Because I support and guide with consciousness, heart love and with deep appreciation for the intelligence of a human body being, not influenced by gender or condition, for you to shift into a lighter integrative being!

That’s a bold claim. How do I back it up?

There are infinite reasons. Here are the top 9 reasons:

	1)    I guide you until all your questions are answered or problems are solved. All challenges are opportunities to grow.
	2)    I guide you to inner motivation and your own inner wisdom and intuitive skills.
	3)    Receive an inner-depth self realization awareness to take the external guesswork out for what will work for your body by eliminating the noise and come to stillness. Gain fluidity and easiness in movement for fierceness and strength to eliminate pain, increase energy, reduce excess patterns in and outside of you to experience overall integrated body health.
	4)    The choices for feeling great, finding yourself, feeling yourself to move with grace and easiness with corrective exercises for mind and body are totally confusing. We sift through it all and separate fact from fiction. We explain why specific movements for mind and body will work for you and while others will not. Approaches will differ from person to person. We draw in from modalities from the east to the west.
	5)    We’ll contact you no matter what. Even if it’s just to tell you (gently and honestly) that we are not the right facilitator for you. If this is the case, we are happy to refer you.
	6)    We specialize in unique and unusual situations that many won’t touch or have not received the wisdom to manage.
	7)    You’ll experience the unmatched 360-degree approach. Strictly total integration of you that you call “I am”. To gather one-on-one is 10% of the program.  We will address your influences of your lifestyle, your conditioned daily habits and origination, including your decisions how you take care of your self with nutrition, movements and activities that we call life that contribute to movement to an out of balance experience and not understanding why.
	8)    We support you with heart and love like no one else! We send and support you with information that will build brides for you to shift. To transition from the old vibration to the higher self.  This learning is called neuroplasticity. What fires together wires together when you are reprograming your brain synapses. We arrange meetings that will support you the most to shift by honoring the cycles of mother earth to come back into harmony to a full integrated human being.
	9)    Stay in the present of now to come out of pain and misery. I am proud of gained wisdom through all opportunities, challenges, hardship, guiding from experience and continuous studies. I strive to study the movement and many layers of a human being for more than 30 years. This includes anatomy, its functions, neurological development the cycles of mother earth, influence of the sun and moon, the vibration and rhythms of harmony, love, peace and happiness to serve you the best! To guide you to shift into a full balanced integrate human being.

“I have spend 30+ years of my life in Europe, the United States and the Middle East to study kinesiology and physiology, including human movement of the mind and body. Fascinated I was by the mechanical and psychological mechanisms of how our own organisms (all cells and atoms) use our own produced chemicals through senses of smell, touch, vision changes form, functions and ultimately the experience within our living system. 

I have witnessed first-hand how frustrating, confusing and uninspiring many guidance can be. Some are diluted from the source of origination. I have experienced it myself and though I do the right thing. Yet, it was just a vehicle of transition to the next layer, deepening my understanding. 

It happen to me. I had injury. I had pain. I began questioning knowledge and started to reach out to ancient wisdom, the sources, where rooted information is originating from. 

This research led me to a knowledge of simplicity that accomplishes results without the wear and the tear of repeated movements patters of mind and body and without increasing stress on your many systems including your endocrine, muscular, skeletal, digestive, nervous, or visceral systems. As well referred to as Annamaya Kosha, Pranamaya Kosha, Manomaya Kosha, Agyanamaya Kosha, Vigyanamaya Kosha and Anandamaya Kosha. Curious has helped me move ahead, to understand and to connect with ancient wisdom to see which clairty through confusion.  

This wisdom I am ready to share with you.

The time is over of pushing yourself so hard that you are in pain the next day and can’t move. You can’t train like an athlete if you sit  all day long without addressing the structural implications that have altered your movements and address your energetic body.

Our body is a body of intelligence. I appreciate and honor this and work with it. I teach you body wisdom and how to be gentle and kind to your own intelligent body systems and work with them to achieve intended results.  

The results are amazing! All body and mind movements become fluid and not stuck. Body and mind are strong and leaner. You are resilient in your authenticity. Your life will be a joy when you eliminate pain of looping thoughts in mind manifesting in your body. Your energy will skyrocket, and you will gain the happiness that might be currently lacking . Don’t be held back from experiencing 360-degree integration of your body and mind movement. 

My programs have been featured in many publications, including Fitness, Shape, More, Cosmopolitan, Woman’s Day, First Woman, The New York Times, the New York Sun, and Forbes online. I currently contribute to ABCnews.com, television’s CW11 – The Morning News Show, and The Huffington Post.

“When I came for our first consultation I was in pain and every part of my body seemed to ache. I was unable to stand properly, to walk without compensating for the pain in my hips, or to even stand straight without the middle of my back sending painful charges up and down my spine. After a thorough and careful examination you pinpointed all of the issues/misalignments/shifts and explained to me what is happening in my body that is causing so much discomfort.

