Mental health is vital because it shapes how we experience and respond to life’s challenges, influencing our capacity for balance, resilience, and growth. You can train your mind to navigate adversity with equanimity, kindness, and break free from ingrained patterns that hold you back.

Today's world is fast-paced and complex. Constant changes challenge our mental health. To cope with this, it's important to realign our inner compass and mindset. Mindfulness, self-reflection, and body awareness help build inner strength and manage stress more effectively. I support people in finding their own path and share my experiences from my ongoing journey of learning.

For women and people who menstruate, mental health is closely linked to the menstrual cycle.
As a business psychologist and yoga instructor specializing in women's health,
I connect the physical aspects of the cycle with its mental and emotional dimensions.
In my class, we tune into the individual phases and qualities of the cycle and the experience of being a woman.

Practice doesn’t have to be too serious or complicated; it’s about showing up as you are and moving with kindness.
To me, mental health means feeling balanced, supported, and safe in both body and mind.
It’s not about being happy all the time, but about having the tools, practices, and people that help navigate life’s ups and downs with resilience and compassion.
Just like physical health, it needs regular attention and practice :)

My path was one of reconnecting with my body and breath—healing my own wounds and learning to hold myself from within. This inner transformation shaped how I live and share the practice today: as a path of self-care, authenticity, and presence.
I create nurturing spaces that gently help people feel at home in their bodies and minds, while cultivating resilience. For me, mental health means inhabiting ourselves fully—listening, softening, and honoring where we are, while also allowing ourselves to be supported along the way.

Nutritionist
As a certified yoga teacher and nutrition coach, I help people reconnect with their bodies. At the heart of my work is a mindful and intuitive approach: you learn to listen to your body’s signals, eat in a healthy way without restriction, and as a result become leaner, fitter, and more balanced in the long run. By combining evidence-based nutrition therapy, movement, and body awareness, I guide you toward real and sustainable change – clear, individual, and practical for everyday life.

Mental health, to me, means truly getting to know yourself with everything that makes you who you are. It is about noticing the quiet voice of your body amidst the often loud pace of daily life, learning to trust it, and reconnecting with yourself again and again. This is exactly where I support you through yoga, coaching, or sexual counseling, offering you tools to find inner balance, release stress, and feel safe and at home in your body.

The nervous system bridges body and mind. When mental health is supported, the body responds with balance and vitality. Likewise, conscious movement activates pathways that help regulate emotions and inner states.
In my work, I combine body awareness, expressive movement, and psychological insight to guide people in releasing tension, uncovering inner joy, and cultivating authentic confidence.
My approach is empathetic and tailored, creating a safe space where self-expression becomes a tool for healing, growth, and meaningful transformation.

Coach & Sexual Counselor
Mental health means, for me, pausing and asking myself: How do I want to feel today, and what do I need to get there? In the rush of everyday life, these small moments are essential to find clarity and a sense of inner calm. At slows I want to create a space where we can practice exactly that together: arriving, reflecting, noticing our needs, and gaining new perspectives.

As a holistic nutrition consultant, I believe that food has healing powers! The foundation for a healthy mindset is a healthy body—it is our temple and our most valuable asset. Because we sometimes forget this in today's loud and fast-paced world, I aim to inspire others to eat more consciously and mindfully and to understand which foods and eating habits nourish the body.

Hi, I'm Patricia – founder of Slows!
I am actually an industrial engineer and former social media consultant who took my work a bit too seriously and neglected other areas of my life. Mental health is important to me because people are important to me! We only have this one health, and we can proactively do something about it.

I’m a psychotherapist in training and a yoga teacher with a deep passion for body-oriented work – using breath, visualizations, mindful movement, and therapeutic approaches.
To me, mental health is alive, fluid, and imperfect.
It means valuing myself, regularly tuning in to my needs, desires, and dreams – and gently readjusting where change is needed.

Hi, as a certified Sound Practitioner and Life Coach, I work on two levels: MIND (with the INNER Shifting method) and BODY (through Minimalistic Sound).
I care deeply about mental health — not just because it’s part of my own journey, but because so many of us struggle with it.
I just wish we could treat ourselves with more kindness and love, and be more open about how we’re really feeling.
That’s why I share the tools that have helped me the most — in the hope that they might support others too. <3

PSYCHOTHERAPIST (IN TRAINING)
Mental health, for me, is about finding an inner home I can return to, no matter what life brings. In my years as a C-level executive, life was stressful and fast, and I often lost that connection. Through yin yoga, hypnosis, and sound I found ways back to awareness and safety in my body. Now, as a coach and facilitator, I share these pathways so others can discover their own inner home.
