Presence instead of pressure – safety in performance

Many musicians experience performance situations as stressful or even threatening. The body reacts with tension, nervousness, or blocks — even though there is no actual danger.

Hypnosis can support a shift in this internal perception.

Through hypnotherapeutic work, it becomes possible to experience that performance situations are not dangerous, but safe moments of focused awareness. The nervous system can learn to distinguish between real threat and artistic presence.

From survival to connection

A musical performance is not a biological test of survival.
It is an opportunity:

• to connect with the music
• to stay present in the body
• to connect with other people

Hypnosis can help shift attention away from control and self-monitoring toward expression, perception, and connection.

Possible focus areas

• Stage fright and performance anxiety
• Excessive self-control
• Physical tension
• Blocks during practice or performance
• Trust in one’s musical expression

My approach

I work as a musician myself and know these situations from direct experience.
Hypnotherapy is applied in a calm, structured, and individualized way — without pressure, manipulation, or loss of control.

Mental training is an important aspect of any musician's life. I have used several tools to help me along the way

I have used Maxwell Maltz's methods to see and feel my way into performing better. NLP is a key factor for goal setting in my career as a freelance musician. Hypnotherapy has shown me a way to deal with the roots of many of our issues as musicians.

A deep connection with yourself begins with a deep understanding of yourself and your life. Once these are established, it becomes fun to learn, explore, and connect with the music, yourself, and your audiences.