Towards the end of the first session I learned the proper breathing techniques, which in turn alleviated some of the shortness of breath issues I’ve experienced for over a year. Soon enough I began I was walking free of pain in my hips, my neck and my shoulders and learned how to realign my body if pain returned.

Every session was filled with valuable information, custom-tailored to my physical and physiological needs and abilities. This personal and highly researched approach helped me gain strength gradually without overwhelming my system. I am now able to run longer, coordinate my breathing, understand proper alignment, which muscle groups are supposed to activate during a given exercise and how to structure an effective work-out routine.

Thanks to you and your Integrated Movement Therapy program I now have a much better understanding of how certain foods affect metabolism and how to structure my nutritional intake to best achieve my wellness goals.

This has been a wonderful, rewarding and intense learning experience that could NOT have been possible with any other specialist. In fact, I am not sure there are people who possess this level of knowledge and experience.

I write this as I finish a (small) salad of wild arugula, wild tomatoes, anise, almonds, lemon juice and balsamic vinegar, because now I know how important enzymes are!

With immense gratitude for all you’ve done and continue to do for me.”

Five ankle operations after a horse riding accident 15 years ago left me with little flexibility and quite a lot of pain in my right ankle. As a competing athlete (track and cross country runner) I was always very active and planned to continue maintaining performance and body. Unfortunately because of the accident, I was unable to do this and I lost muscle tone and much of my endurance.

About as year ago I started working with the Strength 123 “ Integrative Movement Therapy” program by Stefan Aschan. When training as an athlete, we were told how to do it. Stefan’s program took me beyond the basics into connecting the how and why, which we had not been taught back then. This has allowed me to get back into an active lifestyle without injuring myself and improving my performance.

I now know how to stabilize and move correctly, using strength and basic movement patterns that I had lost, right from day one. We have built up core strength, retrained and re-conditioned both body and mind, paying special attention to muscle usage, correct posture and balance.

The changes in my diet and a new exercise regime, advised by Stefan, has changed my life, as well as reducing body fat from 24.5% to 20.0%.
I never thought that I would be able to exercise any where near to my old level, but have been proven wrong. At the moment, alongside two personal training sessions, I run 10 miles and cycle 30 miles every week. Still going strong.

In 2007, I injured my back severely. I wasn’t able to sit with out pain, socialize at a dinner table, or sit comfortably while driving a car. It was difficult to tie my shoes and painful to pick up my newborn baby. I was fearful that I wouldn’t be able to breastfeed my baby or even hold her for more than a few minutes. I was terrified that my back pain would not improve and that I wouldn’t be able to properly care for my daughter as she grew.

I saw many different doctors, including neurologists, a pain management specialist, a chiropractor, and even an acupuncturist. I also tried two different physical therapists. I tried all the treatments the doctors advised and went to months of physical therapy, but nothing helped. One of the neurologists urged me to work with a personal trainer before considering back surgery.

Then I met Stefan. It only took a few minutes of conversation for me to decide to work with him. Not only does he understood all my medical issues, he is also extremely knowledgeable about nutrition and fitness. In fact, he knows much more than any of the physical therapists! His approach is novel, but grounded in current scientific data. In addition, he is easy to talk with, both friendly and outgoing.

Three months later, my back pain has decreased dramatically from level 7 to level 1.

I can sit.

I can complete any common daily living task.

I can carry my 22 pound child all day long.

I have my own pain free life back.

Because of the Strength 123 program, I am no longer worried that I cannot care for my child. I feel energized and empowered. I am confident and happy.

The reduction of fat tissue was just a by-product and not a focus of mine. Yet, I went from 24.90% to 19% body fat. All my friends ask what I eat and how I work out. They too want to be a size 4! The nutritional program, Mental Detox, changed my way of eating and it showed. I have more energy, sleep better and feel great about myself.

It is time to start playing sports again. I am looking forward to signing up for a Zogsports volleyball team with my husband. Without Stefan’s help and his Strength 123 program I would not be able to give my baby the care she deserves and would not be able to enjoy holding her and playing with her.

I needed help. I had gained almost 20 lbs because of my intense travel schedule and feeling out of control with my eating habits.

Exercise did not exist as traveling and my intense work schedule took my energy. In short, I was in a downward spiral and needed to get out of it.

Stefan’s programs, the Strength 123 and Mental Detox program, helped me to lose 19 lbs in 8 weeks.

Yet, this was not the only benefit that I have experienced. I changed my attitude from “no, I can’t” to “yes, I can do it”. I feel confident and in control. I have more energy. The best part of Stefan’s programs are, that they are feasible and I can do them anywhere. This has worked for me and I am confident that it will work for you.
