Dirk Sloof TheOpenSpace (Winterthur)

Dirk Sloof is a federally recognized psychotherapist, self-esteem trainer, shiatsu therapist and meditation coach. Self-esteem is perhaps the most essential issue we face as human beings. Our self-esteem plays a central role in how we live and perceive our daily lives. How we treat ourselves and those around us. Self-esteem comes from getting to know ourselves and who we really are. Most people's lives are based on assumptions about themselves and others that are questionable at best and staggeringly untrue at worst. The image we have of ourselves is created from feedback from others, which has an amazingly large impact on how we feel about ourselves and others as well.

My practice "The Open Space" stands for SPACE. I want to meet you on three levels. Holistically, through conversation, with meditation techniques and with Shiatsu massage (finger pressure) combined with perception exercises. With this I address not only the mental center, that which thinks, but also the physical center, the body and the emotional center, our emotional world.
