy flowing through your body and find inner peace. With that, you are creating a balanced foundation that supports all aspects of your well-being. This is achieved through a unique combination of therapy intertwined with astrology concepts. Together, we provide a holistic space where you can explore the connections between your inner world, your physical health, and the larger cycles of the cosmos.
