Through Jakob's path of personal growth and self-discovery, we explore how embracing the unknown can challenge traditional beliefs and open doors to profound healing. Jakob's method uses a blend of ontological coaching, somatics, transpersonal psychology, IFS, CBT, NLP, Yogic philosophy, and more, drawing from experience of over 10+ years in personal development and techniques learned from pioneering experts in nervous system dynamics and somatic work.
